Have you heard of the expression "attention span of a goldfish?"
Pop culture suggests that it only lasts for about 9 seconds.
We don't know if that's true or not, but the bad news is, the human attention span keeps getting shorter and shorter.
One study claims that the constant use of technology has reduced our attention span from 12 minutes to 5 minutes. It's primarily caused by technology - the way we consume news and video content that are 10 minutes or less have rewired our brains.
There's even a study that indicates our attention span could be shorter than a goldfish's - 8 seconds! Yup, E-I-G-H-T freaking seconds!
What can we do about this? And how does this impact freelancers?
As online contractors, we do a lot of digital communication. Whether you are sending an email, posting content on social media, writing a blog post, or submitting a proposal, you need to capture the attention of your audience and convince them to read on.
Applying for jobs and sending proposals are a huge part of a freelancer's life, especially if you are just starting out or you don't have long-term clients.
What can you do to stand out among the competition?
How can you increase your chance of getting your job application noticed?

I agree with Ms. Pamela. Optimize your profile and know what the client needs.
Hello Flippers
Agree ako sir Phoenix, it should be relevant sa kung anong position ang inaaplayan.
mag invest ka na sa profile pic mo. one time investment goes a long way.
Mas napapansin po ba ng client kung may profile video ?
Sir Phoenix tama po.. really learning every FCC ng Mondays!
May nagtry mag interview sakn due to profile pic!
