I would say, “I’m excited to work here. But I’m sorry, I don’t do free work.”

You should be paid for that work. Never do “free trial work”.

For me its a bad faith request. I’ve work for some of the top agencies, my book was enough. If you don’t believe thats my work, don’t call me.

I did the task just so I can tell them later, they’ll never go places with this hiring process.

Ugh, I am four business days past my loop interview and tomorrow is five, which is their maximum number of days they said they would take to make a decision. I’m trying to be optimistic, like, if they unanimously didn’t want me they probably would have told me sooner. But who knows?! The waiting is the worst part, knowing if the time investment into interview prep was actually worth it.

PE case study - I have 4 days to complete. Was given two CIMs to choose from and making investment recommendation.

Assuming the former but want to make sure I’m not missing the mark here (no guidance provided on this).

Not cpa related, but if anyone is applying to pwc start internship 2021 and you identify as a minority you can "present yourself as a minority" and a recruiter will refer you to a web page to see if you meet this criteria.

So, a spot I made (concept to completion) got shelved due to COVID forcing the client’s marketing plan to change. During that time, my partner and I were laid off. Recently, the spot aired, but the agency credits a different team for the work – me, my parter, and my CDs aren’t listed. Do I ask the agency to correct it? Just throw it in my book with explanation? Just take the L and chalk it up to that being how the industry is?
