Hi Guys. So on the issue of profile rejection, I don't know what's up with Upwork.

I met a dude who saw me sending a proposal on Upwork, last week. The thing is, he was sitting right behind me in a lecture theatre, so he could get a clear view of what I was doing. At that very point, he tried opening a writer's account on Upwork, verified his mail, wrote his profile overview and submitted it for approval ALL ON HIS PHONE.

He got stuck at a point because some aspects of the site was hidden. (You know, Upwork sometimes isn't fully functional when using android).
At that point, he had to ask me for help and I was like 'What!, you really did all this within like what? an hour of seeing the site on someone
else's laptop?).

Okay, fast forward. I saw him two days later in the same lecture theatre and he told me his profile has been approved shocked

I just got thinking of all the stress I went through to get my profile approved last year and well.....let me just let bygones be bygones.

Now, I just saw him some minutes ago, and I had a quick chat to know what exactly he did, so maybe you guys can try it out.

Here's what he said:

- He started the account opening process with the Opera Mini Browser (On his phone).
- He completed his profile description at that point.
- Filled in all the other necessary requirements.
- Submitted, and them hours later GBAM.

You'd see there really is no big expose to it. Pretty much the same basic account opening process.

So what exactly happened?

I really can't say. But, you could give it a try with a fresh account.

I should also mention he opened the account on a Saturday, between 7 and 9 PM. I don't know how relevant the day and time is to getting approved. And, now that I remember, I also got my profile approved on a Saturday.

Now, don't go getting me wrong, I am not saying profiles get approved over the weekend. I am just trying to cover all bases.

And, lastly, he didn't even have a 100% complete profile.

P.S I actually saw his approved account, so there was no bullshitting involved or anything.

All the best!

Wow. I think is because opera is a proxy server. This means that it doesn't use a person's real location. So, at that point, his opera wasn't using a Nigerian location. That's possibly why he got approved. It's like Upwork tells their bot to automatically disqualify Nigerians... I've gotten my profile approved through other means, anyone who hasn't should try this method and let's see.

No matter how they try to position it, setting the bar incredibly high for Nigerians is bare-faced discrimination. Not just discrimination based on nationality but also racial discrimination. I wonder why a company would look at the mass of the largest collection of black people in the world (170 million strong), and decide that no good can come out of the country.

Bloody racists!!! They have no right!!! As if their success as white people wasn't because they enslaved black people and exploited our resources through colonialism. Useless people.

I'll probably send this to their support team so they'll know how racists they are!!! angry angry angry angry angry angry

They really have no right man. That is the same way my legitimate (I mean totally legitimate, without any shady deals whatsoever or IP shadiness) got deleted from Fiverr with the flimsy excuse of a double account (which I cannot and will not have, because I am legit and don't have time for all that nonsense).

I sent the Idiots mails upon mails and they kept their stand without remorse. I just grew tired of the stupidity and left the money and their poor style with them and left fiverr altogether.

I want to believe upwork drink a different medicine and are not as racist as the rest are. So I am patiently waiting for them to accept my account. Here goes my 3rd try without success.

Methinks you're being paranoid. I don't think anyone has singled out Nigerians to be discriminated against but rather, the site is wisely trying to manage the population of freelancers it has to make the site a reasonable workplace for both lancers and clients. I for one registered with my full Nigerian details about a year ago and got approved with zero fuss. But times have changed and there has to be a workable balance. I have a friend who's a Chartered Accountant living in Canada that tried to register and got rejected. You just have to look at Freelancer.com to understand what I mean. Within two minutes of making a job post on Freelancer, you'd have at the very least, 50 (I'm not exaggerating) applications from mostly Indians and Pakistani's. It's not just the overwhelming number of applications but the fact that 97% of the applications will come from India and Pakistan and it's stifling talent from lesser populated regions. I bet if Upwork were to be left open, we'd stand no chance against the Indians and Pakistanis who are undoubtedly skilled in various fields. Quora is currently facing similar problems with Indians and Indian topics overwhelmingly dominating discussions as a result of what can best be described as patriotic Upvotes. I believe the need to strike a balance between the number of job seekers and ensuring a healthy spread of applicants is what's behind Upwork's now more frequent rejections. If you can't find your way in, you just need to find a way to deal with it. This chant of racism is becoming stale.

I cannot contend this. The crowd in this world of skills is becoming so massive. One of the reasons why freelancer. com is a very bad choice.

But Olaray has a point.

Forget this stuff you are talking. What is more racist than going to get work in Nigeria and being told "you are not an indigene of this place so you cannot be employed here?"

Or being told you cannot gain admission to a university because you are not an indigene? Or going to the National Emergency Management Agency headquarters and the official language in that place is Hausa? In a federal parastatal that is to respect Federal Character?

There is no racism you will experience elsewhere that is worse than the INDIGENOUS RACISM as practiced right here in Nigeria. So stop whining about Upwork and their people. There was a time Nigerians were not even allowed to register a profile there, talk less of getting it approved.

Racism is everywhere. It is here in Naija and every other place. Deal with it.

Bro, any form of racism is totally messed up. And whenever we can cry out against it, we should.

I think it's easier for you "insiders" to easily scoff at an outsider's lament about discrimination. After all, you're already enjoying the proceeds. The fact that there is discrimination everywhere doesn't negate the fact that it is morally unjustifiable.

I swear

I actually have both Nigerian and US account activated on upwork.
This is the secret of upwork I am giving freely, because I have also learn alot on this platform.
Upwork requires genuinty, starting from your IP location, to ur description, let your description be perfect with no Grammer error or wotever. Fill all required fileds appropriately.
Take the test even while waiting apporoval; it shows you are serious.
Don't forget your profile pix give it the best.

Nice words, they sound good. But even this doesn't work anymore.
