4 things you didn’t know

you could find on Upwork

Are you getting the most of Upwork? Because apparently, we aren’t 😀 Here are 4 things you didn’t know you could find on Upwork.

1. Upwork recipes

From Amish breakfast casserole and Lasagna rolls to Mexican wedding cookies or Ukrainian potato pancakes – there are 42 cool recipes you should check out: https://www.upwork.com/careers/upwork-communities/upworkfamily/recipe-center

2. Discounts and special offers in Business Resources

Before they redesigned this section you could see the % of discount or details of the special offer. Unfortunately, now you can only open the website of their partner and sometimes those offers are not valid anymore. But if you are thorough (as we tried to be), you can find some cool opportunities. These 2 are specifically for Ukrainians:

20% at IT Education Academy (ITEA)
20% for legal and accounting services from Finerevolution.
