I usually schedule a telephone appointment in that case. Feb 18, AM by Jennifer M. I really hate their wording for the process. An "interview" is just you chatting with the buyer. It means nothing more. I hate "interview" a whole lot less than "active candidacy. Feb 18, PM by Preston H. Only rarely have I ever spoken to a client on the phone or via video chat.
Mostly I use Upwork messaging. I think it is good business to add this as an option you provide to clients. But it certainly is not necessary. Thank you guys! I hate having one interview every few years nevermind having an interview every time I apply for a one or two hour freelance position. I don't know why, but whenever I have an interview I seem to forget that I speak English. My current position is my only "Permanent" post for this reason.
Previously I have gone through recruitment agencies. They normally tend to be more relaxed, start you off for a month to test your abilities and keep you if you work out.
Feb 21, PM by Muhammad A.

Most invitations for a call are open-ended. They have no specified duration and could last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or longer. Not only does this BEAM authority, but it forces both parties to get all their ducks in a row before the call and make it a highly-focused and productive 10…15…20 minutes.
Well, one of the best ways to ensure a smooth interview and to almost certainly bag the job is to be irrationally prepared for every scenario. Now, as I said before, these interviews are almost never like traditional job interviews. They tend to be a lot more informal and sometimes even require YOU to take the lead. In fact, taking the lead is often something you want to strive for.
Being able to direct the conversation in a way that hits all the right notes is exactly what you want. Whether it be a casual chat, a strategy call, or a more traditional, question-by-question grilling. This is more of a mindset thing more than anything else, and going in with the right mindset is another form of preparation that should never be underestimated. Rereading the job description you applied for is a great way to get a quick refresher on what the opportunity is actually about.
The job description rarely offers enough information to get a complete understanding of the clients company and their goals.
A great place to get that information is from the company website. As you do your research prior to the call, you should always be taking notes. Relying on your brain to recall information at just the right time is a risky move, and the payoff for getting it right is significant enough to warrant going the extra mile to have it all written down. Trust me, something as simple as reading back a clients mission statement in the midst of a conversation will earn you HUGE brownie points.
It happens.
