The site is full of bugs when uploading samples. And slooowwww.I tried to upload bid specific samples on 3 different browsers (with brand new Mac & completely up to date software) and my uploads would disappear after an "invalid" notice. So many freelance sites are scams though, just praying on getting "bid money" from people who want work. This one offered a trial period so I thought I'd give it a shot, but if a site wants me to spend $5 to prove I can speak English well, and increase my bid odds of "370%" I'm suspicious.
Number one if they were catering to artists, there'd be an option to do a folder upload like Flicker or Facebook.
Hi, Linda. Are you still encountering errors in uploading files? If yes, feel free to send me an email with the screenshot at larao@freelancer.com and I will check this for you.
As for the exams, note that there are employers who require freelancers to take a specific exam. Taking such and passing them, also give the freelancers an edge over other bidders.
I will be waiting for your email. Take care!
