Interviewing for freelance contract - need info!

[Kathleen Nosbisch <kat -at- NETWISE -dot- COM>]

Hi All,

I am interviewing this afternoon for a freelance contract job of four
to six weeks in duration (my first).  I am currently employed
full-time, and am just considering doing this as a moonlighting job,
for extra income for the holidays.

I would like to find out if there are any additional items I need to
consider for a contract job that wouldn't be an issue with a regular
full-time position, like things I need to be sure to ask, get in
writing, or whatever else I need to accomplish to have this excursion
be successful.

Some of the things I have thought of include:

 - Do they expect masters or final/finished/bound copy at completion
 - Do I work on-site or off  (they have an office established with
     hardware/software, so I'm told...)
 - How/where do I get source
 - Pay rate, i.e., per hour, per project, or what...
 - Is payment made on a regular basis or upon completion of the job...
 - Graphics: do I do them or is there a graphic artist who I'll work
     with...

and so on.....

but I'm sure there are numerous other issues to
consider of which I'm totally unaware, or haven't yet thought about.

Can anyone provide some insight, suggestions, advice, etc... in this
area?

Thanks to all who reply!!
