In this case, given the choice, i'd just have opted to do a few more interviews rather than investing a week in a work trial. I was burning through my savings due to being unemployed for ages, so exchanging a week of my time for a charitable donation wasn't really on the cards -- i've no doubt they would have done that if i'd asked. Not to mention that I now consider mandatory work trials to be an unethical practice. The stress of an interview, but stretched to last an entire week. A week where you feel you can't make any mistakes. I'll never do another one, it's not worth it.
