You must use your existing freelancer/contractor account,
You will activate a client profile within your current, already established freelancer account.
You must never create a second account on Upwork.

Hi Margarete,
Go to your settings, then scroll down, where you find the following on the bottom left:
Thank you for the precise explanation. I was aware that I must not open a second account but was not sure if this is also relevant if my alter ego wants to establish a client profile.

Hi Petra,
Has how this worked changed, I assume it has over this period of time, I am a long-time freelancer and wish to post a project to hire another freelancer to take on some task for me.
I cannot for the life of me find how to post a job, if I click the get started under new projects, it keeps taking me to my freelancer landing page (my job search).
Here are the choices I see on my setting tabs.
Thanks Graham
