Many people seem comfortable allowing their companies to treat them as low value commodities and will do anything asked of them.
In general I don’t exactly think like this. I do the work within the scope of what I’ve been hired to do. I’m lucky, at least right now, that I have this choice because my skills are somewhat rare. Want work outside the scope of what I’ve been hired to do? Pay for it, or find someone else.
I don’t want to be asked to interview again, it’s not a pleasant experience for me, and critically it’s being presented as “something you have to do”. If you want to do this, offer additional compensation for doing something outside of the scope of my work.
- dx034 9y agoI think a good work environment (and that includes competent coworkers) is in everyone's interest. What if you can take the test but the employer doesn't know the result? I'd trust my employer enough not to use interview questions as my performance evaluation. If you don't, the level of trust appears to be very low.

- comstock 9y agoPersonally I think interviewees should be financially compensated for interviews. The typical view is that they’re being compensated with a “chance for a job”.
