Expecting job candidates and interviewees to act as volunteer consultants is ridiculous, and perhaps one way to stop that practice is by making it clear that payment is expected for services rendered.

I had to do homework for a job i applied to a couple years ago - essentially had to draft a response to a demand letter. Big company in town. Im a lawyer by trade with the same specialties they were looking for. over 5 years experience. This wasnt even a law job, it was job they would like to have a lawyer in (and not pay law wages)
I couldnt believe i had to prove i knew how to draft a letter. I called my old firm, got them to send me a copy of a letter and copy and pasted it.
I ended up taking that job and left within 6 months. Absolutely no trust from management in even the most minor responsibilities. I shouldve known from the homework....
