Hi all! I have two suggestions for the Upwork team that I think would be very benefitial for freelancers. The first, which is more specific to languages, is if it would be possible to include "Interpreter" or "Language Interpreter" as an occupation option for when you want to create a specialized profile. I have a general translator profile but wanted to create a specialized profile for interpretation, since this is becoming a very sought after skill in the platform, but haven't been able to because it doesn't have the option. I had already written about this once before, and someone told me they were gonna look into it, but this was over a year ago and still nothing has changed. The second, which would benefit everyone, is if it would be possible to include an option to add links to websites to the specific entries on our employment history. This because I've worked on several occasions with researchers and journalists who've produced articles and/or reports, etc., as a result of said work, however, these are not of my authorship and obviously I can't include them in my portfolio, but, they do provide a lot of very important information and context topotential clients, specially on the scope, subject and importance of the project, which I believe will definitely help our chances of finding more and better paid work. Thanks and let me know if these are issues that already have a solution, or if they're not, what you think.
