Solicited proposals: A customer reaches out to your business and asks for a proposal to solve XYZ. This is also known as a request for proposal or RFP. They may be an existing client that has worked with your business before, or they may have found your business from a web search or through word of mouth.
It may seem like a lot of work to drum up a consulting proposal template out of thin air, particularly when there are so many sample proposals for services out there, but with some planning, you can create a template that sees you through almost every new client proposal.
Like students in other professional fields, law students experience significant transitions during their education. These transitions consist of intense learning periods associated with major change as students develop their professional identities. These challenges and experiences allow students to develop and internalize the skills needed to be a successful lawyer. Law schools are in a unique position to create and reinforce structures to help students navigate these transitions and maximize professional identity formation. This paper will detail some of these transitional challenges and provide recommendations for law schools to further support students during transitions--most notably during the summer following their 1L year. Summer employment is a key transition point and a crucial opportunity for professional development and growth. The challenge for law schools is that summer employment falls outside their curriculum and oversight. But even when such transformational experiences occur outside of the traditional curriculum, law schools can still utilize effective pedagogy for professional identity formation to help students maximize their development and internalization of professional values. Experiential learning, and externship pedagogy in particular, uniquely aligns with professional identity formation. By implementing common externship pedagogical tools, such as goal setting, reflection, and skills assessment, law schools can help students develop professional identity in real-world practice settings, particularly over the summer after 1L year. This article proposes that law schools implement professional identity formation programs comprised of key externship pedagogical tools and provides suggestions for creating stakeholder buy-in for such programs.
In May, another incredible APMP BPC brought us together. I was lucky to attend and fortunate to present. The people I met and the sessions I attended spoke loud and clear; proposal work is a profession. Just ask the organizations who attended for the sole purpose of recruiting APMP members.
All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in this funding opportunity and in the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) that is in effect for the relevant due date to which the proposal is being submitted. It is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure that the proposal meets these requirements. Submitting a proposal prior to a specified deadline does not negate this requirement.
CAREER: The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Activities pursued by early-career faculty should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research. NSF encourages submission of CAREER proposals from early-career faculty at all CAREER-eligible organizations and especially encourages women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and persons with disabilities to apply.

For example, when a job discloses all the information I take the time to review all information and further provide clarification and knowledge on whatever the project is about. Then it tends to be a 'longer' proposal.
Thanks for your answer Lila! I think most of my very short proposals (just a few sentences) were replies to an invitation. I don't always make such habit. Only happens when I'm outside and accepting an invitation via mobile phone (where it's much more difficult for me to type longer proposals).
Being a client is a tough job, because analyzing various proposals to find the right one is a mess.

Greeting them in just 2-3 words (or in 1 line) is enough. You should use not more than 2 paragraphs to explain how you are a good fit for their job. As a client, I love to read proposals that include bullet points.
Perhaps, it's the way I write or not enough reputation. Of course, I try my best to connect on a personal and professional level and avoid having my proposals sound like automatically generated message or spam. I carefully read the job posts and propose according to the job post.
