Actually I just wanted to know if my account is approved ? Because there is no way to check if my account is approved ot not and even there is no way to open a support tickets under the help section. Let me know if I am wrong about the help and support section. Thanks

Hi. I would like to ask for help if you could check the status of my Upwork account. Was it approved or not? I haven't received any email regarding the approval and it doesn't show anywhere on my account. Thank you.

Hi,
I have more than 6 years of professional experience as a customer service agent for several french and international companies like SFR, Orange, PayPal, Amazon, C-discount, Cimpress...
As a physicist, I have experience in data research and manipulation with excel and I have experience with Zendesk products.
IS NOT A QUALIFIED PROFILE?
Then, I filled out my profile and added the payment method and I found several job offers that perfectly match with my profile.
Can you tell me more about the rejection of my request, please?
kind regards,

Even before the pandemic, there were way too many freelancers on Upwork. Now tens of thousands more try to get on the platform. There are not enough jobs.
