Hello everyone! The same issue is happenning with me. Even I took 2 tests and got good result to see if it could help approving my profile, but it didn't.

Hi, 

I've submitted profile 4-5 times, with updated bio, did certifications and passed tests with Top 10% regarding his skill. Still, my profile is not getting approved. Please look into it.

My profile link is: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01391fb05ad1a8e0aa

Hi team,

Same here. I've tried several times with different skills and different Descriptions. I'm an Actuary and a  Chartered Accountant. There are not many actuaries on Upwork and combination is even rare.

Please help.

Hi!

I'm Maruf. My profile also got rejected 4 times. I have updated my skills and relevant information but none of those worked out. Now, what's the best way to get approval from Upwork? Your helpful advice will be very appreciable. Thanks in advance.

[Tharindu I]

I have submitted several times my profile to approve. However, it was not approved yet. Every time when it is rejected there was a displayed message in my profile, which said that we have sent you a mail, regarding the mistakes in my profile. But I didn’t receive any mail regarding my profile.

I have only received this mail in each rejected time.

I have 100% completed my profile. Each and every rejected time I have describes more about my experiences and completed tests. One of my skill is demanding in Upwork. Is my profile rejected with an automated bot or something? Can anyone help me, please?

[Deep K]

I'm in the exact same situation. I have submitted my profile countless times now. In fact I deleted a whole profile, made a new one, only to have it rejected. It just doesn't make sense. I see jobs with my skills being posted en mass and I'm dying to apply for them.

Honestly, it's incredibly frustrating since my friend, with similar skills and experience, was approved without any issues and has had success with several jobs.

Not to mention that there isn't a direct troubleshooting contact for help/support for these issues.

Any help would be appreciated but I'm starting to feel that Upwork might not be the best option.

I am friends with Deep K and have only recently started using Upwork.
We have the same skillset and I am sure that our portfolios and industry experience is very similar so it does not make sense - why has Deep been rejected several times?
