Profile link only shows old jobs

Hi!

My profile link only shows old jobs (2-3 years ago). My profile is always set to public, so why shouldn't newer jobs show up. This doesn't look good for new prospects or anyone clicking the link.

How can I change this?

Thank you!

They do show on your profile when clients are logged in.

Some don't show when clients are not logged in.

 

Basically, the public visibility of your contracts depends on how the job posts they originated from were set. Contracts from job posts that were set to "public" are visible to everyone, just as the job posts were.

 

Contracts that originated from job posts that were set to "Upwork users only" or "private" can't be shown publicly as that would violate the privacy choices made by the clients at the time of posting the jobs.


Be assured that all your history shows to people who are logged into their Upwork account and in general, Upwork clients ARE logged in their accounts while they look for freelancers.

Hi Petra,

I included my profile link in my work email, so many of the recipients won't be logged into Upwork. I did it as a marketing tool, but if it doesn't include a lot of my jobs, it's not good to include it. 

Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you,

Nancy

There is nothing to fix as such. It's working as designed. That's basically the way it has to be for privacy reasons.

That has absolutely nothing, in any way, at all to do with how someone receiving the link to a freelancer's profile sees a freelancer's work history, which is what Nancy is asking about.
