“Having a fully complete profile is the most important piece to getting opportunities, as it’s one of the first things potential clients will see.”Īlso important: at this time the ProFinder program is only available in the US.

This FAQs article from ProFinder has some excellent details, including how to get started on the platform and how to set up your profile:Īs they state in the article, your profile is VERY important, so take care in creating a good one: That is what I did – then I reapplied to be a Pro, then they accepted me and here I am, still on the platform today! It turns out that they rejected me because I didn’t yet have any reviews on LinkedIn itself – on the regular LinkedIn platform (which I have been on for several years now). The ProFinder representative suggested I go out and get some reviews on my profile, then come back and reapply.
I responded to the rejection letter, explaining how I really truly am experienced and do know my stuff and why the heck did they reject me? (I didn’t use those exact words, but you get the idea). I received basically a rejection letter, saying something to the effect that I didn’t have the necessary experience… which I thought was odd since I’ve been doing my thing (web development/design) for over 20 years. The ProFinder folks didn’t accept me at first, when I first submitted my application to become one of their pros. Unlike some of the other freelancer sites (such as Guru or Hubstaff) you have to apply to work on ProFinder – and there is a possibility that you won’t be accepted to work off of their platform.
My journey on this new freelancing platform began in February of 2019.
