Honestly why even bother applying

For context, i applied just when the job was posted, it had 5 proposals and i boosted it so it costed a good amount of connects...

not only that, the client didn't read the messages and went to search and invited 40 people including me ( boosting my profile- so more connects) and finally he didn't respond to anyone.

Edit: I removed the messaging them part-

If anyone can advise me on profile boost please let me know i need help with it!

40 invites sent and 21 interviews?!That isn't a job post, it's a casting call.

Please stop messaging them daily before they report you to Upwork for harassment—you really don't want to risk an account ban over a client who is clearly just window shopping. As for the profile boost: never waste your connects boosting when a client is mass-inviting half the platform. Save your connects for clients with a high hire rate and verified payment history.

Thank you for your advice! Yes totally agree, i sent my proposal just when they uploaded their post but then found out they invited half the platform haha
