#GOOGLE HANGOUTS INTERVIEW HOW TO#
I don't have the links but you can search the Community for previous discussions, in which users shared great tips on how to prepare for and conduct yourself in interviews that end up taking too much of your time, or when clients require post-interview follow up sessions. To sum up, I'd strongly advise against providing the requested information as you have already done, and would like to ask you to report the client directly to Customer Support with all the information you shared here (if possible please include screenshots of the client's request), so our team could review and take action. Still, it was an ongoing client who had a long-term relationship with the freelancer, and not a prospective client like in your case. One other exception I've come across in the Elance WC was a case when an ongoing client asked for the freelancer's home address and wanted to express their gratitude, for the extra effort their freelancer had put into finishing their job on a tight deadline. They already have access to your profile and payment mechanisms, and don't need your personal details or copies of your personal documents in order to hire and start working with you. Except in a case when a client asks a freelancer to sign an NDA agreement, which freelancers should go over with a fine-tooth comb to be certain what the agreement contains and covers, and request the freelancer's address, in no other circumstances should clients need to " enlist you for proper documentation".
