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 there,

 

Seriously, thanks to any of you in the upwork community who happen to read this.

 

Just wondering if there is way to contact Upwork if there might be a bug in my Profile Application?

I went through the contact Upwork, tried the chat bot - which didn't assist me. Then I went to teh ask a question and was put onto another chatbot system which also didnt answer my question. And then I clicked on contact Upwork button at end of that stage and it gave me just this option of posting on the community boards.

 

I'm a bit baffled - any way to actually communicate with a person from Upwork? 😛

 

Here's the problem I faced:

 

- I've attempted to setup my account and my profile.
- Once I submitted I waited to hear from Upwork. I didn't hear back

- Today I received an email "Win more work by customizing your popular projects" mentioning that it had some draft projects ready for me to edit. When I clicked the link it took me to my profile page.

- However once I logged in to start setting myself up, it took me straight to the profile edit page. So naturally I resubmitted my profile for review. However, I never received any notification that my profile had been approved.

- I'd just like to know from the team if there is a bug preventing my profile from being reviewed or approved, as I had been waiting some time, and would like to start setting a up on the Upwork system.

 

Thanks!

 

Best regards,

 

Trevor

Hi,

 

I'd also like to know if my profile was approved, because I have connects and it seems I can send proposals.

 

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi,

My profile has been stuck with the following message for some weeks now.

 

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).

 

Submissions to "review application" simply bring me to the main page.

 

Cheers,

 

Andy

 

Your profile seems to be active: https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/_~011b966cb89e8928de/

 

Maybe delete your cookies or something?

Hi Andy,

 

I checked your account and can see that you have recently submitted it for the team's review. Please allow 24 to 48 hours for the review to be complete. Once you are all set, you should be able to start bidding for jobs in the Upwork marketplace.

 

Thank you.

Hi Mufakkir,

 

I checked your account and it looks like you have not yet submitted it for review. Kindly click the "Review Application" button and make sure that you fill in all the sections of your profile. Once everything is complete, you should see the option to submit it for review. The profile approval process takes up to 24 hours. You will be notified of your profile approval status once it is completed. Thank you!

Thank you. New browser works!

The message "3 things you need to know" shows up after I submit a proposal for approval. The proposal does not go through nor do I receive any further information What is this all about?

 

To anticipate a few questions you might ask me in this regard: I am new to Upwork, but my profile has been accepted and I have not been notified to submit ID verification yet.

Hi German,

 

I checked this for you and your account has already been accepted. You should be able to send proposals to jobs on the general marketplace. Could you please clear your cache and cookies or log in with another browser to check if you`re able to submit a proposal?

 

Let us know if the issue persists.

 

Thank you.

Hi, my account is on hold, may I know why it is taking so long to approve my account? Thank you.

Hi. Last Friday, I tried to create an account and I have completed the required fields in "Create your profile". However, there is no option for me to save it. I saw this one "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)." so I waited. But until now, there seem to be no changes. What should I do? Thanks
