Hey guys! I forgot to mention in the video that I did NOT end up getting selected for the expert vetted badge. I received a follow up message about a week later basically telling me that news. Tip: Make sure your profile is updated and fully built out.
Thanks for sharing. I'm a video editor with 3.5K verified hours, Top rated plus for like 2 years now. Would be cool to have it. But already had great experiences as of now.
Can you share your upwork profile Luis? Just wanted to compare with mine to give it a shot. Upwork just open their expert-vetted invitiation now, but it need 300 connect to apply. Thanks for the video btw!
Im on the edge of this program $45 for some random Person to test me not sure if its a good investment. And since you said they basically didnt give you the batch then I think it’s probably not worth the money or time.
Good question. If you have many years of professional experience, have worked with big-name clients (e.g., Fortune 500, 1000+), and have lots of case studies, then yes, I believe you’ll get invited to apply to many jobs with this badge. I say this because I interviewed with one of the managers without applying for the position, as they offer now. However, if you haven’t worked at big companies or what they call Fortune X type of companies, then I don’t think it’s worth it. That’s my opinion. I believe they place a lot of weight/value on experience with Fortune X type of companies. Just know that if you proceed in the selection process, they will test your SEO skills with an expert in that field. Then they decide if you’re selected or not. Good luck if you do proceed. P.S. For most beginners with only a few years of experience, I don’t think it’s worth it because they want to see significant results and many case studies from well-known brands or Fortune X type of companies. Essentially, they want to understand the value you can bring to their enterprise clients (which makes sense) and the extent of your skills and capabilities. Great question.
