I applied for the position only for them to reach out via email that they want to move forward with me as a candidate and sent an Update: we have decided to start out this role part-time. They also requested FREE WORK to move forward as a candidate by requesting the following: 1) Recreate production level files of the stick figure in our logo 2) Generate alternatives for our logo 3) Recreate the 2 attachments to this email (2 Flyers) Companies requesting UNPAID GRAPHIC DESIGN WORK IN 2024 is a huge RED FLAG. These people are taking advantage of designers that don't know any better. There is no guarantee that you will be chosen or get paid for ANY unpaid spec work. Looks like another candidate was ghosted as well. These companies need to do better.
