Hello

You are not the only one.

I  have also noticed something strange with my Job feed. It used to show me about 99 % of jobs that are suited for me but now the feed is mostly about other specialisations

Regarding the jobs, i also noticed a very low client reply rate.

There could be two reasons for this. One is because i took some time off and did not apply to any jobs for a while.

The second that is just a supposition is that i am no longer on a Freelancer Plus membership but i think this should not affect the job winning rate.

Hi Constantin, 

 

Could you please try adjusting your feed by running searches, applying filters, using the advanced search option, and saving your search to your feed? Feel free to check out this help article and this one too for more information on how you can perform searches, save them to your feed and improve the results you see.

Hi Joanne

 

Thanks for the answer. I will try to adjust these filters, its just that it used to work different and i noticed that something about the feed  has changed without me doing anything.

Neither of those have any effect at all. Your "job winning rate" depends on how attractive clients find your profile and your proposal.

I looked at your profile a little. I don't know how much your profession is in demand, but you should definitely change your photo(because of a bad photo, many will not even open a profile) and profile description. don't complain or beg for work. better write what you can proudly. Sorry to be rude, but honest. good luck
