So... I haven't applied to anything since I got Rising Talent status. Made a few minor tweaks to my profile, but nothing big. Just added a few new portfolio pieces. I log in once a day to check for messages and make sure there's nothing new to reply to. A couple things:
1. Ever since I stopped applying to gigs I also stopped getting invitations.
Apparently I'm not the only one this is happening to either. At first I thought Rising Talent caused me to not get invites, but now the general consensus seems to be that not applying also equals not getting promoted by Upwork. Food for thought for anyone trying to get contacted. You might wanna apply to gigs.
2. Somehow I did nothing and got this...
It's been like a week since I got Rising Talent, but as you can see, now I don't have that anymore. Where did it go? Who knows?! But it was replaced with the job success score. That doesn't mean I have top-rated either, because I still have like 10 weeks before I can be considered top rated. So what happens in between there? Am I in some sort of crazy limbo? Will people still be able to find me? No way of knowing. That's what sucks about not having control.
