I think that’s considered spec work, and what she just did is illegal. She might have to compensate everyone she interviewed.

yup, multiple times, at large well known companies that asked me to create and present full strategic plans as part of the "interview process". It felt shady, I simply refused

We’re just trying to feed our families. We’re putting our lives on those interviews.

I met a woman who was preparing for her SIXTH interview. She was working on a beautiful pitch deck without a job yet. I was shocked. She worried this was happening to her.

More times than I can count . In marketing most of them want the design and consulting as a test project ... that takes 60 hours to do

“Free Consultatants” have been taught in MBA schools for the past 40 years worst kept secret in senior management. Prey on the desperate.

this is corporate abuse & most companies do it; I no longer do unpaid homeworks / tests; let’s normalize invoicing

Yea I did this for Uber. They asked me to do an entire problem statement that was essentially a new business line they were launching

I’ve been asked multiple times to create free designs for companies with zero context or a style guide. I refuse now unless I’m paid.

companies need to start paying for interviews by the hour. 3 rounds to get a reject is a huge waste of time.

100% agree! I’ve had some want full blown proposals and outlines of what I’d do with details, which I quickly declined. LOL 🤔

Every interview that requires a ‘task’ or presentation is free consulting. I’m tired.

I had a company ask me how I’d solve a very specific problem they had. I told them how I had fixed that exact problem 2 years prior. Then I got a follow up email that I was not strategic enough.

Yep! I got earlier on in my career in consulting. They never signed up and ran the strategies on their own.
