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! Thank you for your response. 

I am sure that I made my application months ago. I didn't get a positive or negative response from Upwork. I just received an email about my account status is changed to a private account. Is it means my account is active? I made an application again today and I received a message says "We're sorry but something went wrong. Please try again or contact support." I cleared my cookies and cache and I tried to open Upwork on Firefox(I just downloaded Firefox). It didn't work again. What should I do now?

Approval and verification are two different things. You'll know when you need to verify when you get notification that you have to upload docs and do a video chat.

I'm able to view your profile.  Make sure you turn on email notifications.  Also, if you're able to submit proposals (check via Find Jobs --> Proposals -> Submitted Proposals) then you're good to go.

Hello,
I hope you are all doing well.
I can not understand if my account is approved or not. I submitted my profile for approval but did not get any notification or mail regarding approval. Also, I can not see any message regarding the resubmission or non-approved status of my profile as it used to show. So I want to know if my profile is approved?
Please help and thank you very much.

Hi

 

I had been rejected many times though I had followed the profile guidlines but still got rejected since last year.I am not sure is it because my work history is in different country and my new address and phone didnt matched? (I recently moved to a different country a year ago)

Can someone please help me out?

 

Thank you,

Arjean
