It's a bug. There is no such thing as job posts with no connects being required.

A previously known bug? It'll be too hilarious if these "zero connects" jobs are ones that are supposed to be boost-able.

Don't ever think there are jobs that don't require connects.. All job posts require connects to apply.

But I was told there would be cake with my free lunch.

Upwork will eventually fix it. Just remember that all proposals cost connects and you'll be fine...

Hi, I just found the job posts where no connects were required.

But when I applied for the job, it took 6 connects instantly! What kind of process is this you have started now!

Hi,

I am new to Upwork, Today I was looking at this job

It says no "No connects are required."

I am trying to send proposal but geting this error

"You don’t have enough Connects to submit this proposal."

Can you guys help me??

Hi.

I experienced this just now too (Sep 10, 2021). [A Google search led me to this thread.] First observed it on a job I was bidding for on PC. I had to save it and re-verify on mobile.
I was unsure whether it's a glitch or some perk of just being promoted to 'Rising Talent' barely hours earlier.
