[thelist] Interviewing Process

[David Siedband]

This is called "designing on spec" and is generally an excellent way to 
get ripped off.

If you are asked to provide usable work, you should get paid for it at 
your freelance rate.

Even if they don't take your work product they may benefit from your 
problem solving.

a good treatment of this subject:
