Upwork力图打造一个规范严谨的工作平台,并且保证每一个在平台工作的自由职业者和客户都有优质的体验,所以不断提高准入门槛。
现在加入Upwork并不是一件容易的事情。自从今年以来,Upwork一方面收紧了 Freelancer 新用户的注册,而且 采用系统自动甄别关键字 和 人工相结合的方式 进行审核,简历完整度不足100%、简历上各模块内容没有用心填写、 一般是无法通过审核;另外 需求过剩的技能方向也限制注册。
以下截图是一个典型的注册Upwork被拒绝的邮件:
另外 简历提交通过后 或者在 接到单子后 需要进行 个人视频验证,具体就是Upwork工作人员要确认您注册的信息和实际要相符,特别是确认本人和头像为同一人,另外客服还会暂时锁定简历,并就简历上的内容进行询问确认,请注意一定要记住简历上的一些关键信息,视频验证回答错误可能会直接封号。
另外如果提交过多的 Proposal 而拿不到工作或者只有很少的收入也会被封号:
Upwork官方对于限制注册用户数量解释如下:
According to CEO Stephane Kasriel, Upwork gets 10,000 new signups EVERY DAY. As the site grows more popular, they\'re also becoming more selective with who can apply for jobs. Lately, I’ve been getting an increasing number of emails from readers who are having a hard time getting their profile approved. I know this can be frustrating. So today, I’m going to share the proven strategies I’ve tested behind the scenes to increase your profile\'s chances of being approved by Upwork. Before we dive in, it’s important to keep a few things in mind:
1. Upwork’s rejection policy is a GOOD thing. Because it\'s the best freelancing site in the world, a LOT of people want to make an account. Having a screening process means that when your profile does get approved, you’ll face far less competition and your account will be even more valuable. >
2. When Upwork rejects a profile, it’s not happening randomly or arbitrarily. When a client searches for freelancers, Upwork uses an algorithm based on a specific set of criteria to determine who shows up, and in what order. While the account approval process may have a human component as well, it’s likely that the first “line of defense” is an algorithm similar to what they use to deliver up search results. If you take time to think about WHAT Upwork is looking for and WHY, you can take steps to significantly increase your chance of being approved. (These steps will also give you a better shot at being hired and quickly boosting your freelance career.)3. If Upwork rejects your profile, it’s not the end. Even if you don’t get approved, you can always make some changes and resubmit your profile. There’s no reason to stop trying if you’re rejected the first (or second, or third) time.
大致的意思就是,Upwork现在每天有约有10000个注册新账号的申请,所以Upwork进一步提高了门槛:
1,这其实是一个好事情,因为这意味着不是随便一个谁都可以进来混,也就是说一旦你的账号得到批准,将会面临更少的竞争,同时你的账号也更有价值;
2,另外为什么你的账号没有通过申请,你需要 做好对Upwork平台的调研,详细了解目标客户的需求、做好对自身实力的评估,Upwork的意思很明确:请先搞清楚你是Upwork需要的人才吗?
3,第一次简历申请被拒绝不是世界末日!请做针对性修改,再次申请。上面的解释也提到:被拒绝了请修改后再提交,如果一直被拒绝?一直提交到你最走心最有诚意的那一次。(Upwork家园群内有小伙伴提交近30次才通过了批准)。

2,创建内容详实的简历: Upwork建议简历上面的每一项都认真填写,重点突出技能优势,也就是说尽量把简历完成度达到100%,列举自己出彩的项目经历,并设置小时费率,另外小时费率也可以随时调整。
3,设置提现方式:Upwork官方支持五种提现方式,根据以往的经验和中国的国情,我们建议设置两种提现方式。分别是 从Upwork直接电汇到国内银行账户(Upwork余额在$2500以上) 和 从Upwork提现到 Payoneer 中转,再提现到国内银行账户($2500以下) ,这样的话最省手续费也最方便快捷。
4,使用 Upwork Message: Upwork提供非常强大的沟通工具,可以与客户在线语音聊天,视频面试,做面试笔记,附件上传保存,聊天群组创建等,方便全世界的在线工作者协同工作。Upwork也建议所有信息在平台沟通,也方便维权保留证据。私自给客户留联系方式也是禁止的行为。
