    I don't understand this practice of 'testing' to get a job.

    Are there any other professions that after you've interviewed they ask you to perform a test to see if you're a right fit?

    Do surgeons need to perform a 'test surgery' to see if they'll fit in at the next may0 clinic?

    Do CEO's need to start up 'test companies' when stepping into office at the next company?

    And what about other positions in the design industry? Do potential CD's get asked to 'test manage and direct' a teams of employees? Do AD's get asked to 'test brainstorm and art direct for large accounts'?

    What a load of horse shit. If your experience, folio and demeanor aren't enough to sell them on your value to their company tell them to go fuck themselves.

    • oh come on this sounds like a tiny company who cant afford to absorb the wrong decisionckentish
    • designers are not surgeons or CEOs - very low scale unfortunately. Sigh.ckentish
    • If restaurant was hiring a new (one and only) chef, they'd ask for sampleslocustsloth
    • So any service-related industry should have a testing process for new hires? Is that what we're saying? C'mon people.d_rek
