Correct use of the times

Could you please help me with the correct answers?


I ... as a freelancer for six months before I got the job here six weeks ago.

Is it: have been working? Or: have worked?


When did you start to work here?

Or: have you started? I would say "did start" because the start is over, it does not continue into the present. Correct?


I'm happy to be here. I had been looking for an interesting job for a long time.

Past perfect continuous because something had been happening for a period of time before I found the job?


Thanks for your help!
