I have never formally interviewed for freelancer roles. I don't interview car mechanics or plumbers -- I pay them to fix a problem and expect (sometimes wrongly) that they know their business. When I get a freelancing lead the customer doesn't usually care about my experience, education, age. They want to know if I can fix their business problems. Either I can or I can't. If the customer does try to start an interview with me I change the subject to focus on what problems they need to solve. My job as a freelancer/consultant amounts to quickly understanding the problems, setting priorities, and fixing things. I'm not auditioning for a f/t job.
