No way
No no no
Tough Mudder (fuck your I’m naming names) wanted sample tag lines, photo album descriptions, etc for a part time freelancer gig. All in all work I’d bill a client probably 20 hours for, if I rushed, that they would technically own.
Nope‘d out of that one real quick.
No. There should be enough evidence in your experience and portfolio - I feel like some companies want free ideas. Pay for play.
No fucking way! Your portfolio and interview should be enough
Fuck that
Nope.
that is how i feel, but i wonder if the market is changing and there’s just that much more competition that people WILL do that. also how do you tell the interviewer that in a polite way?
Starts ups and tech companies may make you perform a design test at low levels or a presentation for more senior roles. Only encountered one in the agency world but that place was pretty shit anyway
If the "test" is related to actual work that will be done, yay. Interview process goes both ways and the candidate should def have the best idea possible of what they are getting into. If it's for exhibition or "prove you can do what you say you can" purposes, then big NAY.
Also, as long as the test isn't a "spec work" equivalent of being hired...
