How to increase the number of invitations to Upwork?

Question

Freelance

Upwork was flooding me with interview requests a few days ago. After receiving the contract, I set the status to "Not Looking" and the invitations stopped coming. The contract ended and set the status back to "Right Away", but the invitations no longer come.
Who had this? How to return the situation?

Answer 1

In general, if you are flooded with invitations, don't change your status, don't make my mistake :(

Answer 2

There are statuses in the profile on the page https://www.upwork.com/find-work-home/ on the right under your profile picture. There it is possible to select "Available" and the number of working hours or "Not Available", that is, available for work. As I understand it, the choice of one of them depends on what will be shown in your profile: available for work or not.
And there are statuses in the chat of the Upwork mobile apps on Android, iPhone and possibly in the Team App (for Windows) too. There are three statuses: Right Away, Later, Not Looking. As written in the application itself, these statuses make it possible for the client to understand how quickly you will respond to their invitation (invitation).
Try changing the status in the profile to "Available" and in the chat to "Right Away".
