Add custom skills that is not available in list

[muhammadahsan133]

I am trying to add a new skill but it does not show in the skills section.

It told me to add suggestions, I did multiple times but unfortunately, it is not showing.

I create a ticket as well but till now no update from the Upwork side.

Please suggest.

Hi Muhammad,

When adding skills, be sure to use the correct spelling in English. If you are having trouble finding your skill among the options, try some synonyms. For example, "fax" instead of "facsimile." Or be a little less specific. For example, try "technical documentation" instead of "electronics manual creation." Please note we have purposefully excluded skills that you can't sell in our marketplace, such as "dog groomer" or "ninja."

If in case you're still having difficulties adding two more skills to your profile, feel free to communicate with our team through this support ticket for further assistance.

QA automation
I already created a ticket for that but still no reply from the support team.
