I'd run ... they're trying to get work done for free. I've had it happen too many times to not recognize what's going on.
If each task is pretty much the same, and you did the first one in a way that sufficiently demonstrates what you can do, it's ridiculous to spend any more time doing the rest. If they can't get a good feel for your skills from the first of 3 similar tasks, then they've got major cranial-rectal issues OR are just trying to get some freelance work for no compensation. I understand design work is a little different from programming pitches, but I wouldn't feel comfortable offering to create something on request when I haven't even won the client/job yet, just to demonstrate that I can do it -- especially if what they request is exactly what they're hiring me to do. Anyone in a hiring position, who knows what they're doing, should be able to get a good feel for my skills by looking at what I've ALREADY done for other clients. In the rare instance that I did create something on demand, there's no way I'd turn over the source files if I could help it until I was officially hired. > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Paul Ihrig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "CF-Community" <[email protected]> > > Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 9:57 AM > > Subject: interview - additional work > > > > > > > so i went to an interview last Friday for a online course ware / flash > > > position. > > > pretty simple stuff. > > > > > > i tell them if there is any thing specific they want to see to let me > > > know and i can whip it up for them. > > > > > > then Friday night they send me a word doc storyboard. > > > no biggy, i knock it out and send it back, they write back saying that > > > it is a 5 page 3 task doc. > > > i only did the first task, which took 3 hours. > > > > > > they are all basic animation, rollover type screen.. > > > i think its silly to spend any more time on it. > > > if they cant tell what i can do from the first task, and my own online > > > example then they are just getting free design work? > > > > > > any ideas? > > > > > > -paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:243503 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
