I applied for the associate Commerce Editor position at Bustle. I was first contacted for a quick phone interview with the hiring manager, which went well. She then sent me an edit test--I cannot over-emphasize how inappropriately enormous this thing was. It took many, many hours of unpaid labor and was due at a very quick turnover. I sent it in and literally heard nothing--never even confirmation that the assignment had been received. I followed up twice and have heard radio silence. It's fine that I didn't get the position (or even an in-person interview) but just to be ghosted after investing so much time into an assignment is pretty tacky.
