There are two indicators that you are being considered for a project:
1. Shortlisted by a Client
If you proactively submit a proposal for a project and the client shortlists you, you’ll get an email notification. This is a good time to review the project details and your proposal again, making updates if needed.
2. Invitation to Submit a Proposal
Sometimes a client will reach out directly with an invitation to propose. You’ll receive an email with a link to view the project details, then decide whether to submit a proposal or decline. If you’re interested, responding promptly with your proposal improves your chances of moving forward.
In both cases, being shortlisted or invited to submit a proposal is not a guarantee that you’ll be invited to be interviewed.
