Hi,

Who deletes old ProZ.com job offers such as the following for my language pair?

http://www.proz.com/translation-jobs/599714

The quoting deadline was on December 7, but you can still see the job offer.

Jobs remain visible after they are closed Jan 4

People may need to see a job they have quoted on, or want to check a previous job related to a new job posted by the same outsourcer.

Marina,
Have you tried using the "View All" button?
It is in the search box, at the bottom, next to Advance Search.
When I click on it, it brings up many more pages, not just two, as it would if you did not click View All.
You will see the line of page numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, ..... etc.
If you want to go to further pages, I recommend you also click the large "Search and Save Settings" button, otherwise when you go to the selected page, the entire page goes back to 2-page list mode, so you are basically stuck. At least this is what happened to me.

Try it, it should work.

Jobs closed, but posted within the last 30 days remain visible Jan 4

Hello all,

Note that the "Translation industry jobs" page allows you to see open as well as closed jobs as long as they were posted within the last 30 days. So, even when quoting is no longer allowed for a given job (i.e. quoting deadline was reached) and the job is closed, it will be displayed as part of results provided it was posted within the last month. Just have in mind that to see both open and closed jobs posted within the last 30 days you must use the following search parameters:

  • Status: All
  • Posted: Last month
  • Job expiration: Any

    Hope this clarifies.

    Lucia

    I have changed my search preferences. Jan 4

    Thank you Katalin and Lucia.

    I have changed my search preferences and can view more job offers now.

    What does the checkbox Potential stand for?

    "Potential" job type Jan 4

    Potential jobs are upcoming or possible jobs for which outsourcers need to find more service providers before they can acquire the job and assign the project to one or more translators.
