Congratulations, you’re a top Software Development freelancer EMAIL

Wait, but I am a graphic designer. 

 

I wonder who is reviewing our profiles at Upwork and inviting us to get the new Vetted Gadget, which I would love to get, but I am not a software developer.  Will those be the same who: Priority by Upwork’s internal teams helping clients to find expert talent? Once we get vetted? 

 

Reminds of the so-called Talent Specialist who rarely same me related invitations.

 

You seriously have to put a little more effort into this. 

 

I know it`s been slow for everyone everywhere in this crazy time, but I now see (and apply) a ton of job posting, but still, no hire for about 3 months. So, I had some good expectation if got vetted, what a shame. 

 

Best,

Wilson 

 

 

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi Wilson, 

 

You received an email that included information about our Skill Certifications, this is separate from Expert Vetted and I'll be sharing more information in a formal announcement on Skill Certifications this week. As for the category, I will double-check with the team, but I believe these were meant to only be sent to those in the web and software development categories initially. This is why you only see those certification topics on the list.

The expert vetted thing is available for graphic designers. Someone probably just used the wrong header.

I read it`s available for us, I am waiting for it. Hope it was only a mistake.

They also send me a LINK to earn an Upwork Skill Certification, which I think it`s a coder certification. 

 

So, should I click it on it or not? Because I don`t think it was only the header.

Better wait for a moderator to weigh in, I'd rather you didn't click on anything that could mess things up 🙂

Hi Wilson,

 

I'd like to confirm that this invitation is legit and was sent by Upwork team. We will be sharing more information about the program soon but if you're interested, feel free to respond to the invite and apply. I'll also flag the issue with the category in the header of the email to the team.

Hi Valeria, so if click on the APPLY button it will take me to a graphic designer test? Just want to confirm. 

What I thought... it wasn`t only the header.  See attach. 

 

Please ask someone to re-send me the invitation with the right category.

Thanks, Lena. I already got a reply with the right category.

Hi Umer and Shweta,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. The email you received was to inform you of our new Skill Certifications program. We are inviting freelancers to share if they’re interested in completing one of the assessments we have available. We currently have 10 skill certifications in the Web  & Mobile Software Development and 16 in Design & Creative categories. We hope to expand skill certifications to other categories in the future. You can find more information about the certification program and process in this Help article.

If there isn’t an assessment that relates to your skill then we don’t have a certification that would be suitable for you at this time. We'll follow up in the Community with an update as we continue to assess and expand the program.

I have just been invited to earn a software developer certification, but I'm not a developer. Is this process automated, or are freelancers curated by the Upwork staff? 🙂
