So I applied for a position as a writer/editor. Part-time with the potential to go to full-time. Now, I'm definitely not in need of the position but am looking for something to give me a little extra cash.
I'm asked to complete a “short editing assignment” to determine my editing skills. The “short editing assignment” is editing an entire 1500-word article, which is most definitely not a short editing assignment. I make sure to do my best work always, and a 1500-word article to fully edit would take me anywhere from 3 to 4 hours to do properly and correctly. Plus doing it without knowing how my work will be used and without proper compensation?
No thank you.
