Job Success Rating

[r_skane]

Hello all.

Got my first feedback - 5 stars! 

Most of the jobs I have applied for ask for at least 90% job rating and when I applied, a little red exclamation point shows up next to this request because I didn't have a rating yet. But now that I have my first rating, that red exclamation is still showing. I have a feeling that more people would look at my proposal with my new rating showing.

I read that the job success score on the top of one's profile takes a while to update. I am assuming this is true for it registering on proposals?

I've already sent out quite a few proposals. At first, a bit willy nilly because I was new and didn't know what I was doing. I learn by diving in. Now that I know you can get suspended for not converting enough, I'm nervous to send out more proposals without that rating boost.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,

You'll need to have a certain amount of feedback to receive a Job Success Score. More than 90% of freelancers have a score after 5 projects. Since not all projects and clients are equal, the length of time will vary. Nearly all freelancers have scores after completing eight projects.

Thanks. I did a Google search but found different forum posts rather than this article. Thanks again.
