I can't save my employment history

Hello, 

Could someone help me out? I can't save my employment history. When I add an employment section, the save button is disabled for some reason. What could it be? Attached screenshot below. I did try filling all the sections as well. 

Regards,
Karthik

Hi Karthik,

 

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with this. Can you try clearing your browser cache and cookies or using a different browser and see if the problem persists?

Thank you,

Hi Mahtab,

 

I see that you've already added an item to your employment history. Can you please share more information about the error you're seeing when you try it? If you can share a screengrab of what you see on your end, that would be helpful.

Hi Luiggi,

 

I am new to Upwork and I've been struggling adding my employment history for the same reason. As you can see from the attached, I have filled out all the information but the "Save" button is greyed out (disabled). As others did, I cleared my browser history and cooking and have tried multiple browsers. Since this is a recurring issue, I suspect that the issue is not on the user's (my) end but Upwork's end. It is not clear what users that did resolve this issue did to resolve it. Without the ability to add my Employement history I doubt I will be able to get and work through this platform. 

 

I you want, I can show you the issue via a zoom call. 

 

Please assist me in resolving this issue.

Regards,

Keith

Hi Pradeep,

I was able to add my employment history. However, why is it still requiring me to add it on my profile completion, which I already did? It seems that the percentage is not accurate. I am so confused. I need help with this one.

Hi Carmela,

 

What you are seeing are suggestions of what you can add to increase your profile completion percentage. So even if you've added an Employment HIstory item, you'll still be given the option to add more (up to 20%). If you already have enough Employment History items, you may choose any of the other alternatives to increase your profile completion percentage. Check out this page to learn more.
