SEEKING FREELANCER Worldwide, REMOTE, near-total flexibility on hours. $70-100/hr. Expert Interviewer at Karat ( https://karat.io ) Work from anywhere in the world that has a solid internet connection. Work as much or as little as you want. Work any day, any time of day, any number of hours -- you can do 0 one week, 50 the next week, and back to 0 the next week. Only requirement there is that we want you to roughly a…

I'm wondering, how long is each interview? If someone wants to work 20 hours, does that mean 20 hours of interviewing? Are there enough interviews available to be able to maintain the hours? Just curious what a 20 hour work week would look like doing this job.

Hey, thanks for the questions. Interviews are mostly 60 minutes, though we are experimenting with longer formats (90 and 120). We leave 30 minutes at the end of each interview to complete and submit your write-up on the candidate's performance (we have a detailed rubric that you grade against for each section of the interview). As you become more experienced, you tend to need much less than 30 minutes to complete this writeup.

If you wanted to work 20 hours, that could be 20 hours of interviewing, but we also have other work you can do as you become more experienced, like helping to review interviews, mentor newer interviewers, develop and test new interview content, build features on the platform, etc. Some people prefer to only or mostly interview though, and that's fine.

There's some seasonality to interview supply just because of the nature of recruiting cycles, but we're growing pretty quickly and we've got people focused on capacity management, so that smooths things out a bit.

A 20 hour work week for some people is just 20 hours of interviewing on their own schedule; for others it's a mix of interviewing, reviewing others' interviews, and mentoring. We have some interviews who do mostly non-interviewing tasks like mentoring, or working with clients, just based on their preferences and skillsets.

Hope that answers your questions, but let me know if you'd like me to elaborate on any of this.

SEEKING WORK | Seattle (remote preferred, travel OK)

Hi there! I'm a polyglot web programmer with a specialty in scientific data visualization. In the past six years I've written code for games, desktop apps, and phone apps. As a freelancer, I've worked with clients on data dashboards and APIs, bringing products to market as well as just making proof-of-concepts.

Previous projects I've shipped include graph visualizations of pharma data, custom data dashboard charts, interactive maps, and React Native and Electron apps. I have dual degrees in CS and studio art, spent several years at the University of Washington working on NSF-funded serious games in microbiology, and cut my teeth writing simulations of complex systems for UMich and Sandia Labs.

My latest projects have used D3.js a lot, and for quick visualizations and analysis I'll use Python, pandas and Jupyter. I'm friendly, communicative, have opinions both on design aesthetics as well as tools, and am happy to advocate for what I think would be best for a project. Happy to expand on previous projects and chat about yours.

Most-used tools:

* Javascript stack: Node.js, ES6, React, D3.js, React Native, Electron

* Python stack(s): Django, pandas, matplotlib, scikit, sklearn, basemap

Also used: C# / .NET framework, Java
