How to Close a Job on Upwork

Completing and closing a job on Upwork is a fairly straightforward process but it’s important to get each step right to maintain a strong professional reputation on the platform.

Step-by-step Approach

Step 1: Ensure that All Work is Completed

Before you close a job, you should always make sure that all the agreed upon work for the job has been completed to the client’s satisfaction.
This includes finishing the writing, editing, reviewing, and any revisions needed.

Step 2: Communicating with Your Client

Once all work is done, communicate with your client and ensure they’re satisfied with the delivered work. Only after the client’s approval, suggest closing the job.

Step 3: Close the Contract

Go to Upwork platform and navigate to the ‘Contracts’ section. Select the contract you want to end, and click on the ‘End contract’ button.

Points to Note

• You need to provide feedback about your client. This helps Upwork maintain a reliable working environment. Your feedback is private and won’t be shared with your client.
• You’ll also need to rate your experience with the client. This should be a fair reflection of your experience working with them.
• Be prepared for the client to provide a rating and feedback about you too. This will be visible on your profile and can affect your ‘Job Success Score’ which potential clients see when choosing a freelancer for their project.
