I’m interviewing for a company that is asking me to complete a project as part of the interview process. I want to send them a contract to ensure the work I produce won’t be used by the company (they’ve already agreed to signing something), but since I’ve never drafted anything like this I don’t know where to start. Does anyone know of any good resources/templates for this sort of thing?

Make sure they pay you for the time you spend on the project. Even if it’s a test. Work is work, even if it’s for an interview.

That’s not going to happen and probably lucky they are signing the doc that says they won’t use it

I wouldn’t even do it if it were paid. Move on, find a real booking elsewhere, you’re better than this.

It’s important to ask for compensation so companies stop doing this awful practice. Specially for more senior levels it’s just awful.

I would instead insist on payment for your time. A company that expects you to create work for them for free (especially if it's the type of project where it sounds like they could be able to use your work for free!) sounds like a company that devalues design work.

So, I'm happy at my current job and have been there about 18 months. Our pay is probably 15% below market (AmLaw 100) but so are our billable requirements. An interview for another firm kind of fell into my lap, and I'm debating whether to take it just for the sake of seeing what market really is. Is there something shady about interviewing somewhere you're not totally committed to accepting an offer from?
