3⟩ Tell me about a problem that you have personally solved?

This can be a tricky question to answer, especially if you have never held a supervisory / managerial position or had any form of responsibility. In your replies you need to display resourcefulness, an ability to solve problems, your decision making skills and be able to clearly explain the approach you used. No matter how little work experience you have you should always be able to lead and come up with creative solutions. Describe situations where you came up with an idea that increased efficiency in your office or cut costs after you discovered a cheaper supplier etc.

A good writer views his or her work as a business, one that is worth investing in-and part of that investment involves joining professional organizations.

16⟩ Do I pay the web content writer directly?

No, you pay WAI and we pay the web content writer. Once you choose a writer and sign our agreement, WAI sub-contracts the writer to you. WAI will invoice you for the fees and/or hours. As soon as we receive payment from you, we pay the writer minus our fee.

17⟩ Tell me something about you and related to yourself?

They want you to tell them (in your own words) a bit more about your background, work experience, attitude and ambitions. Make your answer brief and to the point. Do not talk about your hobbies, personal likes or dislikes. Finish the answer by focusing on your Unique Selling Proposition, do this by mentioning what you are good at etc.

18⟩ What is your budget?

If a writer opens up with this question, without any others, keep looking!

We need to know what needs to be done within your budget.

With that being said, this is an important question that any freelancer will ask… but you need to pay attention to the context of how project budget is discussed.

Never give a freelancer full control over your budget limitations, because they will probably max you out. Instead, ask for an hourly or fixed rate proposal based on project details.

To be perfectly honest, I ask this question as soon as possible to eliminate the cheap bastards that want to pay less than minimum wage for my services. If nothing else, this question will save us both time and energy.
