Hi Rabi,

Congrats on completing the Upwork Readiness test. Once you meet all the requirements for the Rising Talent program, you should receive the badge within 48 hours.

Thank you!

Hi, community!

I have just received my rising talent badge, I'm wondering about how long it will stay as I'm not available to work right now, I 'have a suspicion about disappearing it because I'm not working or seeking a job, and I set my status as not available (its a temporary status of course)

Hi Yahia,

Congratulations on receiving the Rising Talent badge. As long as you maintaining all the  Rising Talent status requirements it will be shown on your profile!

I got my Job Success Score, will I not be getting my Rising Talent Badge now?

Hello Anupam,

Since you have already earned a Job Success Score (JSS) on your profile, you can start working toward Top Rated status. You can refer to this Help Article to know more about our Top Rated program.

Thank you.

Hi,/

I had the rising talent badge till yesterday and It dissapeared.
I would like to know why it was removed.
Also, can youp please tel me how my JSS score is calculated?

Hi Marie,

I checked your account, and it looks like your Rising Talent badge has already been replaced by a Job Success Score. Once you have enough work history on Upwork, your Rising Talent status will automatically be replaced by a Job Success Score (JSS). Once you earn a Job Success Score, you can start working toward Top Rated status.

Hi!

I am new to Upwork and currently just submitting my first Proposals and trying to get hired. 

Have no JSS at the moment & no work history. 

Few days ago I received an email from Upwork team, to use the opportunity and become a Rising Talent freelancer awarded with the Rising Talent Badge, which will help me to increase my chances of getting hired & earn more. I was adviced to took the Upwork Readiness Test, which I took  and passed. 

Today I received the same e-mail offer again, despite already passing the test.

So please, what will the process be right now? Can I be awarded with this badge even before I get my first job, and will it help me somehow to ease my freelance journey? 

Thank you for your support.
