where someone said:

They contacted me for big ongoing jobs. They wanted a free test of 500 (!!!) words, and only then would we talk about rates, t&c. As a rule, I do not do any tests, and if by exception I do one, then only if rates and t&c are agreed upon up front and ok. During several mails, impossible to get any details on what I wanted to know. Only talking about Christian life, help, understanding, christian love etc. The so-called "PM" were particularly blue-eyed and very Christian .... in their interest. In fact, they are looking for religious people working for nothing and filling the pockets of their "Christian" leader.

They have contacted me three times over the past 7 or 8 years. After initially filling in some lengthy CV and providing samples, I forget why we didn't start work. The second time I said I wasn't prepared to do 500 words for free, but only 300, and that, before delivering, I wanted some assurance they were willing to pay my minimum line rate. They then simply they dropped me. Now a new project coordinator, new request. I guess that by soliciting 500 words for free from every applicant, they ... See more
