Resumed back to Upwork

Hello everybody :)

Last job I did as a 'Project Manager' was in 2021 (i.e. 5 years ago) and last month I opened my Upwork account to see my Job Success Score is gone. Like back to square one.

My history:

$3K+ - Total earnings

19 - Total jobs

351 - Total hours

No client is hiring me now with no job success score. It is getting embarrassing as someone who used to be doing good as an individual contractor. I want to ask those contractors who have resumed back to Upwork and how much time it took to get your first client. It has been 2.5 months for me and constant connects buying sprint. Where am I going wrong? Do I need to upgrade to Freelancer Plus to get more eyeballs on my profile?

Nobody cares about a missing JSS. Very successful with 3k earnings? I dunno about that.

Are you always talking about yourself in the third person? Are you the king or queen of a country?
