Interview Details – I applied for the particular job at oDesk. after a few days only, i received a message from the client asking me a few details regarding the job i applied for and asked me to give a sample of my work. he gave a specific example/format for me to follow which i did. the next day, he said it was ok and asked for a few more questions that i also answered promptly. his next mail was regarding my bid for the job that he raised :) and asked if its okay with me to lower the upfront payment to 25% although he said he would be willing to pay per additional milestone. after i agreed with the new terms, i received his confirmation and i started doing the job immediately.

Negotiation Details – very good indeed. for a first-timer, that gave me confidence to continue this new path. i was able to negotiate the time frame and the pay. my advice, make sure you submit a really good cover letter that best suits the job you're applying for in order to have a better chance of getting hired. even if you know you can do the job with ease, the clients don't know this and they usually interview through email so they really rely on your cover letter and experiences there. and if you're new like me, chances are, you will find difficulty getting your first job if you don't make a really good convincing cover letter.

Interview Details – The interview is pretty simple. You can get almost any question regarding the ways to reach the public, be it individual, or mass approach. All you gotta do is get your skills expressed to the employer in a best professional way to cling on to the job line. Your negotiation skills & deadline limit would do the rest of job.
