Can I choose which specialized profile to use on a proposal?

[chacon_lisa]

Hi Upworkers,

I just created a specialized profile, but I'm not sure whether my original one or the new one is being used on job proposals. At one point, I was allowed to select the profile I wanted to bid with, but the option hasn't re-appeared in subsequent proposals. I find it confusing that the profile process isn't consistent for all jobs. 

Thanks,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

If you don't see an option to select a profile to be sent with your proposal, then your general profile will be displayed with your proposal but the client will still be able to navigate to your Specialized profiles. We are continuing to develop and test improvements to specialized profiles and will notify the Community once we roll out a certain feature to all users.

Thank you!

Hey everybody, I just realised I can't chose the profile that I want (general or either of my 2 specialized) any more. Did anything change or did I change anything?

Hi Polyniki!

Yes, you should be able to choose which specialized profile to send with your proposal. I just checked with the team and an issue was found that has been resolved. From your message, it looks like you may have been affected by that glitch. I had the team review your account and it seems to be working on our end. When you have a moment, please let us know if you are able to choose a specialized profile with your proposal or still experiencing an issue.

Hi Hamza,

When you click on the job post, at the top you should see the "Propose with a Specialized profile" section (screenshot for reference). Do you see this section on your end? If not, could you please share the screenshot with us (you can take a screenshot using Desktop App shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + S).

Thank you!

 I can't able to choose specialized profile while sending a proposal. While sending proposal "it says general profile is selected to choose specialized profile Create Specialized profile". But I have already created 2 specialized profiles.

Hi M Asif,

I tried but wasn’t able to replicate the issue you’re describing. Could you please try using a different browser or the incognito mode of your current browser? You may also try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. Also note that we only officially support the latest two versions of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari.

Thank you,

Pradeep
