Hi im just new to upwork. My profile is stil under review for two weeks now. Any recommendations? Thanks

 

 

 

 

3 passed license •Certified Bookkeeper •Registered Cost Accountant •Certified Accouting Technician Government examination •Civil Service Eligible -Professional Company Certification •Advance Microsoft Excel-Certification

 

This is weak.

 

Also, you don't have a portfolio. Do polish your profile and try to make it interesting, enganging, and to-the-point. 

 

 

Thanks I appreciate it

My upwork account was activated. But when I go to job proposals and it says "Your profile is being reviewed. It must be approved before you can submit a proposal." What can i do for this situation ?

It's been a while, but I remember needing to submit a copy of my Driver's License (photo ID, a passport would also probably work) and I also needed to do a very quick Zoom call, with camera on, to verify that I am who I said I was. 

Here's what Upwork Legal policy says: 

1.6 IDENTITY AND LOCATION VERIFICATION

 

You will allow us to verify your identity, location, and business affiliations from time to time.
When you register for an Account and periodically thereafter, your Account will be subject to verification, including but not limited to validation against third-party databases or the verification of one or more official government or legal documents that confirm your identity, your location, and your ability to act on behalf of your business on Upwork. You authorize Upwork, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries necessary to validate your identity, your location, and confirm your ownership of your business, email address or financial accounts, subject to applicable law. When requested, you must timely provide us with complete information about yourself and your business, which includes providing official government or legal documents, and cooperating with other reasonable requests we make to verify your identity. During verification some Account features may be temporarily limited but will be restored if verification is successfully completed.

Thank you. Your post is helpful.
