What to ask the customer

Employers are all different, and a specialist working remotely must find an approach to each of them. Sometimes this can be quite difficult, for example, if a potential customer cannot clearly explain their own requirements. And there are also such clients who seem to be able to give a task, but constantly drag out the discussion of the details of the project. At the beginning of cooperation, the workflow is smooth and easy, but as soon as it comes to the moment of signing the contract, everything suddenly ends. But nothing foreshadowed such an outcome of events – you communicated well, the person appreciated your portfolio, everything was in order. And then the customer takes a break.

Manipulative employers hope to bring down the price by such methods. A discouraged freelancer looks unprofessional and, if pointed out, may well start working at a reduced rate. For this reason, prudence has never harmed anyone, and when starting cooperation with a new client, it is necessary to think over all the nuances in advance. A correctly formulated question indicates that the author is well prepared for the upcoming interview.

Next, we will consider the most useful questions that are specific in this particular area and allow preventing manipulation by employers.

How often do you work with freelancers

Such a counter and direct question can confuse the most unscrupulous customer. And the performer will find out what the employer thinks about remote work, how he communicates with freelancers and what experience he has in this area. This is quite valuable information with which you can identify a problem client at the initial stage of a business relationship. The same question will make sure that the person is quite adequate and you can cooperate with him.

How will the payment for services take place

The question essentially immediately speaks of the literacy and awareness of the freelancer. The client-manipulator will try to provide an evasive answer, offering to discuss this detail a little later. Sometimes you can ease the pressure a little and explain what you meant by the method of payment: whether the payment for the work performed will take place through electronic currency or whether the transfer is made to a bank card. The customer will quickly answer such a question, here he loses absolutely nothing. After that, you should find out about prepayment or phased payments for the services provided.

How to report to you

If the project is highly paid and large, then the employer must certainly control the workflow. So the specified question is appropriate and confirms that the author is a responsible employee. If the client is trying to bring down the cost of the services you provide, then the issue of financial reporting will be extremely inconvenient for him. He can continue the game and respond like: “You see, I don’t want to interfere in the creative work, we will discuss all the nuances when the task is completed.” However, this should not be allowed. A conscientious customer will immediately clarify the possible difficulties and tell you how the work on the project will take place.

What are the project deadlines

Very correct and expedient question. In such a situation, the customer-manipulator can answer that there are no strictly set deadlines, and you can do the work in a convenient mode. An experienced writer at this stage often politely says goodbye and starts looking for a new employer. Because it is obvious that the client “floated” and nothing sensible will come of such cooperation.

What makes your idea unique

Of course, this question should be asked to those who intend to implement a fairly large and complex project. For example, to develop a service for the sale of railway tickets or a website about modern methods in the construction of multi-storey buildings. If you just need to correct the text, finalize the illustrations or write a script, there is no need to ask about this. This is a question for authors who plan to get not only long-term work, but also the trust of the customer.

Sometimes you need to subtly hint about your own skills and experience. This can be done by learning about the client’s priorities, what is more important for him: speed or quality? Of course, all customers need the project to be completed efficiently and quickly, so many people get nervous when they hear such a question.

Do not ask about possible obstacles or discuss the possibility of working on a “long” weekend. Sometimes it happens that it is not clear how the employer found a freelancer. It is advisable to ask about this at the end of the conversation. Such interest at the beginning of communication may indicate that the freelancer is a beginner in this field and is extremely surprised by the happiness that has fallen on him.

Output

In passing, the questions discussed will help identify the problem customer. But there are still certain details that need to be clarified during the negotiations. Many clients take care of their own projects, in connection with which they are looking for like-minded authors. For this reason, try to build trust during the interview and feel free to ask.

You also need to be well prepared for spontaneous questions that an employer may ask. Especially if such an interrogation is arranged by a manipulative client who is trying to underestimate the cost of the services provided by a freelancer. So it is advisable to draw them up in a separate list and always keep them at hand. During communication, both parties often communicate in writing and a quick, competent answer will prove to the customer that he is an experienced specialist.

When, after many sleepless nights, the diploma is finally ready, I want to pass it and forget it. But the university will not lag behind the student so easily. After all, the full text of the diploma was read only by the supervisor, and a whole commission will gather to evaluate it. Therefore, in many respects, his assessment depends on how the student defends his diploma.

So what is a successful defense?

  • Competent protection text
  • positive diploma review
  • confident answers to commission questions

In the introduction to the course it is necessary to indicate many important points. One of them is methodology. The student is required to indicate what methods he will use in the study of the topic. This is not the easiest task, and often students cannot cope with this task themselves. In this case, you can contact us. Our specialists will write you a paper of any complexity, and you can discuss the price with them personally.

Speech structure

Of course, what exactly to say in the defense depends mainly on the topic of the thesis and on what exactly is written in it, but there are general recommendations that are suitable for everyone.

  • First of all, we need to greet the members of the evaluation committee. (“Dear members of the attestation commission! Your attention is presented to the final qualifying work on the topic …”)
  • Introductory part. Here you need to reveal the topic and identify the issues that are raised in the work.
  • Relevance of the topic. At this stage, it is important to prove the relevance of the chosen topic and the degree of its development in other people’s works. Indicate the subject, object, objectives and purpose of the study.
  • Theme disclosure structure. Here you just need to list the paragraphs that are in the work and briefly describe them.
  • Problem statement. To confirm the relevance of the topic, it is necessary to state the problem and indicate debatable opinions on this matter.
  • Conclusions. At the end of the speech, the commission should hear the conclusions that the student came to in the course of writing the diploma, in which there are ways and methods for solving the stated problems.

On the one hand, it seems that it is much easier to write a graduation speech than the diploma itself. However, high-quality speech is a skillful squeeze out of the work, as well as its competent presentation. And it often happens that a diploma is written with the highest score, and a student gets a worse grade. Therefore, if there is a lack of self-confidence, you can order a speech on our website. And then the probability of failure due to bad speech will disappear. After all, we give a twenty-day guarantee for the work, and if something does not suit you, you can demand that the author finalize the order for free. We make sure that students are satisfied, so if the final version of the work does not meet the stated requirements, you will get your money back.

Formal requirements

When writing a speech for a thesis, you must also take into account that there are purely formal requirements.

  • Time. Do not forget that there are many students, but only one commission. Therefore, the time for a defensive speech is regulated and ranges from 5 to 7 minutes. At the same time, you should remember about the time that will be spent on commission questions.
  • Intonation. Where, no matter how on the defense of a diploma, is it important to win over listeners? Therefore, it is better not to read the speech monotonously, making accents with intonation.
  • Style. When presenting a speech, it should be remembered that the main goal is understanding on the part of the commission. Therefore, you should not be too smart, but you can’t switch to colloquial speech either. In this matter, you need to observe the golden mean.
  • Pronouns. As in the diploma itself, it is important to remember during the defense that although the author of the diploma is clearly spelled out, there are a lot of true owners of knowledge reflected in the work (the authors of all the sources the student relied on plus the supervisor), so first-person pronouns are not appropriate here.
  • Questions. After the end of the speech, questions from the commission will inevitably follow, and you need to be ready for them. Suggested questions should be written down in the course of writing the thesis, work through all the questions that arose during the pre-defense, and you can also look at the questions at the end of chapters from textbooks on this topic.
  • Pre-protection. In such a matter as defending a diploma, it is better not to be presumptuous and neglect pre-defense. On it, you can practice giving a speech and write down possible questions from the audience. This will allow you to feel more confident in the official defense.

Of course, these are only recommendations, and no one forces you to strictly follow them. However, the rejection of some positions during the defense will create additional questions from the certification committee, which is not always loyal. Therefore, it is best to think through all possible questions and answer them in advance in a defensive speech. Then the teachers will have a minimum of questions, and they will be grateful for the saved time.
