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 Irina,

 

I checked and it doesn't look like you have submitted your profile for review yet. Please, log into your account on Upwork.com, review the information you added, then click Review Application button at the bottom and further proceed.

Thanks!

Hi Jo-An B,

Thanks. So, that means I shouldn't bid now, right? I have 60 Connects and can bid for a job. Will doing that waste my connects or they will be waiting till my profile gets approved?

Best,

Hi Bojan,

 

I clicked on 'Review Application' earlier and now as well. Got a msg "

If your profile is approved, it will become the public profile you’ll use to market your freelance business to clients (you can edit it after approval)."

 

Will you be able to check?

 

Thanks

Great! Thank you so much!! Do you know if most of the jobs are work from home opportunities or will they vary? Just trying to get a feel so I can make sure I’m utilizing my connects efficiently.
