Nervous but hopeful

[redbird]

I get to take an editing test today--they're going to send me the stuff at 2 and want it back at 3:30. I think, and hope, this isn't just an attempt to get lots of people to each do one day's work for free. I suspect part of what's going on is that they want to be sure the person they hire can handle the fast turnaround they're going to need.

Here's hoping it -isn't- a scam and leads to more work.

Though, man, oh, man, would the other thing be a clever scam in a job-poor market -- a really nasty, evil way to translate "we have an opening" into free labor.

I'm kinda curious of what laws are against it -- I'd guess fraud (especially if they never actually hire someone), not sure what else.
