I am adding in some new Saved Searches and I want to delete one I added accidentally and an old one and I cannot figure out in the new interface how to do it. Has anyone figured this out?
I want to preface this by saying that I know there are jobs that are put out by clients (to use the term loosely) that have no intention of ever hiring. But I want to tell this story to give you an example of how what is going on is not always that.
I started talking to a client in January on a job post. I was the only person they ever interviewed by the stats.
The nothing has happened for months.
Then after a round of recent discussions we decided to do a quick job to review some things to do a better estimate on the work to be done.
So, they created a new job for that.
But they also hired me directly from my profile.
I contacted them as soon as I noticed the other job show up in my Best Matches and they closed it pretty quickly. The job was pretty obvious that they were looking to hire someone they had already talked to but I am sure the autobots proposed on it if not others.
So that is two jobs created where it looks like nobody was ever hired. Did Upwork profit from all of them? Sure. I even proposed on the wrong job just as an added way to contact them to tell them to close the job so I lost connects on that. But the point remains, this client had every intention of hiring it just didn't happen under either job they posted. The next part, if we go forward, won't be on a job they posted (hopefully).
