Hi Uros,
Please be reminded that users are only allowed to have one main profile and having multiple accounts is a violation of Upwork's TOS. We know that you may have more than one skill to offer your prospective clients. That’s why we developed Specialized Profiles.
With a specialized profile, you can tailor your unique skills to your audience on Upwork and create variations of your profile that showcase your experience within specific categories. For example, you can separate the work you've done as a mobile game developer from your work as a translator or graphic designer.
By having a Specialized profile, your profile will contain an indicator that you have other specialized profiles, and the client will have the option to switch between those versions when viewing your profile (similar to how you switch between versions when editing your profile).
You can delete your Specialized Profile from Settings > Profile Settings. Please keep in mind, that if you only have one specialized profile, you will not see the option to delete or unpublish it. But you can always edit the information for accuracy and to reflect your current experience and skills!

You can only create two, and that is almost invariably a good thing, especially when you are first starting out.
Clients generally want specialists, not "jack of all trades"
If you are offering additional specializations, you could mention them on your general profile, but bear in mind the "jack of all trades" thing 😉

Hi everyone, I recently deleted a speciality profile but it still comes up first whenever I check 'public view'. How do ensure it is deleted as I don't provide this service anymore? Thank you.

Hi Wendy,
I would like to confirm that this is by design, and you will not be able to delete your specialized profile. Thank you.

Hi Upwork Community.
Hope you all are safe and doing well.
The question is that my specialized profile is showing to the public and showing while searching. BUT my general profile is not showing to the public nor can be found while searching.
I want when anyone searches me on Upwork. My general profile should be shown. https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/majidtaufiq1

I want to delete my specialized profile and just have my general one. I can't find any place on my settings that gives an option to delete the specialized profile?

Hi Louise,
If you only have one specialized profile, you will not see the option to delete or unpublish it. You can always edit the information for accuracy!

Hi Hafeez,
I checked your account and it looks like you already have a Specialized Profile draft. If you continue to experience any issues please let us know!

Hello there,
I have a few questions about the specialized profile that I would appreciate if you answered.
1. I want to have a specialized profile on different job categories, for example, one on Translating, the other on SEO. Can clients from SEO see my Customer reviews from translation profiles?
2. Can anyone who visits my profile see my all specialized profiles?
3. If I make the profiles private, can people who search for talents see find my profile?
Thank you for your reply

Hi Sara,
I understand that you have some questions about how specialized profiles work. Please check below for answers to your questions:
1. You can create up to two specialized profiles.
2. Your profile will contain an indicator that you have other specialized profiles, and the client will have the option to switch between those versions when viewing your profile (similar to how you switch between versions when editing your profile).
3. If you set your profile visibility to private, the only information that will be available publicly is your photo, city, and country.

I have created a speacialized profile. I try to add a Turkish language under Skills & Expertise but I can't. When I click on See More nothing happens. Only 4 languages are selectable as seen on the screeshot in the attachment.
Feb 10, 2022 06:01:59 AM by Andrea G
Hi Zeynep,
Could you please check if clicking on the "see more" button shows the language you're looking for?
If not, please keep in mind you can add this in the Language section of your profile.

I had made two specialized profiles and was able to remove one but not able to remove the last specialized profile. I have decided to work on single type of projects and hence need no specialized profile. Is there any solution for this?
Feb 10, 2022 05:55:35 AM by Andrea G
Hi Darshan,
If you only have one specialized profile, you will not see the option to delete or unpublish it. But you can always edit the information for accuracy and to reflect your current experience and skills.

Hi Andrea,
I would like to unpublish one of my specialized profiles. How can I do so? The only options listed are to edit or delete it.
Thanks,
Yolanda
