Can't Accept or Decline Invitation to Interview

[ashley-cornett]

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?

Hello Nikola, I'm also facing the same issue trying to accept an offer from a client on Upwork

Hi Clinton,

I have checked the offer that you're referring to and it looks like there may be an issue with your client’s account. There are many possible reasons this could occur, although we can’t share the specifics regarding your client’s account due to privacy concerns. One of our team members will be following up with your client directly about their account, however.

Hi, 

I'm trying to accept a job offer, but I am receiving the following error message:

"We can't complete your request now. Please try again later"

I have tried clearing my browser cache and cookies (Chrome) and also tried using another browser (Microsoft Edge) as well as from a different device (phone). Still getting the same error message on the following day.

I have also tried accepting the job offer directly from the Proposals section, not just using the link received in Messages.

Any advice on what could be the issue?

Thanks for your help,

Hicham

Hi Nikola, 
I'm currently experiencing the same issue. I've received an invitation to interview for a job that I would love to accept, but once I go to "respond" I can't see any button that would let me take any action. I'm attaching a screenshot for reference. 
Can you help me out? 

Thanks so much! 

Best,
Sonia

Hi Nikola,

I'm having the same issue. Actually, on desktop, I see no buttons to accept or decline (screenshot below). I do see them on the mobile app, however, after clicking "Submit a Proposal" I get no response. All other buttons continue to function (i.e. Cancel, Attach files, etc.)

Hi Jesse,

Thank you for your message. I see that the job post is already closed. That said, you can no longer respond to this job invitation.

Thank you,

Hi! I'm currently experiencing this. I'm trying to accept an offer from a client but every time I clicked the accept offer button "An error has occurred. Please try again later". I need help. Thanks

[PradeepH]

Hi Marla,

Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear about the issue while accepting an offer. Could you please try again after clearing Cookies and Cache on your browser? You can also try using a different browser. Feel free to message us if problems persist.

Thank you,

Pradeep

[anovamarla]

Hi! Did that already but nothing happens. Still the same. It still says "An error has occurred. Please try again later"

[PradeepH]

Thank you for confirming that. I'll have one of our customer support agents reach out to you directly and assist you further.

Thank you,

Pradeep

I'm having the same issue in Firefox. Cleared the cache and cookies but did not work either. Could you help me please? It is a cool job and I really would like to connect with the potential client.

Hi Guillermo,

I have received a response from the team and the have confirmed that the job post for the invitation you're referring to is no longer available since 22-June. If you go to Find Work > Proposals you'll see that there are no invites under the "Invitations to interview" section. This is the reason why you no longer have the option to accept the invite. I hope this clarifies.

[guidangelo]

As stated in the title of the post, I can't see any button to accept/decline an interview in a recent invitation for a job. How can I fix that? Clearing cache or cookies did not work.

Would you be so kind to help me with this?
