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!

An Upwork employee confirmed on Thursday that your profile is approved.

There are tens of thousands of profiles in your category. Your profile can be searched, and "can" be found, but you won't appear very high in the search results most of the time.

Being able to see a profile does not mean it's approved. Profiles that have not been approved can still be seen.

Hi there! I submitted my profile application more than a month ago. Since than I have not received niether email nor notification for the status of my application (profile approved/declined). Should I just wait more or there is a problem with my application maybe? Thanks!

Most of the time, if the client doesn't reply in 24 hours, they won't reply at all. Sometimes they do, but don't count on that. Just move on to another job application.

Hi Viacheslav! Thank you! But I am talking about an upwork join application - my upwork account is not approved yet!

ah, sorry.
I do see your profile, so it has been approved.

Anything I can see after Login is the Create profile page and nothing more. Even when I go to View profile I get redirected to the Create profile view. I uploaded a screenshot here.

Did you enter all information? I don't see your city in the profile. What about the tax infomation?

You also could reach out to the support.

Hi Aisha,

 

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.

Hi all,

 

I am very new to this. My application to join as a freelancer was declined so I resubmitted now. After doing this I submitted a proposal for a job and it went through.

 

I'm confused - can't I only submit proposals once my application is accepted? Otherwise, what does being accepted enable one to do?

Hi Cara,

 

I checked your account, and I can confirm that it has bee accepted.

How will I know if my account has been approved? It's been 48 hours since I activated my account, the last email says it will only take 12 hours for me to know if it's approved or denied, but I didn't get any response. Thanks!

After I resubmit my account for verification, I received 20 free connects and I can do proposals as well. I'm just wondering if my account was already approved. I went through my email but there's no message about the approval of my account.

Hi there!

I just want to know if my account is already verified because my friend told me that I should receive an email about it. He asked me to try to submit a proposal but I receive an error that I do not meet all the client's preferred qualifications.

I hope that you can help me with my concern. Thank you so much.

Stay safe and healthy. God bless you all.

 

Kind regards,

Nardalisa Donaire

Don't judge anything based on whether or not you received an email message.

 

Upwoek doesn't necessarily send email messages for everything. And if Upwork DOES send an email message, that does not necessarily mean you will receive the message. Or that you will notice it.

Hi Nardalisa,

Welcome to UpWork! You'll get a verification badge (a blue tick beside your name) once your profile is verified by UpWork team and for that, they will reach out to you on your associated email address with complete instructions. However, there's no timeline for when you'll hear from the UpWork team, it's done in batches and I assume that you should hear soon if your profile remains active i.e. you're still sending out proposals, responding to invitations and accepting jobs.

If you're seeing "I do not meet all the client's preferred qualifications.", make sure that you meet all the criterias put by the client to apply for the particular job. Also make sure that your profile is complete and meets all guidelines mentioned by UpWork. This link might be helpful: https://www.upwork.com/hiring/for-freelancers/enhance-your-profile-for-greater-success/

If you're still not able to apply to jobs, I'd suggest reaching out to the UpWork support team.

I hope that helps, happy UpWorking!

Best,
Tauqueer H.

1. Verified and approved are two different things.

2. She is already able to apply to jobs.
