      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at J. Crew (New York, NY) in June 2023

      Interview

      Beware designers who are interested in applying for a job opportunity. Initially, you will receive an invitation for an interview from their HR department, along with a brief job description. You are instructed to contact and send a message to their HR manager in a job description brief which they provide in the email to start the interview. During the interview with their HR manager, they will conduct an introductory interview. Regardless of your responses, they will eventually mention that you qualify for the second phase even though without reading the answer you respond to the questions they asked in the first interview phase, The next phase is a test assessment. This assessment involves real tasks such as designing a logo or packaging. Before commencing the test assessment, they will inform you that you need to purchase the necessary artwork. They also claim that regardless of the outcome, they will acquire the rights to your work. This situation can be concerning for designers who are applying, as it seems exploitative. To make matters worse, they proceed to scam you by asking you to purchase artwork from a website proposed by their creative director. This step is mandatory according to their technical assessment requirement. After you make the purchase and submit the design and the technical assessment, they disappear without fulfilling their promises. In conclusion, I strongly advise everyone to exercise caution when dealing with job opportunities from this source. It seems to be a well-organized scam that targets unsuspecting designers and wastes their time and money. Protect yourself from these scammers and be vigilant before applying.
