As your home for generative AI service work, we want to help provide as many opportunities as possible for you to build a career you love. A new partnership between OpenAI and Upwork can help you showcase your large language model (LLM) expertise to clients looking for services like yours.
How it works
If you’re a freelancer who offers services relating to OpenAI, and meet certain program criteria, you have the opportunity to be featured on the OpenAI Experts on Upwork page. This allows you to market your services directly to clients who are looking for work like yours related to OpenAI.
To be considered for this opportunity, you’ll need to meet these requirements:
- Have experience working with the OpenAI platform
- Showcase portfolio work in your profile related to your OpenAI experience
- Set and keep your profile visibility public
- Complete the OpenAI Experts on Upwork interest form
- Pro tip: Make sure all the requirements are met and your profile is public before you submit the form.
Important:
If you want to participate and market your services through this OpenAI partnership, be sure to read this article carefully in order to meet the requirements to be considered. If this isn't for you, you can still offer any OpenAI-related services without being featured in the program.
Requirements for AI portfolio work
Part of the requirements for this program include showcasing your past, relevant work in your public profile. Below are the requirements for your portfolio work to be considered:
- Your portfolio item needs to have the phrase “OpenAI Experience” as part of the title
- The work must include a high-resolution image and/or video that demonstrates your experience with OpenAI
- This image or video should not include any confidential information or other information that requires third-party approval to use, including logos
- When creating the portfolio item, you’ll be able to select relevant skills. Include all relevant skill keywords or experience you’ve had with OpenAI
- Be sure to include a brief description of what you completed on the project. Again, you should not include confidential information or information that otherwise requires third-party approval to disclose
- Don’t delete or change your portfolio item during the review process or if you become featured on the site. If you need to change the portfolio item, you’ll need to resubmit the OpenAI Experts on Upwork interest form
Many of the freelancers featured offer consultations in OpenAI services, as it helps potential clients get an understanding of the work they need. Offering a consultation in OpenAI services isn’t necessary to be featured in this program, but it can help you stand out.
