Good day,

I received an email that my profile is now approved, but in my settings, it shows that my profile is not yet approved. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Rafael, 

I checked your account with the team and would like to confirm that you are currently an exclusive member of your agency. As such, you will only be able to complete contracts under the agency you are affiliated with.

Let us know if you have further questions about your account.

hello,

I have tried applying to be a freelancer in video editing but it was declined. An email was to be sent with details why as said on my profile and yet, I have received no email. Please advice. Thank you.

Hello! I have been checking my application as an Architectural Design Specialist freelancer but no e-mail has come up yet. I’m not sure if it has been accepted or not. Kindly advice me, please.

Thank you very much!

Hi Hannah,

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.

Thank you.
