Hello!
I am new to Upwork and I am from Cape Town, South Africa.
I have a Certicate from Typewhizz UK: Video Subtilte and Caption Transcriber.
I have already created a profile on Upwork and am trying to add this Certficate. I am also trying to add my Teaching Diploma: Higher Diploma in Teaching with Didactic Remedial, which was my work field proir to becoming a Certified Transcriber.
These certifications cannot be found on the Dropdown Menu, therefore I have to add them Manually. However, this option will not work for me: I keep being told that I can only add 2 custom certifications. Yet I have not been able to load any custom certificates successfully!
The REAL problem: I have not yet successfully added any custom cerificates, therefore keep getting 'stuck' here.
Consequently, my Profile is not 100% complete. This is impeding my progress on Upwork, as I will not attract suitable jobs and will not be able to earn an income via Upwork.
I am really keen to get started with my career on Upwork but first need a Profile that is 100% complete!
Please can somone help me? The Helpcentre keeps taking me to places that are not providing an effective solution to my problem, so the Helpcentre is not a workable option for me.
I eagerly await suitable responses 🙂
