What happens if you withdraw from a proposal on upwork?
Withdrawing from a Proposal on Upwork
Process
You have the ability to withdraw a proposal after you’ve sent it before the client has offered you a contract. You simply navigate to your proposals page, find the proposal in question, click on the “more” option and select “withdraw”.
Outcome
However, there are a couple of things to consider when withdrawing from a proposal:
-
You will not be refunded the Connects used for the proposal, even if you withdraw it immediately.
-
The proposal will no longer be visible to the client.
-
The withdrawal cannot be undone. You are unable to reapply to a job posting once you’ve withdrawn a proposal for it.
Recommended Actions
Due to the potential negative outcomes, it’s typically recommended to thoroughly consider a job posting before making use of your Connects to submit a proposal.
However, if you need to withdraw a proposal for any reason, it’s an available option.
I hope this helps clarify the process and repercussions of withdrawing a proposal on Upwork!
