First off, I did a test layout after receiving a call to come in for an interview. The position I was interviewing for was initially the 'Art Director' position. After having about a 30 minute interview, where I felt very little of my portfolio and work was actually looked at. Besides that what struck me as odd, and I should have trusted my gut, was that no actual person from the art department was involved in my interview process, ever. What then bothered me a little more was doing a test layout for free, with no guarantee of a job or payment. I was brought in for a second interview with the publishers. Besides being publishers neither the husband and wife were ever writers or involved in art. Yet, they had me redo the test layout again for free. I had several red flags going off at this point. I was then also told only at my second interview that they were interviewing for two positions. Their current senior art director was leaving after their associate had already left two months prior. So I was still never told about what type of person they were looking for to step in. If we were both art directors or what the titles were. When asked about money I went with a below average salary for that type of position and my experience. When offered the job they were five grand short of what I had even asked for and set as a minimum. At this point I thought the job might hold more promise based on what the editor told me I would be doing and what my position involved, yet still no definitive title.
