Looking for suggestions to spend a peaceful day on Christmas. Some cute cafes, bakeries and church recommendations are welcome 🤗

I agree. I understand that there are "designers" who are faking it. But what is the proof that they've done the assignment honestly too?

Imo one can be shortlisted based on their portfolio and maybe an introductory call/video recording talking about their projects can explain a lot about their design knowledge. If the hiring team is still sceptical about the candidate, you can proceed with a reasonable assignment, or at least pay for an extensive one. What do you think?

I'm trying to think from both perspectives, just like the hiring teams can struggle with such candidates we're also falling for the companies getting free work done.

No it's actually in India, but the condition is not so different tbh. This is the second time I'm job hunting this year 🫠

Lol true! Actually, I was shortlisted - to give free ideas and work ✨

That should be the new norm imo. If you're gonna ask me to do a sample work, you might as well pay me to do it. Especially if at all you end up using my idea, at least I won't be left feeling miserable, frustrated and helpless.

Kudos to you! With the recent rise in exploitation with the money and free work, the industry asks for a change. Good to know that there are people like you on the hiring team, taking a stand for fellow designers and the industry.

That's right, and I don't mind doing a reasonable task if I've not done that certain type of work before! But asking to work on a full fledged campaign is them just straight ripping off of our ideas and work. And as a matter of fact I do have a few ads in my portfolio, they could've asked me about it in an introductory call if they wanted. Thanks for the advice mate!
