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 all,

This thread has been closed from further replies due to its size. Please know that you can check if your profile has been approved on your end by trying to submit a proposal. If you’re able to submit proposals, it means your profile was approved! 

 

We appreciate your participation in the Community and welcome you to continue the conversation here.

Thank you!

If there is no alert on the top of your screen, click a job post and check the 'Submit Proposal' button. If it's green and active for use, then you're accepted. Yet, I suggest you look at your spam posts and Upwork notifications.

Thank you very much for your fast response!

Hi Mairy,

 

I checked and it looks like your account has already been accepted. You should be able to send proposals to jobs on the general marketplace. Please, make sure you check resources in this post to help you get started.

 

Thank you.

Hello All,

 

I've signed up for UpWork on December 20 but I haven't got any feedback since then. I have already checked my spam folder but still nothing. What could be the problem?

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi Reka,

 

Just to confirm that your application haven't been submitted for a review. You will need to add your city in the "City" field and if you`re ready, please go to the bottom of the page and click on Review Application.
If you`re directed back to the same page, please try clearing your cache and cookies or logging in with another browser. Thank you.

Hello,

 

thanks for the quick reply. I have filled in the City name 5 times since my registration, I always resend the profile for review, but still nothing happens. I'm going to try your advice, I'll come back if it doesn't work. 

 

Thanks again,

Réka

Are you sure you actually submitted it for review?

Hi Sathish, 

 

I checked your account and I can see that you are yet to submit your profile for review. You need to click the review application button to make sure you did not miss any section of the profile creation process. Any portion that is highlighted in red needs to be filled in. Please review your application and update the missing fields to be able to submit your profile for review. In this case, please update the city field and resubmit your profile for review. 

 

Once you submit your profile, it takes at least 24 to 48-hours for the process to complete and you will be notified via email about your account.

I can see your profile, so it is public.

Can you bid on jobs?

 

The Hire button is there when I look at your profile from my client account so you probably have been approved. Unapproved freelancers tend to have a note that they can not be invited at that point.

Martina, whether the profile is public or private has not bearing on the approval status or vice versa  🙂
