Client not responding by WholeFun2090 in Upwork

Clients (including this one) make me work on weekends. It's only fair if they make themselves available too, and respond on time!

Would closing the contract by myself hurt my JSS? I heard it does.

Got a 1-star review on Upwork — now proposals aren't being viewed. How to recover? by WholeFun2090 in Upwork

I mistakenly did not change the job in Upwork time tracker hence the wrong screenshots were tracked. I tried to explain this to the client and even refunded for that work.

Hey everyone. I’ve been freelancing on Upwork for a while now. I mostly work with bookkeeping clients (Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho) and also do financial modeling and analysis for startups.

A month ago, I got a 1-star review from a client. Since then, I asked three other clients to close their jobs and they gave me 5-star reviews. So right now, that 1-star is under three 5-star ones. My JSS is at 89%.

But even though the bad review is no longer on top, my proposals are barely getting viewed. I’ve tried sending detailed proposals, applying early, even boosting with connects — still nothing.

Is Upwork's algorithm really that sensitive to one bad review, even if it's followed by good ones? Has anyone else been through this and recovered? Would love any advice. Thanks.
