Regarding Rising talent and top rated badge.

Greeting!

I have done 9 jobs till date, out of which 3 are in the process, also I have completed 20 hours of my hourly work, and earned $170.

 

When will I  get the batch of rising talent or top rated?

 

I  have seen some freelancer with less work hour and project/earning but has a rising talent badge..

 

What is the real eligibility criteria for achieving this?

 

Thank you!

You have to keep a jss above 90% for 13 out of 16 weeks. It's a rolling 16 weeks so read the docs to understand how it works. So if you have a jss over 90 this update then 1 positive week is added. Best to read the docs. You can google search them.

You need 13 weeks of eligibility for tr. you'll probably get a jss though.

and for rising talent?

You will get a jss so you won't get that.

but some are achieving that?

Right but you are getting a jss so you won't.

It has been 2 months on up work that means 8 weeks, now one more month to go. Right?

I have done 47 total Jobs and main 90% JSS and I have earned $2k+ and still, I didn't get any badge  

Hi Om Kumar,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. The Rising Talent status is assigned automatically when a freelancer meets the requirements listed here. This process is working as designed and we can't specify a reason why a freelancer isn't eligible for receiving the Rising Talent badge. Once you qualify, you should receive a notification letting you know.

 

As for earning Top Rated status, you need to maintain Rising Talent status or a Job Success Score (JSS) of at least 90% for at least 13 of the last 16 weeks. The Top Rated Eligible Weeks metric keeps track of that progress looking at the last 16 weeks as a rolling window. 

 

This means that, if you've accumulated a block of non-eligible weeks in the past, you'll need to wait for those weeks to fall out of the calculation. When your count doesn't change, it is generally because an eligible week is falling out of the calculation while another is being included. Once non-eligible weeks start falling out of the calculation you'll see an increase in the count. Check out this help article to find a helpful chart explaining this process.

I would agree with Jennifer that you are about to get a JSS, but I wouldn't hold my breath.... The two contracts where the clients marked you down likely resulted in you not getting a Rising Talent badge and may, depending on the private feedback that was left, also feature into your Job Success Score. Check later this afternoon, you may well have it by then.

 

To get to top rated you need 13 out of the last 16 weeks at 90% JSS or over, and have earned a minimum of $ 1000 over the past 12 months.

Hello Priyank,

 

If you want to be top rated you should raise your rates. You have 6 completed, 3 ongoing jobs. This is not fiver or sevener. Don't do this to yourself. Increase your rate at least to 15/hour and don't bid lower than that.

 

About your portfolio, (these are my personal opinions) remove logos (you can keep Vivid Venture if you like it too much.), remove Autocare Poster, remove all the watermarks. On the user interface design use a real phone image but not an iPhone 6 (use iPhone8 or X). In your title you used "an artist" you don't need the "an". Just write Artist.

 

With 10 jobs in your profile you can get more and better ones if your proposals are good.

 

 

I use the watermark to avoid others steal my design(). Do these effect while getting jobs?

It makes your work look ugly.

Thanks for the suggestion!

There you go, now you have a Job Success Score.

Yes, Thank you so much. Anything more for improvement?
