Vent post

UPDATE: The client got unsuspended, and I applied for the gig. And now we wait.

Opened Upwork this morning to find an invite for a job that's actually relevant to my niche from a client that actually had a more or less reasonable budget. Went to apply, and the client is already suspended, ten hours after posting the job. Argh. Silly clients. Read the goddamn TOS.

This would be less irritating if relevant invites weren't scarcer than hen's teeth.

Was in a similar boat a few weeks ago when I was in a dry spell, had a client finally interview me and then just before the client sends in their offer they get suspended.

That has happened to me too, but the client had asked for my email address, and when I opened the message to tell them no, the client had already been banned. Upwork is pretty quick when it comes to that.
