I've started web design and I am trying to begin on Upwork before moving on to projects outside Upwork. Following @SinisterLex 's and @Fox 's advice on getting approved. Unfortunately I have not been able to get approved after many tries. Can you guys take a look at my bios and other settings in the files attached below? I want to get a third person perspective on what is wrong so I can fix it and get approved.

I have 2 versions, one focused on one skill following @SinisterLex 's method, and another based on some advice given online from other sources. Although the second one is a little exaggerating and not 100% truthful, I don't intend on keeping it after I get approved.

I also have 3 example websites for fictional companies in my Upwork portfolio: Car company, manufacturing company, personal

I am making a guess that it is either my age (16) or lack of university or college education that is getting me rejected. But that just might be my poor excuse for having a shitty bio and settings.

I need a perspective from someone else other than myself on this subject. Any advice on changing my profile?

Thanks guys
