Top Rated Badge Lost Due To 1 Year Off Upwork

[mattyturn95]

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well.

I recently returned from a year of traveling and noticed that my Top Rated badge is no longer on my profile. I learned that this is because I haven't earned over $1,000 to qualify for the badge again. However, I still have my 100% success rate badge.

My question is: How will this impact my job prospects when I send out applications? Will it take some time for people to recognize the potential in my proposals without the Top Rated badge?

And is there anything I can do in the meantime to give me a better chance of getting new jobs?

I'd greatly appreciate any feedback and advice.

Thank you,
Matthew
