Top Rated eligible weeks

[pauledos]

Hey guys,

My stat is showing Top Rated eligible weeks 16 of 16 now. 

There have been no changes to my profile as of yet.

Is there anything I need to do at this point?

You need a Job Success Score of at least 90%

Ok, but how?

By completing more contracts with great outcomes 🙂

You need at least 4, up to 8 or 9 contracts (depending on the size etc) with feedback, from at least 2 different clients.

You grinned because you know it's going to be a long and difficult ride.

These days, securing a GIG on Upwork is difficult. Only top-rated freelancers are chosen by 95% of clients. It is quite exhausting.

I didn't grin. I winked because it's a pretty easy to find answer. And you already have several advantages over other freelancers who are relatively new. It would have been a easier if you had had feedback on those two contracts you closed.

Please tell me where you got that idea from? Source for that claim? 95%? Really?

You also, as has been pointed out, haven't earned anywhere near enough money. 

The requirements for Top rated status are already very, very low.

Petra,  I was only making a joke about you grinning. I wasn't quite serious.

Yeah, I know I haven't earned a lot 🙂 , I am still new here 🙂 

That statistic was derived from my own assumptions (nothing serious, I might be wrong), I had submitted multiple proposals and interviewed for jobs where I felt my skill sets were strong. I am surprised when I discover that the client has hired a different freelancer (Top Rated). I have also looked through the history of most of Upwork's top clients, and I noticed they have a history of hiring top-rated freelancers.

However, thank you for the information so far. Is it still possible to ask for feedback on completed/closed contracts?

Hi Bright,

Feedback can be left on a contract for 14 days after it has ended. You can learn more about this here.

Your 12-month earnings must be at least $1,000 to qualify for Top Rated.
