New here :) and have a question

[sabcatty]

So I have (or I guess had) and active candidacy and was contacted by someone and did a interview question thing, but now it is showing "This job has been removed from Upwork, so we are no longer able to retrieve your proposal.".

What happened? did the person take the proposal down or job shut down by him or the site itself?

Hi Heidi, 

Welcome to Upwork and the Upwork Community! I'm Avery, an Upwork Community Moderator. 

It sounds like the team took down the job post because it may have violated the Upwork Terms of Service. When this happens, the job is no longer accessible in the Upwork marketplace, and we will not be able to retrieve the proposal you have sent for that job. I can look into this further if you'd like. 

Since you are new, I recommend that you read up on the articles listed here to help you stay safe on Upwork. Being that you are new, you may also want to check out the resources we have here to help you get started.

Under active proposal its showing"This job has been removed from Upwork, so we are no longer able to retrieve your proposal." If the client wants to contact me through telegram then what should I do?
