I Had My First Interview as a Freelancer… in a Pandemic!

I was awarded the "Top Rated" badge on Upwork in May 2020. This platform has really opened up a lot of doors for me. It has allowed me to work with the best clients across the world and I had my first interview to discuss my success with others.  This is something that I wouldn't have been able to do with a regular 9-5 job.
