Applying to Projects

Please be sure to read the entire job posting. This includes:
- Location Requirements: Make sure you can fulfill the onsite requirement if needed.
- Travel Requirements: Please note you must hover over the information icon (next to the location listed) to see if the client is willing to reimburse travel expenses.
- Duration/Hours per week: Please only apply if you have the availability required.
- Start Date: Please make sure you are available to start on the start date listed. However, please keep in mind that these dates often fluctuate depending on how long the hiring process takes for the client. If a project is still open and the start date has passed, note that the client is still in the process of reviewing candidates.

Messaging Clients

Clients will usually reach out to you directly through the messaging tool (login required to click the link). You'll receive an alert on your dashboard when a message has been sent to you.
Please be sure to check your messages and e-mail often, as prompt responses are crucial to landing projects.
Please be sure to check your spam & promotions folder for message notifications. When you are new to the network, these messages may get stuck there.

Applying to Project: If you come across a project that piques your interest, apply immediately. Many projects receive a large number of applicants and you want to be top of mind to the client.
Responding to client reach outs: It is extremely important to respond to client messages immediately. A majority of Graphite projects are urgent needs for our clients and tend to close quickly - a missed message can result in a missed opportunity! Frequent failure to respond to client messages may result in removal from Graphite's network.

Keep in mind that when you first join the network you are granted 10 applications per month. Applications are renewed on the 1st of each month.
Applications do not roll over month-to-month – your monthly application total refreshes on the first of every month
Applications are credited back when clients reach out to you or hire you for roles.
As you complete projects on Graphite and receive positive reviews, you are granted additional applications. Negative feedback on projects may result in removal from Graphite's network.
