I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Merlin Edge (Calgary, AB) in Nov 2019
Interview
It was a cold call telephone interview. They called me and made their corporate pitch to me and asked me a few questions about my experience and general approach to creative and strategic design. The interviewer sounded very keen to get me in to meet his partner. Then, following the phonecall, I received an email asking me if I would be willing to come in and perform a "Design creativity test".
I replied that I do not design for spec and for subjective judgement. I design to solve marketing problems and my portfolio (which they already had seen online) was evidence of my creativity and success.
I never heard back from them. I think they are trolling for hungry creatives to use and abuse.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would I be willing to come in and perform a "Design creativity test" on some unspecified project they gave to me?
