Hey Community!
I’m Mike and I’m part of Upwork’s Talent Success team. Our team facilitates Upwork’s numerous webinars and events. If you recently attended the Upwork Power Webinar: Proposals That Sell, you might have some follow-up questions you want to ask. Because it’s only an hour long, we don’t always get to address everything.
So, let’s continue the conversation! Our Community team is ready to answer your questions and I’m here to loop in other experts.
If you haven’t attended “Upwork Power Webinar: Proposals That Sell”, you can register for an upcoming webinar on our Upwork Events page or view a previous session of the webinar here.
In the webinar, we teach you how to increase your chances to win more projects by learning tips on crafting amazing proposals:
Your Upwork proposal is your first opportunity to showcase your talent and experience to potential clients, give them an idea of what it’s like to work with you, and let them see what makes you stand out from the crowd.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Hello James,
I've participated in Upwork Power Webinar: "Proposals That Sell" in Russian by Evgeniy Beloshytskiy on May 13th, 2021. Overall it was excellent webinar however, it contained some very misleading information about mandatory ID verification. I have searched everywhere and didn't find any possibility to verify my Government ID, my name, or perform visual verification initiated by my request. I learnt it is only possible (and mandatory) upon UpWork request. I believe that webinar coaches were instructed to announce this since Evgeniy was not the only one who mentioned it. On May 12th, 2021 in webinar "Winning Profiles" Catalin Modorcea said exactly the same thing. I deliberatly took time to write this additional feedback because it is important to inform the platform users (epecially beginners) on those matters very carefully. I spent several hours investigating this subject (which I could use for something else more useful) to find out the information is false or misinterpreted. It creates the impression that Upwork gurus don't know the platform policies and spread disinformation along with useful tips.
Please let the Upwork administration and all webinar coaches know about this issue. It would be great if they could update support page articles on this subject adding that it is not possible to initiate ID or visual verification by the account user but only by Upwork. It would save time and effort looking for the information elsewhere or writing to the support or community.
Regards,
Nikola

Hi Nikola,
I'd like to clarify that profiles are set to private if you are a new freelancer and don't earn money on Upwork within 90 days of your first proposal, or you choose not to submit a proposal within your first 90 days. In this case, you are able to request that your profile be reset back to public here. That said, I went ahead and reset your profile visibility back to public already.
While a verified profile helps, it is not necessary for a client to be able to hire you that first time. I understand your concern and can assure you we are moving toward requiring all freelancers to verify their identity and this is slowly being rolled out to users of Upwork. You can learn more here.
I can see you were able to reply to your support ticket with our team regarding this. Please allow some time for our team to review and they will update you directly via ticket as soon as possible.

Hi Zubair,
Is there a specific question about your profile that we may be able to assist with?

Hi Judith,
Could you please clarify your request? What information might we be able to help you find?

Hi, there are a few questions I would like to ask.
1) Is there an Upwork team that can or reviews proposals?
2) How do I get testimonials from my former employers, clients or colleagues on Upwork?
3) Also my profile has been on Private for awhile now what do I do for it to be changed back to Public? Also I think this situation of changing a members' page to private if he/she doesn't apply for a job after some time should be reviewed. As in my case, I might check for jobs in a day & not find any that match my skills or interests me so I would not apply. I don't have any job at the moment but want one which I would enjoy, use my skills and learn new ones hence my being selective.
Thank you for time, would be expecting a response.
