Rising Talent Program *NOW LIVE*

[John Francis N]

Hi Lena,

I've sent dozens of proposals to clients, bought an Upwork Plus Membership account, updated my profile, and even lowered hourly/project rates in the proposals and I still can't land a single client to boost my score & profile. Some of the jobs require that I'm in the Rising Talent Program, I'm looking into forums to where/who I can ask to be included in the Program. Hope someone from your team can help me out. 

Regards,

John

Hi John, 

The Rising Talent status is assigned automatically when a freelancer meets the requirements listed here. This process is working as designed and we can't specify a reason why a freelancer isn't eligible for receiving the Rising Talent badge. Once you qualify, you should receive a notification letting you know.
