Account creation

[Jennifer L]

Hello.

I am new to up work and have started to create my profile just today. The problem I am facing currently is that even though I have filled out ALL of the things on the 'create profile' page, it still just stay on a 'create profile' page. How do I get it to get approved? Do I just need to save and wait for the approval?? I am not sure what to do next. Please help. Thanks.

+) I have figured out that my profile is currently in draft mode. So the question would be how do I complete my profile? Thank you.

Hey, I am trying to create an Upwork freelancer account, but I am unable to progress past the "create your profile" page. I have completed all the sections & the only option to move forward appears to be "review application" option,  but pressing it just reloads the page. Can anyone assist? Thanks.

It could be your profile pic. It has to be of you, not some child or avatar etc. Also, you only seem to have completed the skills section.

 Your profile has probably not been approved, it is very sparse...

No portfolio, no work history, barely any overview, educational history questionable (at best)
