Freelancer Education Descriptions Search Indexable By Upwork?

[71a4ee34]

Hey Upworkers!

A few months back Upwork profiles changed and the education section did along in these changes.

Previously you were able to enter a text description describing an individual education experience you were listing on your profile, and the description would actually display on the Upwork freelancers profile in the education section.

Now, you can still fill out the description, but it does not show on the freelancer profile anymore.

My niche on Upwork involves helping other freelancer optimize their freelancer profiles, so I'm wondering if there's any benefit or reason to continue filling out the education description anymore?

Perhaps Upwork's search engine and algorithm are still indexing the text entered here? Or perhaps not.

Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you! 🙂

Hi Robert,

Yes, the Education description has always been an option but has been removed from profiles in the most recent profile redesign. It will not show in searches any longer.

Thanks!
