Hi Uros,
Please be reminded that users are only allowed to have one main profile and having multiple accounts is a violation of Upwork's TOS. We know that you may have more than one skill to offer your prospective clients. That’s why we developed Specialized Profiles.
With a specialized profile, you can tailor your unique skills to your audience on Upwork and create variations of your profile that showcase your experience within specific categories. For example, you can separate the work you've done as a mobile game developer from your work as a translator or graphic designer.
By having a Specialized profile, your profile will contain an indicator that you have other specialized profiles, and the client will have the option to switch between those versions when viewing your profile (similar to how you switch between versions when editing your profile).
You can delete your Specialized Profile from Settings > Profile Settings. Please keep in mind, that if you only have one specialized profile, you will not see the option to delete or unpublish it. But you can always edit the information for accuracy and to reflect your current experience and skills!

Hi Zakria,
I checked and I can only see one Specialized Profile on my end, which is the same that's accessible under your Profile Settings page. Can you try clearing your cache and cookies, or use a different browser, and check again?

Hi fellows,
I have a question on my mind. Hope if you are in this case, you could share me some tips.
My professional is about field A and I created a profile for it. But it doesnt offer many chances on Upwork and I wanted to give me a chance with another job.
Should I delete my current profile and make a new one of job title in field B? Or I use my profile with including skills I have and telling all jobs I want to do?
Best,
Thanh

Hi everyone, as we all know the policy of Upwork is that we cannot have more than one Upwork profile or account.
but my question is very important, what can I do when I have 3 different types of skills but I have only one Upwork profile?
For example, I can say that I am
1. An Expert WordPress Developer.
2. A Good Advocate.
3. i am a good psycholgist.
but when I visit my profile and I find work I only saw the work relating to one primary profile.
what other option can I choose?
Oct 6, 2022 10:06:23 PM by Kashif M
Yes, Upwork support Specialized profiles. You can create profiles according to your skills. For more information, please visit this link https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/115013750068-Create-a-Specialized-Profile

Hello. I am wondering if there is a way to make my specialized profile into my main/general profile? Initially I was doing a wide range of work related to communications (my main profile) and was doing photo retouching on the side via a specialized profile, but now my work is almost entirely photo retouching and I would prefer to make that my main profile and not have any specialized profile. Any idea how to do this?
Oct 30, 2022 10:44:55 AM by Luiggi R
Hi Farrah,
While there's currently no way of making your Specialized Profile your main one, by design, your general profile showcases all of your work, including what you already have in your Specialized Profile. You can check this help article to learn more.

Hi Upworkers! Wishing Christmas to everyone. I'm new to the Community but found it to be very egnaging and insightful.
I'm trying to understand the relevancy and dynamics of Specialized profiles.
- How Important it is to keep a specialized profile that is relevant to your main skill set? Since, we can only add Employment History that is focusing towards 1-Skill. For Example, I have been a Mobile App Developer but I have performed Extensive Quality Assurance in all my projects due to which I have a Specialized Profile for both. However, despite being Top-Rated, I feel that due to my focus on Mobile App Development my skill of Quality Assurance is suffering as a specialized profile as it's a secondary skill that I have.
Interested to know, what experts has to say on this.
Thanks!

Hi Ahmad Bilal,
A general profile shows all the projects you have worked on in Upwork. We designed this type of profile to show all the skills you offer to your potential clients. On the other hand, a specialized profile only shows the work history for the projects you choose to feature. It gives you the opportunity to describe one skill or service in more detail. On each specialized profile you’ll set:
With a specialized profile, you can tailor your unique skills to your audience on Upwork and create variations of your profile that showcase your experience within specific categories.

Hi Arjay,
Thank you for the reply and usefull information. I have an additional question regarding my job success score, I have been innactive for 2+ years and I have now decided to resume and restart my journey trough Upwork, since I was innactive my job success score droped, is there a way I can wipe the slate clean or how do I get this up and running again...
Jan 28, 2023 04:07:49 PM by Luiggi R
Hi Uros,
I'm afraid that's not something that can be done. However, please know that your Job Success score is updated every two weeks, and it’s important to note any movement in this score (either up or down) reflects both recent activity and activity over a longer period of time. Because we look at trends over a 24-month period, you can see your score change, even without recently closed contracts, due to past jobs slipping out of the 24-month window.
In your case, you don't currently have a score because there aren't enough jobs within that 24-month period to calculate one. Feel free to check out this help article to learn more.

If I create a specialized profile will my general profile's job success score and reviews also show on the specialized profile?
Apr 15, 2023 03:25:22 AM by Annie Jane B
Hi Ahad,
Thank you for reaching out. The JSS applies to your entire account but as for the reviews, they are specific to each specialized profile.
Apr 15, 2023 10:30:44 PM by Ahad J
Thanks, Annie Jane
I have another query. How about my earnings, will it show on my specialize profile?
Apr 16, 2023 08:54:29 AM by Pradeep H
Hi Ahad,
Yes, your earnings for all related jobs will appear on your Specialized profile as well.
Thank you,

How can I access specialised profiles? I've looked, but can't seem to find the option anywhere.

I created a specialized profile with the title "WordPress Developer & WP Design Expert" and a specialty "Web Design".
Now it is saved as a draft and there is no publish option. How can I publish it?
Feb 3, 2023 09:36:43 AM by William T C
Mehboob,
To publish your specialized profile, you'll need to click on the 'Create Profile' button in the upper right corner of the page. After filling out all required fields, scroll down and click 'Save Draft'. You will then be able to select 'Publish Profile' in the left column on the same page. Once published, your profile will appear live on Upwork and potential clients will now be able to view it. Let me know if that worked. Have a great day!
Feb 3, 2023 12:00:37 PM by Mehboob A
Hey William, Thanks for your response but I am unable to find the create profile button.
Feb 3, 2023 01:23:27 PM by Arjay M
Hi Mehboob,
I took a closer look at your account and it looks like 2 out of 2 specialized profile has been published. You have the option to Add specialized profile in the profile editor (Find Work › Profile). To see a preview of how your specialized profile will look to clients, select View. You may want to check this help article for more details.

Whenever I try to add/edit the skills & expertise on my specialized profile, the modal is stuck on loading. I have tried this on various browsers and even the mobile app and the same thing happens.
