Recently applied to a marketing job that’s a bit below my pay and experience level but after being laid off, I can’t be too picky.
However this job pays a little over $50k expecting manager type responsibilities but with mid-level/entry pay expecting 50 hours a week. I calculated that to about $21.54 an hour before taxes. EVEN with all of this, I considered it bc I’m a bit desperate.
But the kicker?? They asked for 3 pieces of work for their company (they “promised” they wouldn’t use the work) before even having a single interview to see your work… as opposed to just asking for a portfolio.
What?!
I have to do work before even being remotely considered? Do work before having any information from them or knowing what they’d want to change from their last strategy? Create something and just hope they don’t take it or modify just enough and all this for free?
I hate it here.
