Hi Dee Ann Jo,

Hi Yedilzemen,

 

I checked and it looks like your account has already been accepted. You should be able to send proposals to jobs on the general marketplace. Please make sure you check the resources in this post to help you get started.

I signed up for Upwork over 2 days ago, maybe 3 or 4, and have been waiting for an email letting me know of my profile status.

 

However, I notice that I didn't even get a confirmation email that my profile had been submitted. I have  received one or two other emails about password changes so it's not radio silence, but I get the impression something's not right. How can I check on my account status? I can't bid on jobs without buying connects. 

 

Thanks

I'm also going through the same issue. My account is relatively new and I'm yet to get any connects assigned to me.

Hi Jacqueline and Anna,

 

I am sorry that you did not receive a confirmation email after account registration. Sometimes, the email provide can Upwork emails to a different folder in your email inbox. Could you please check your Spam/Junk folder on your email mailbox to check if the email notification was sent to that folder? 

 

Meanwhile, I checked both accounts and your accounts are already been accepted. You should be able to send proposals to jobs on the general marketplace. Please make sure you check the resources in this post to help you get started.

If you do not receive your Connects after that time, you may reach out to us again so we can assist you further. If you'd like to access these 50 Connects faster, you can add a billing method. Once we verify your billing details, your Connects will appear in your Upwork account. Learn more about Connects here.

Its been about 48hrs since I created my account on Upwork but yet I haven't gotten any feedback as regards approval. 

 

Is this the new policy? Or was my profile rejected?
