My profile was declined. What did I do wrong?

Got a message that your profile was declined? This article outlines the common reasons profiles aren’t approved on The Right Fit and how to improve your chances next time.

Don’t worry, it might just need a few tweaks.

Start by checking if you’ve completed all sections of your profile. If not, it’s time to get cracking. Think of your profile as your resume. Highlight your strengths and be authentic. Clients are drawn to individuality and want to see the real you.

If your profile is complete but was still declined, the issue could be your profile image.

Avoid these common image mistakes:

  • Heavily filtered photos (leave the puppy ears for your friends)

  • Selfies

  • Screenshots (especially those showing date, time, or notifications)

  • Mirror photos

  • Blurry or low-quality images

  • Watermarked photos

  • Nudity or offensive content

  • Group shots

Clients want to see you, clearly and professionally. A clean, well-lit headshot is ideal for your profile header, supported by a range of professional portfolio shots that reflect different styles such as casual, beach, or corporate.
