How can I know that my profile is approved?

[Michele K]

Hello,

i signed up to upwork and created a profile 3 days ago. When i wanted to see if the profile is approved, it still says: If your profile is approved, it will become to the public profile you’ll use to market your freelance business to clients (you can edit it after approval).

How long does it take to approve the profile? I read that it usually just take 12h to activate the profile..

Thanks for your help,

Michele

 The majority of profiles are rejected, so at least at this point yours is not rejected yet.

By the way: It is most unlikely that you are a transcriptor

You likely mean transcriptionist / transcriber.

Your profile would stand a better chance if it was complete - there is no portfolio, there is no relevant (or any) employment history and it is quite unclear what your translation / transcription experience actually is.

Speaking 2 or more languages doesn't make someone a translator any more than owning a scalpel makes someone a surgeon...

Hi there,

I know it's another thread about profile approval, but I just need to ask.

I haven't got any notification about profile acceptance or rejection, but I was able to make proposals.
Intuitively, I guess it's approved, but since I'm not quite sure about that, it would be nice if someone help me with some informations.

Thanks!

Hi,

I sent my application for review over 3 days ago. I still haven't gotten any update on the review. I've read it shouldn't take a lot over 24 hours. Is there a problem with my application?

Thanks in advance,
Lya

Hey, thanks for the reply!

I have clicked repeatedly on "Review application" after filling it out. I fill out every field. When I click, however, it merely refreshes the page and deletes my city, for some reason, but it does not show any error. What do I do if it doesn't even allow for me to send the application for review?

Regards,
Lya

When filling out my profile for Upwork, it asks for the live in which I live. I type it and pick it from the list on the drop down menu. I find it and click on it but it is still being rejected. Ideas?
