Introduction:
A PDF Profile is a professional document, which provides an opportunity to the prospective client(s) to
know about products and services which an individual or a company offers.
PDF profiles can be used when approaching clients through freelance platforms, ad posting websites, and
online job posting websites. When a freelancer sends the PDF file, this file goes to the employer’s
email/inbox and remains there until the employer deletes that file.
It also serves as a reference of a freelancer or a company to the prospective client.

Problem statement:
You are required to create a PDF Profile of your freelance career. Make sure to write effective content for
a PDF Profile that will persuade the clients to know more about you and your services, which ultimately
leads to business growth in the future.

Tasks:
You’re required to include the followings details in your PDF profile;
1. Company Name or your Real Name
(It will help you to stand out.)
2. A professional tagline
(A tagline is a dramatic phrase that represents the vision/mission of the services in front of the
clients. Do not add skill relevant keyword(s) in your tagline e.g. Digital Marketer.)
3. A professional overview
(Your professional overview sets the tone for your whole services. You can add details about your
qualifications, expertise, and experiences.)
4. Service(s)
(Your service should explain, in your own words, what you’re offering to clients.)
5. Portfolio
(Highlight the best work in your portfolio. Your portfolio is practically guaranteed to draw
attention of a potential client: It’s your chance to show—not just tell—the quality of your work
and the value of your expertise.)
6. Freelance profile URL (if any)

Your profile shows the way you wish to present yourself to the community. You are encouraged to
present yourself in a professional manner by using Free MS Word template to create your PDF profile. It
