你被要求做一個工作試用。現在怎麼辦？

有時你很想得到一份工作，你會為了得到它而做任何事情。但是，“工作試用”，你在哪裡做一個項目來證明你的技能呢？

如果這個項目不超過兩個小時，這是一個公平的要求。（不止是無薪諮詢。）但是要確保告訴招聘經理你在上面花了多長時間，這樣他們才能把你的工作與他人的進行比較。

於一個需要投入大量時間的試用，你可以試著把它當作Freelancer來處理，並協商時薪工資。傳達你有多麼興奮的機會可以幫助公司同意這種做法。記住工作面試是瞭解公司的一個好方法。如果你不喜歡被要求做的工作，或者你被要求這樣做的話，那是很好的資訊。

You’ve Been Asked to Do a Job Audition. Now What?

Sometimes you want a job so badly that you’d do anything to get it. But what about a “job audition,” where you work on a project to demonstrate your skills?

If the project will take you no more than two hours, it’s a fair request. (More than that is unpaid consulting.) But make sure you tell the hiring manager how long you spent on it, so they have context to compare your work with others’.

For an audition that requires a deep investment of your time, you may try to treat it as freelance work and negotiate an hourly rate. Conveying how excited you are by the opportunity can help the company agree to this approach. And keep in mind that job auditions can be a great way to learn about the company. If you don’t like the work you’re asked to do, or the way you’re asked to do it, that’s good information to have.
