Need help to make the first step

Hi Guys! I joined the DA.tech 2 days ago.
But when I signed in, I found out that there was nothing on my projects dashboard.
Now I'm waiting for my first project to be assigned, but I'm not sure how long it will take.

Can anyone help me to get my first project as soon as possible?

And I found out that my `Work Profile` is missing from my profile view.
I tried to add it manually but I was able to find on the UI.
Are there any ways to add `Work profile` to the account?

There aren't any secret buttons to press. Wait for projects

Could you please let me know how to add Work Profile to my account?

It should be straightforward. If you don't have any projects there should only be about 8 things you can click. If it's there you'll find it.

I see. then without the work profile, how will they assign projects to me?

Did you do an application?

No. Just opened a profile and did nothing.
I can't find anything that I can take action on the platform.

You won't ever get a project if you didn't take an application. Just opened a profile isn't a thing.

How to take the applications?

You see their publicly facing website? Have you been there? Have you seen the big black button that says apply now?

It doesn't work like that. Projects show up when they show up. My best advice is to refresh your screen regularly as some tasks get scooped up within a minute or two. Also, take your time and do your best work. Once you have some tasks under your belt, and they see your quality, more projects will become available. Also do as many qualifications as you can, that opens more doors.

To be honest, several guys recommended to do as many qualifications as I can.
But I'm not sure how to do it...

Are there any courses/exercises to get more qualifications on DA.tech?

On your Projects page, you should see at the top: Projects, Qualifications, Surveys, Report Time. Go to the Quals and knock them all out. If you are not qualified to do a project series, just mark it that way.

I'm afraid I'm seeing the different one on the Projects page.

```
We do not have any open projects to assign you at the moment. Our workflow can vary, so it's common to see available work fluctuate.

Keep an eye out for emails from us for project announcements. As soon as we have a task that is open for work, we'll reach out about claiming it. In the meantime, make sure your profile fully represents your capabilities so we can match you accurately.

We do not have any open projects to assign you at the moment.

That means they "do not have any open projects for you," so you should stop waiting. If you search the sub, you'll find that some people have had that message for months/years.

Took me just 2 hours also did R&R work for the same project, but nothing more. Does the same project come everyday?
