I've brought up this topic because I believe there are many people who are capable of doing something but they fail because of their strangeness, I believe there are graphic designers, website designers, Translators, and so on. But they are not given a chance because they have just started offering their services so they do not have any past works to use as proof of what they offer. This has been a challenge for many including me! I ask for advice on this, dear friends.
Suppose a person is a graphic designer, and he decides to post his services here in the forum to get customers, but that person has just finished learning graphic designing so he has never worked for a single client! Now the challenge comes when the person creates his post here about his services and some people start asking about his past works while he just finished learning and he is trying to get his first customer here!
Do you think it would be easy for that person to be trusted if he had never worked for a client before? How would you interpret this person, would you dare to give him your work?
I think you should make a good portfolio, because even though you just finished your studies and didn't have clients, you certainly had a lot of independent projects through your studies, I think you should put those works in your portfolio, so clients could see if they like something.

You should also need to join some freelancer sites or some micro job sites, there you can also gain a clientele.
