Special Offer Jobs

[mattbrown29]

I'm trying to post this in the Top Rated Forum, but I think I can only post in "Events/Announcements".

Anyway, I'm new to being Top Rated. I was looking at the "Special Offer Jobs" and I noticed that all the jobs were around 28 days old. I'm a little worried about trying to get those jobs because it seems like those jobs are old jobs nobody wanted to do or the client didn't pick anyone. I don't want to waste my credits.

Hi Matt,

Please note that we removed one of the Top rated boards and kept the one you posted on, for the reasons Lena shared here. 

The special promotion associated with the job feed you're looking at ended 28 days ago (May 2), that's why you're not seeing new jobs there. That said, you can still benefit from the reduced service fee if hired in line with the requirements Lena shared here.

This is normal, but sometimes its worth applying for old jobs. I have received offers in jobs I applied nearly a month later after the client decided to look for freelancers.

Good luck!

Can Any one Tell Me More about it

Hi Md. Manirul,

Please check the information I shared in the comment above and follow the link to learn more about the promotion the special job feed is related to.

Are special jobs only the ones Upwork list on the feed or any job posted by new client for his first time gets that status? I brought up a new client yesterday, I gave him link to that zero fee contract with Upwork, but he simply ignored it and sent me an offer regularly, so now I don't have neither zero nor ten % fee. 

Why his job wasn't "special" but went default?

I read something about March 22 - May 2, but why do you still have that category on job feed then? Plus many jobs from 23 days ago?
