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

 

I've created my account some weeks ago but I'm still waiting for my profile to be approved.

 

Would I have any news about it please?

 

Thanks in advance

It looks like your profile has not been submitted for review, which is a good thing because it is a mess and needs some serious work to get approved and then win any jobs.

 

98% of all profiles are rejected and the vast majority of the ones which are accepted never earn a single Dollar.

I requested an account approval a few days ago and haven't got an email so far, but I can search and apply to the jobs. Is my profile approved or not?

Hello- I submitted my application a week ago and had to manually type in my address. I live in a condo complex,  though each unit has its own street address. GPS can't find us either usually, but I live here, I swear it! how can I get this resolved so I can actually have a working application? 

 

Thank you!

Hello, tried to join under the category Chemical engineering. I see many users in that area. The email I received only says we have many freelancers already, and that it is about finding opportunities on the platform. I see the Chem Eng category is already there and there are users. Is there no work in pharma/biopharma, R&D, process technology, academic publishing and writing, etc?

Hi Toufic,

 

Do you have another account that you have submitted for a review? I checked this account and your application haven't been reviewed as it hasn't been submitted for a review.

28.05.19 an email was sent the first time I tried to create a profile using a hotmail address. It is disappointing these justifications. Not specific at all.

Hi Upwork team, 

 

I submitted my profile for review, but there is no update regarding approval or not for days. Can I ask whether it is approved or not?
