I have a university degree and work experience in the relevant field. Upwork keeps rejecting my application and It is really interesting why I am not considered as good enough for them. They did not even bother to explain well why my application was rejected. They just sent me an email implying I do not have enough skills (I listed my skills on the website though?). They just create unnecessary obstacles for people who are willing to work.

Before joining Upwork, 8 months back, I never thought that skilled experts like me, who live in developing countries, can join the global workforce just because of where we are located.
Upwork has proved me wrong. By joining Upwork not only I have benefited from better earnings but also my service benefited clients all across the globe and that makes me a lot proud of myself and I'm thankful of Upwork for that.
Working remotely has become the new tradition, and Upwork has the best team and platform to ensure anyone from anywhere work everywhere!

I can tell Upwork invests heavily in technology, in customer & freelancer services, new functionalities, attracting major enterprises to their platform. For these, I am very grateful.
I am also grateful for the stability they offer and their exceptional customer (freelancer) support.
The fees are steep but it's understandable to a certain extent, given the above.
In respect to clients you might find on Upwork, there are two major categories: good people and bad people. I guess that is not surprising and it's a general rule of life :).
All in all, Upwork is a great platform to be a part of.

I had made Account many years ago but never used this platform yet, I was active past month at upwork and meanwhile I got a project from client, after completion of 1st task he awarded me with another job and I again completed that job in time, which really boosted me and I see the charms and attraction of upwork. Since then I shall be online most of the time and searching and waiting for job.
Overall experience at Upwork platform is Superb for me and I recommend people to join this platform to explore the new heights of your skills and experience as well as your knowledge.

Very great Platform for freelancers. Professional clients and they know what is their work requirement.

I have read all the Upwork job success ratio policies but didn't know only a small thing(Inactivity in the contract) will gonna have a great impact on job success score. I have done multiple projects and completed them successfully but I have some contracts which were not ended by the client and I also didn't end them because there were possibilities that the client would hire me again but that small factor of inactivity brings my job success score to 80% even I have done all jobs successfully with good reviews and that disappoints me very much.
Just a suggestion Upwork should remind the freelancers if something gonna leave a bad impact on the job success ratio like reminding freelancers for closing the contract in which there has been inactivity. Hopefully I will recover my job success score as I have got some new projects.

I have been on Upwork for almost 5 years and it has skyrocketed my business. I find the clients are ready to order, so it's just getting the right match. I have had excellent customer service as well and my questions get answered in a very timely manner. I appreciate the fact that their commission fees reduce when you have more business from the same client. Other sites do not have this.
