How can I know that my profile is approved?

Hello,

 

  1. I would like to know if my profile has been aprroved....?
  2. Can you not have a status marker in the profile information so new users know whether or not they have been approved?

Thx,

Melissa

Hi all,

This thread has been closed from further replies due to its size. Please know that you can check if your profile has been approved on your end by trying to submit a proposal. If you’re able to submit proposals, it means your profile was approved!

Hello,

 

I am having the same issue. I created a profile 1 day ago, and it still says to wait 12 hours for approval. I haven't received any word on what to do differently, or how I might improve my profile to ensure approval. Am I missing something? 

 

Thank you,

Zeeshan M. Yaqoob

Hi Zeeshan,

 

I'll follow up with the team about the status of your profile as well.

Still waiting for approval

 Hello Vladimir 
Can you pls give me some advices why my profile is over a week  under review

It says you should hear back within 12 hours. You will be able to submit proposals once your profile is approved.
But it has been over 120 hours

Your profile is very weak. You are billing yourself as both a writer and a translator, but you haven't offered any portfolio items in either area, and your overview is a mass of grammatical errors.

 

In addition, you're offering translation services in multiple languages (which is a red flag), but haven't even bothered to specify which languages you're offering.

 

How can Upwork possibly assess your profile and how your skills fit the marketplace when the only information you've given them is evidence (based on your overview) that you can't actually write clearly in English?

It's possible that your profile will not be approved until you stop showing your below average English test results. But that is the only big thing that I think would be holding your activation up.

 

Also, tacking on Data Entry to your profile seems a little strange. You appear to have a lot of solid skills (and a portfoliow, which is great). You might want to consider removing Data Entry from your Upwork Profile Title, at least.

Dear Pandora H

 

I have updated my profile on your advice.

 

Thanks

 So you did! That looks much better 🙂

 

Now, is there a team that is waiting for you to say "my profile is updated"? because at this point, you might want to reach out to them. If you have already done that, give it a day or two, because it's the weekend, and support takes a little longer on the weekends.

Same problem here!

Hi Phuong,

 

I checked your account and I can see that you are yet to submit your profile for review. You need to click the review application button to make sure you did not miss any section of the profile creation process. Any portion that is highlighted in red needs to be filled-in. Please review your application and update the missing fields to be able to submit your profile for review. In this case, please update the city field and resubmit your profile for review. 

 

Once you submit your profile, it takes at least 24 to 48-hours for the process to complete and you will be notified via email about your account.

 

Thank you.

Hi Sergey,

 

Upon checking, you need to rewrite your overview. In general, your overview should clearly describe your skills and expertise. The skills noted should be related to your title. Afterwards, please resubmit your profile for review. We wish you a positive outcome with this.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

I recently submitted my account for approval however I did not receive any notification/ email about my account’s approval.

Although, I am able to send proposals.

I just wanted to know how I could check the status of my account.
TIA

If you can send proposals, you're approved. It's something like, I can breathe but I'm not sure I'm alive.

Hi Hassan,

 

I checked and your account has already been accepted and you have already successfully sent a few proposals to jobs. Please, make sure you check resources in this post to help you get started.

 

Thank you!
