Hi!

Any advise as to what else I can improve on to be eligible for this Rising talent badge?

My profile is at 100%, I've completed a couple projects with good ratings and some are still in progress so I still do not have enough to have a Job Success Score.

Would appreciate any input!

Hi Maria,

Rising Talent freelancers are experienced professionals with strong external work histories who’ve demonstrated early success with their clients on Upwork but don’t yet have an extensive history on Upwork or a Job Success score. Rising Talent status depends on your applications, work history, profile, skills, and background. 

You want to be selective and apply to quality jobs that fit your expert, write and submit strong proposals, and accepting your best offers.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.

I've only been applying to jobs that fit my skills: illustrating & fashion designing. As for whether they are 'quality jobs' what makes a job a 'quality job' or not? I need to know. Does this mean job postings are categorised as bad quality and good quality? And for the jobs that I have completed, I've only received 5 star feedback. Is there something wrong that I'm doing that makes me unqualified for the rising talent badge? Or something I'm not doing?

Hello, Lena!

I have recently received an e-mail from Dom Laguda, saying that I will be awarded with the Rising Talent status if I complete my upwork profile. I have just passed a test and my profile is 100% completed and I have set my status as available for new work. 

What do I have to do next to get the Rising Talent badge?

Thank you!

I had a rising star status and it literally disappeared on me once I refreshed the page. I'd assume it was some sort of error. I have 5 star feedback.

Dear Moderators

I have asked this question TWO times before AND raised it to CS more than a week ago, NO answer!

I am now forced to ask the same question here.

Why have I lost my Rising Talent status? We are told that due to the Beta version being successful the program is available for everybody and not random. Why does the removal of the badge seem so random to me and Amanda F?

Could you please specify why we lost it and how to get it back?

I would be thankful for an appropriate reply.

Regards

Thomas
