  2. How long do you estimate the project will take?
  3. Do you have a preferred timezone to work in?
  4. What is your experience with similar projects or tasks? 
  5. Rate your skills from 1-10 and explain your ratings. 
  6. What would you do in [situation]?
  7. Is there anything outside of the project that could interfere in completing it? 
  8. What is your biggest strength for this role? 
  9. When can you start? 
  10. How did you get into this field?
  11. How do you like to communicate (email, chat, etc.)?
  12. What questions do you have for me? 

As you go through your own interview process, make sure to ask other key questions about the project to make sure that they hit all the requirements you submitted to FreeUp. 

For example:
