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.

Hey Guys,


I got a call from
Infosys HR on 16-September-2022 that I have been successfully selected for the job position of Test Analyst at Infosys, as per our conversation I have to receive an offer letter within 15 days, but I haven’t received it till now.

Now They have sent a mail that your Candidature is on hold. Is this happened with anyone else also.

Please do suggest on this guys.
