  1. Not that I have any creative skills like a baker, musician, wedding planner, etc - but I guess I now know kind of what it is like to be asked to work for FREE 'for the exposure'

    (At least it wasn't by an 'influencer' or the like... 🀣 πŸ€ͺ )

    To paraphrase the NewSpeak in the email: "Help us pitch to the possible client on your own time, we might get back to you if we get some work, and you MIGHT then be selected... but no promises of course..." 😁 πŸ˜›

    They would also seem to be inaccurately representing their technical expertise to their potential client as well, under the guise they would say - I am sure - of 'staffing up'...

    [note that I am NOT currently looking for work, this just turned up in my In Box...]
