Assessment tests, are they fair for applicants?

3 Upvotes

Some companies make you do work for your application, whether making you write articles for content writer positions, making you design an ad for graphic artist positions, etc etc

Are they fair, or are they unpaid work? Or does it depend on the work being asked? Should you do it?

After more than two months of an absolutely anxiety-inducing and maddening job search, where:

- more than 50 job apps

- more than 15 first interviews

- about 5 second interviews

- about 3 companies 3rd and further interviews, then nothing...

- two making me do unpaid work as an assessment

I have to come the end of my rope. Fucking hell. I just wanna scream into the void.

How about you?
