Connection points

This morning I received an invite for an interview with a prospective client.

 

The proposals needed are 20-50.  I have only 7 active proposals. Do I qualify for the invitation to submit a proposal?  I'm confused.

 

Why would someone request an interview when I don't meet the quantity requirement for proposals?

 

Thank you,

Please expedite as Upwork and client are waiting!

Janet, I just wanted to warn you that since you're a relatively new freelancer and you're located in the U.S., you'll need to watch out for scams. If this client wants to interview you on Skype and/or send you a cheque to pay for equipment, both of these things are against the terms of service and should be flagged as inappropriate. Good luck!
