As a freelance mobile designer/developer, fuck that shit.

I'd never answer a giant list of "interview questions" and certainly wouldn't complete a "Hello World" task for a short-term, low four-figure job. I can show you live apps I've already built; if that's not good enough, we don't have anything else to discuss. (Side note: "creating/delivering your app’s icon" = spec work! NOOOOPE.)

Jobs like these are the ones that drag down the mobile marketplace. Shit apps made for shit pay by developers willing to work for table scraps. Good icon development is an art. Check out the work by The Iconfactory, for example. The fact that the employer treats it like an also-ran is another gigantic red flag.

"Disqualify anyone who is not willing to jump on a Skype call." For a short-term, low-paying job? You want me to break the flow of my day and blow an hour of my time on maybe satisfying your absurd needs? I'll disqualify you, brah.

(Sorry to rant, but, I just feel like we should all have more self-respect than to take jobs like that.)
