The interview began normal enough with a screening interview with HR. It went well, I met most of the qualifications and I was told I'd progress to the second of three interviews with the hiring manager – but not before I completed a test task, upon which I 'might' get selected for a second interview. Though I do so begrudgingly, as test tasks have become an increasingly standard requirement of recruitment these days, I accepted the terms from HR and asked for the test task. What does this company think they are? NASA? The test task was an easy TWO WEEKS worth of unpaid work for a mid-level Email Marketing Manager role. I stated as such in my reply, said I'd be willing to speak to the hiring manager without the need to complete this absurd test 'project,' and that I'd let my 10 years of experience speak for itself. Naturally, I did not receive any further communication from HR.
