DON'T DO FREE DESIGN ASSIGNMENTS Applied for a Senior Graphic Designer role through Indeed. There was no phone screening or interview process, but I was asked directly to complete a design assignment for a homepage banner for the SoftMoc website. They asked me to resend my portfolio even though it had already been included with my application, including the unpaid assignment they had given me. I sent everything again the very next day, but after that I never received any response, even after following up multiple times. COMPLETELY GHOSTED ME. The experience felt unprofessional and raises concerns about whether the company is genuinely hiring or simply collecting free design work from applicants. Designers should be cautious about completing unpaid assignments without any proper interview process or communication.
