Hi Contributors!
I’m so excited to welcome you to our private group. In the future, we will open this group to a larger audience, but it’s just our little cohort until we iron out any wrinkles in our new program. You can head over to the submission guide if you want to jump right into learning what we’re looking for and how to submit your articles, but I wanted to take a chance to introduce myself and to learn a little about each of you.
I first learned about Upwork in 2017 while working as a freelance translator (French to English, if you’re curious). In 2018, I came across a job posting for a customer support role for Upwork. I was so fascinated by the platform and the future of work, that I submitted a proposal. I was awarded the project and began working internally with Upwork in May of 2018. Since then, I have held many roles with Upwork including Sr. Customer Ambassador, Agency Program Coordinator, and my current role as Content Program Manager for this Community contribution program.
I’m thrilled to have the chance to help facilitate a knowledge exchange while giving each of you a chance to share your wisdom and experience with the larger Upwork community and beyond.
So tell me about yourself! What field do you work in? What excited you about this opportunity? Where are you located? (I’m in Milwaukee, Wisconsin!) Share whatever you’re comfortable with, or nothing at all if you’re one of those mysterious types.
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing topics for discussion or ideas to get our creative juices flowing, but you can also create a new post at any time. You’re encouraged to ask questions and have fun!

Hi, am quite new here and Liomba is my name. Just wanted to find out how it works. I submitted a proposal for a gig yesterday and today, I have been requested to "apply" for the job on Telegram. I don't have an offer yet, but have been also requested to provide the following: Full name:…………. Sex:………….. Age:………….. Email address:………… Country:…………. Selfie………….(Yet my profile has my picture) Being a newbie, am kind of suspicious as to why all this ain't happening on Upwork. How does it work? TIA
