Hi Matthew,

Hi, Upwork community,

This is Prosanta Mondal a proud freelancer of Upwork. I'm working on this platform about 8 to 10 months. I always try to abide by Upwork's terms and conditions.

But I didn't get rising talent badge yet so there are some questions rising in my mind.

I need to answer some of my questions which are:

1: Why I'm not getting Rising talent Badge

2: Check my profile weather I use any words , images, conversations, and Pre-packaged projects

that go against Upwork T & C.

3. would you please calculate, from next week what are the requirements I need to become a top Rated freelancer?

Note: Please check the overall of my account health. 

Thank you so much.

Hi Jeanne, 

Below I am sharing the Upwork criteria to get a Rising Talent badge:

• Pass the Upwork Readiness Test
• Complete projects on time and as promised to clients
• Maintain a 100% complete profile with accurate skills and genuine work
• Keep your availability status up-to-date
• Regularly submit proposals to projects that match your skill set
• Adhere to the Upwork Terms of Service
• Have been active in the past 90 days or joined in the past 30 days
• Your account should not have any recent account holds

As you have violated the upwork Terms of service by creating two accounts knowingly or unknowingly and your account has on hold so for the time being you are not eligible for the Rising talent badge.

Why would I not have a rising talent badge if I have met all the following requirements?

• Pass the Upwork Readiness Test
• Complete projects on time and as promised to clients
• Maintain a 100% complete profile with accurate skills and genuine work
• Keep your availability status up-to-date
• Regularly submit proposals to projects that match your skill set
• Adhere to the Upwork Terms of Service
• Have been active in the past 90 days or joined in the past 30 days

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi Doug,

You will be notified that the badge has been added to your profile once you qualify. This process is automatic, and we can't share why a freelancer won't have a Rising Talent badge on their profile.

Hi Joanne-

I appreciate your response but it does not really answer my question.  If the process is automatic then there should be a know period of time the process takes to complete. Also, not knowing why a Rising Talent Badge is not issued would seem to lessen confidence in said process.

I am trying to make my profile complete and attractive for potential clients.  In doing so I found the one thing prohibiting me from have the Rising Talent Badge was the fact that I had not completed the UpWork readyness test.  So I took the test and passed.  If the platform knows I did not that the test, it should also know when I did take and pass the test.  

Thanks again for your reponse.  I hope to have the badge sooner rather than later.

Hi Doug,

We look at a variety of factors when determining whether to award Rising Talent status. In addition to client feedback, the overall strength of your profile upon submission, including prior experience and skills and your educational background, we also look at the opportunities available in the market. As such, Rising Talent status will not be available to all users.

I hope this helps.

Hi Upwork Members!

I have received a Welcome message when I logged in today about The Rising Talent Program.

But didn't get an email about it, then when I checked to my profile, I have seen my Rising Talent Badge.

So much happy with it. Thank you, Upwork.

Now my question s that, When will I receive 30 free connects?

and how much time it will take to apply this badge to my account?

Because when I wanted to submit a job, which requires "Includes Rising Talent" it was showing Red error as same as before.

please help me with this question.

Thanks.

Hi Blend,

There are many factors that contribute to a Rising Talent badge. This includes client feedback, the overall strength of your profile, prior experience and skills, your educational background, and the opportunities available in the market. Once qualified you will receive an email notification.

 No. "Rising Talent" is only for people who do not have a JSS yet. You do.

 If you had qualified for it, you would have got it automatically.  You can't get it now because you have a JSS.

Now you need to work on improving your poor JSS instead.

[#26]

Can you give me tips to improve JSS?

and is it true that low jss will make account suspended?
