.As a freelancer or a virtual Special screw Factory<\/a>, we\u2019ve all been there. You search the internet for jobs that you can apply to. You search for a job position; results pop up; you scroll through, checking the job description, responsibilities, perks and benefits, possible work schedule, and salary; satisfied with your search, you send your application\u2014your resume, cover letter, and portfolio hoping to get a reply. Finally, after a few days, you check your inbox. One of the jobs you applied for wants to invite you for an interview\u2026now what? How do you get through? Here are some simple but underestimated tips on how to ace your client interview.Be calm.\u00a0Interviews\u2014most especially initial interviews\u2014are meant to assess you personally, not intellectually. No one is going to ask you to do a mock call or a demo lesson the first minute you meet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clients conduct initial interviews to get to know you better. They asses some factors like your routine, your other responsibilities, your availability, your skills and talents, and some other factors. Be calm, and most importantly, be honest. You\u2019re not the client\u2019s only applicant, and chances are they can sense your lies a mile away. Nobody likes a dishonest VA from the start.Don\u2019t lie.\u00a0As previously stated, a dishonest applicant is an unqualified applicant. When being asked about your expertise, be specific and don\u2019t overdo it. It\u2019s okay to brag\u2014you\u2019re trying to impress clients, after all\u2014but don\u2019t brag what you can\u2019t show. Don\u2019t lie about having more than five years of experience when you\u2019ve only had one. Don\u2019t tell them that you spearheaded a specific project when you only contributed to a certain task. Don\u2019t say you\u2019re knowledgeable when you barely have any idea what they\u2019re talking about. This will cause problems for both you and your client in the long run.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ask questions.\u00a0Don\u2019t ever be shy about asking questions. Clients ask you questions so they can find out how you will benefit to their business. Ideally, you can ask questions to clarify points that you don\u2019t understand. It\u2019s okay to ask. Asking questions means you care about the job to not screw it up, and that you want to do your job well. Remember: there is no question too stupid when it comes to work.Thank them.\u00a0When all is done and over, thank the client for the opportunity, adding that you hope to work with them very soon. Not all clients receive a thank you from their applicants, so showing appreciation for the interview gives away the idea that you are really interested in the job.And there you have it. Simple but mostly overlooked traits that are essential on how to ace your client interview! Be calm. Don\u2019t lie. Ask questions. Thank them for the opportunity. Implement these tips in your interviews and you\u2019re one step closer to landing that dream freelance or virtual assistant job!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
