These aren’t always needed but more often than not, you will encounter project details that are somewhat vague, or the employer might leave out details necessary to give them a cost or a time estimate. If this is the case, you will have to list these questions of uncertainty to the employer.
Again, asking questions can give the potential employer the impression that you are knowledgeable and may inform them of issues they haven’t thought of so do not be afraid to ask them.
Note that questions are not always necessary and do not have to appear on the bid. It is important to ask them, though, if it will help clarify a project. Keep the questions to a maximum of two or three, though. If there are more, wait until they contact you to ask them.
One additional tip is that some FWEs, such as Guru, have a project message board (one for each project) which acts as a tool to for freelancers to post questions or comments. They are visible to everyone too. My recommendation is that you read them, but not post to them. Reading them may give you some new insight on a project, but posting to them may give other competing freelancers some insight instead. Save the questions for your own bid.
