I applied online. I interviewed at Jerry (Detroit, MI) in Jun 2021
Interview
Before even interviewing me, they sent me both a writing and an editing assignment. That's a huge red flag to me because it's inherently unfair. They're asking me to invest my time and talent in them without even giving me the courtesy of an interview. Is "startup" short for "no manners"?

Question 1
I got an offer to write two assignments before even getting an interview. I declined that lovely invitation. Life is too short - thanks COVID for that lesson!
