Hi Johnke,
Did you see the hints provided regarding your quote title? The title should summarise the essence of your offer to the job poster (=outsourcer), while the Message box is used to convey a brief message to the outsourcer, for example:

- why you are particularly well-placed to take the job;
- details regarding your specific, relevant experience;
- other information that is important.

HTH, Ralf ▲ Collapse
