Either way, we wish you only the best of luck.Please briefly describe your qualifications and what you can bring to our team.(Required) ATTENTION: We especially need freelancers who are available *during weekdays* for same-day rushes.

(Include the phrase “same-day rushes.”) This will help us spot the best candidates.FINAL QUESTION! Read this paragraph:We’re in full-on celebration mode down here in Atlanta! Popping the cork, our bottle of bubbly makes the loudest noise. Is this really happening, y’all?What’s the one BIGGEST thing that’s wrong with the paragraph above?(Required) “Y’all” seems really informal considering the context. The exclamation point is too much. Replace it with a period. There’s a comma in the wrong place. The verb tense is not appropriate. I can’t put my finger on what’s wrong exactly, but I would recommend rewriting it. Let me work my magic on it. There’s a major problem, and it’s none of the above. The sentences are not ideal, but there’s nothing really “wrong” here.(Select just *one* answer.)Δ No phone calls, please. This helps us ensure fairness and consistency for all applicants.
