Re: [Avid-L2] [OT] - job search conundrum

 

I have done two "tryouts" for potential jobs, and for each I asked them if I could come work for a couple of days. Both were sessions for which they were to be paid, so they paid me my freelance rate. Never got a blip of pushback, and I received offers from both companies. 

Different situation from yours, obviously, but I think if they had simply asked me to come audition on a previously completed project, I probably would have done it for travel expenses (this was in linear days and several states away from my home) since I was out of work at the time. As long as it doesn't cost you anything significant, you might go ahead and do it.

Sounds like a tryout to me. If its something they already had cut, it seems they want to compare your output to theirs. Just to see if you match their style. I don't think you're giving anything away. Although it does seem like something that should only take a day, but that depends on how complex of a tryout it is.
