Feature Request: Active Proposals screen enchancement

In screen "Find work"->Proposals there is section "Submitted proposals". It will be very convenient to see some info from job's page:

-Last viewed by client

-Interviewing

 

This info is opened to freelancer anyway. But everytime I have to click click click to check if client skipped my profile as inappropriate(just guesssing) or client didnt check job at all for last few days. Also if he checked job and interviewing someone, that also means he skipped me. Get idea? 

 

So I will be able to analyze current proposals, which of them are lost and which still have chances to win.

To be honest, the best tactic is to shoot off your proposal and then forget all about it until / unless the client contacts you back.

 

There is no meaningful analysis that can be achieved by looking at submitted proposals.

Not agree at all.

 

I do not flood with applying. Moreover upwrok changes its policy and make each appllication cost more (1-6 connects). So I have to apply to only jobs which looks good from all apsects and I'm sure I can help with particular job. So after each applicaiton I want to analyze if employer checked job. This will help freelancer to create guesses about what could go wrong, change strategy of applciaiton, change cover letter, etc.

 

" best tactic is to shoot off " - oh really? each employer I'm talking with, say he is **bleep**ing tired off shooting with applicants and can not find any real specialist in flooded list, and this list arises because of your "best practice".

Abject nonsense.

I simply prefer to put my effort into creating my proposal (carefully, of course) before I apply - then shoot it off and not think about it again.

 

I (clearly and obviously) did not mean that it is best practice to send ill thought out spam proposals.

If you really want to see that info, you can see it on the original job post.
