Applications Not Reflected in List of Outstanding Proposals

Yesterday I applied to two jobs.

 

Under my Find Work/Saved Jobs list both jobs are showing with the word “Applied” in blue above their titles.

 

But when I check on my Find Work/Proposals list neither job is listed.

 

Both jobs are apparently still available; neither job is shown as having a freelancer hired yet.

 

What’s going on here? I have never double-checked my applications against my proposals list, but it might explain why I've not been getting much traction with potential new clients lately.

Hi Will, 


I checked your Saved Jobs list and didn't find any jobs there. Is the proposal already listed in your Active Proposals, or Archived Proposals page?

Did you check under "Archived"? 

No. I neve thought to.

 

Is it possible proposals submitted yesterday would already be archived when proposals made in previous days are still showing up in my list of proposals sent?

Sure, whyever not?

 

 

I don't know whyever not, Petra.

It's not that unusual. Sometimes clients withdraw/close jobs after posting them without hiring anybody for whatever reason, and the proposals end up being archived. Or they hire somebody quickly and close the job.

Do the proposals appear as "declined" or "withdrawn" when you look at your archive tab?

Lisa/Miriam/Avery,

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 

I had never paid any attention to the Active Proposals, Submitted Proposals or Archived lists before.
