Job feed based on my categories all messed up

[thebrainwiz]

Why in my job feed there are jobs that are not marked as my categories?
I have selected My categories mostly graphics, but in job feed I get jobs that are outside of my selection like: PHP Scripts, HTTP, Java, Market Research, C, C++, Sales Process, Sales Management, Sales Operations, Sales Strategy...

Thank you.

Ilyass, could you please share a link to a search you're running and a screenshot of what you see as an example?

Hi,

My Feed contains jobs that have no relevance to the skills on my profile.

Examples:

My Job Feed (upwork.com)

My Job Feed (upwork.com)

My Job Feed (upwork.com)

Is this the design and everyone gets this as their feed or is there an error?

Thanks,

Ankur Mithal

Thank you for your response, Pradeep.

However, does not seem specific to my query. Can you please tell me, for either of the two examples I shared, why they were a part of My Feed. What did I do that triggered their inclusion.

Thanks,

Ankur

Hi.
Since yesterday my feed displays irrelevant jobs although my categories, saved and searched jobs are according to my skill and expertise.
The jobs appearing in my feed are really random ranging from interior designs and app development, project manager, assignment statistics etc.
Is there anything that can be done to solve this problem?

It's been like a couple of months that this happens but this past week has been the worst. My job feed shows nothing related to writing or copywriting. I guess Upwork wants me to try home design and coding. Can anyone tell me what's going on and how do I fix this.

Hello Pradeep,

Thanks for responfing back to me. I have already done these changes to my job search feed, searches and advanced searches but the problem still persists.

Hi All,

I'd like to provide an update about the issues discussed on this thread. The team identified an issue where feeds with saved searches had been showing some jobs that didn't match the parameters of the searches. That issue has already been fixed. If you still see jobs that don't match your skills and specialty in your My Feed tab, please make sure you save searches with relevant filters to your feed as described in this help article.

[sarapanhwer2000]

Hello  all, I hope you are well. I  have been using Upwork for the last one year now. Lately Upwork has been showing me irrelevant jobs. Despite removing tags, it is showing  me innumerable irrelevant jobs. 

Secondly, there is no support email provided anywhere . I am really disappointed. I would really appreciate any sort of help.

Hi, I am a Top Rated Plus Freelancer, however, my invitations to projects suck. I mostly get invitations to projects that do not match my skill set, or that require odd jobs not related to my profile.

What gives? I have not bothered asking before because I get a lot of workflow, but I would like to know what the criteria to recommend Upwork talent to clients is based on.

I imagine they are shown the best candidates to invite? Or is it totally random?

Thanks a lot.

Enrique

[PradeepH]

Hello Enrique,

I am sorry to hear about the issue you have with job invitations. This happens mostly when the Client invites Freelancers without checking their complete profile and skills or sometimes when Freelancer's skills are incorrectly matched by our search engine. While we have limited control over the Client's action while inviting Freelancers, we can try to help you configure your Job feed to check if that helps you resolve your issue.

My Feed tab of your Find Work page display jobs based on the searches that you saved. Could you please try configuring your feed again to your needs by running searches, applying filters, using the advanced search option, and saving your search to your feed? You can check out this help article for more information on how you can perform searches, save them to your feed and improve the results you see in your feed. Feel free to message if problems persist. 

Thank you

Hey, Before an update was made im sure, i would be able to see global jobs, people in other countries in the "my feed" section, and now i don't. is this a change i can not fix? I want to see other jobs that are available but currently can only see US jobs!

Thanks!

[AndreaG]

Hi Yaiko,

Could you please try clearing your cache and cookies or logging in with a different browser to see if the issue persists? Also, please try deleting your current saved searches and saving new ones with relevant filters to see if it helps.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Whatever I did, changing "My Categories", clearing cache, loggin out & in, clearing cookies, I can't get "My Feed" to show related job,

The issue appeared three weeks ago or so,

Please, I am not talking about "Advanced Search", "Best Matches", "Recommended",

Best regards,

Mohamed

Hi,

My job feed was fine 2 days ago, then I added a specialized profile and now My job feed is full of jobs that don't match my skill sets, that specialized profile is totally different from my job field and is similar to my other specialized profile So I don't know how that is affecting it. Furthermore, I have sorted the categories in my profile So they are not causing the problem also. Kindly help me fix my job feed.
