Today, I went for a job briefing, and after that was told to do some editing for them. When I asked the person whether I was paid for the day, she laughed and said no. She was serious. FML

you could always write it off on your resume as volunteer work if you didn't get the job. other future employers will eat that sh*t up.

that is a screening tool for recruitment and selection...... realistic job previews. You do the job for the day and management and staff choose the person they think they would work the best with

at least OP didn't get executed for spitting on the side walk. I read about that in an AOL email, so it's true right? yes?

it simply sounds like they wanted to test out your skills, unpaid tests or training like that is pretty common

Well if i were you i would have checked first to see if they pay and anyway, how much were they going to pay you? 50USD? That's not that much, and if they were impressed by your work then you might have got the job. Did you get the job?

Actually, job shadow days are becoming more common. But legally, you are not allowed to perform any work. YDI.

Where I live you also get paid for such a tryout-day. But that could be different in Singapore of course.
