Can't Accept or Decline Invitation to Interview

I recently received an Invitation to interview for a job. I reviewed the job description and message from client, and then went to respond accordingly, only to find that the button to do so is missing.

 

Sometimes if I don't respond in time and they've chosen someone else there will be a "this job is now closed" message in place of the button but that's not there either. I was considering declining the job anyway so I just left it and figured it would resolve itself, but after a couple days it's still like this, and I'm worried it's going to negatively impact my response time rate that other clients see.

I've checked on Safari, Chrome, and mobile, and it's the same on all of them. No button to accept or decline. Is there something I can do to remedy this, or is this a bug on Upwork's end?

Hi Evegnii,

 

Can you please clarify if you're trying to accept the offer by using the link in Messages from Upwork mobile app? Please try accepting the offer from a computer from the Proposals page and let us know if you're still seeing the error.

Hi Yaxa,

 

Thank you for reaching out. I checked on the invitation and it looks like you already declined it.

 

As for the amount in escrow, can you please go to this page and check if you can find the job there? Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi, I am having the exact same issue. I changed browsers, cleared the cache, and tried different devices as well.

Hi Shela,

 

I checked and would like to clarify that the job post for the invitation you're referring to is no longer available. If you go to Find Work > Proposals you'll see that there are no invites under the "Invitations to interview" section.

You may still see the notification from when you were invited but since then the client has either hired another freelancer or decided they would not be hiring and closed the job post.

You can still see your proposal on this page

For anyone who also encounters this issue, it looks like it was just a glitch and the job was in fact closed. Thank you Upwork team for looking into this and contacting me!

Hello Pradeep,

My name is Lisa. I am facing this same issue. I was sent an invitation to interview (that I want to decline) but there is no button to decline (or accept). Additionally, there is no message in my 'messages' section as there normally is for an invitation. 

This is the link to the job:

**Edited for Community Guidelines**

Please let me know if you need a link to the page with the actual invite that is missing the decline button.

I have a jpg and png screenshot of the page that will not attach to this message.  I am getting a bold red banner with a message on this page that says: "The file type (.jpg) is not supported. Valid file types are: .jpg, .gif, .pdf, .pptx, .wmv, .png."

Hi Nicola,

Thank you for getting back to me about this. If the job was closed, I don't know why I got an email notification about the invite. The client must have closed the job almost immediately. 

I appreciate you taking the time to give me clarity on this.  : )

 

Best wishes, 

Lisa
