First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Rebel Athletic.
Fashion Designer
Before any direct contact or initial interview rounds, they required project submissions using Adobe Illustrator. This was communicated via an automated email, without a personal request for this unsolicited work. Despite applying for two positions and dedicating several days to complete both projects by the deadline, there was no follow-up communication.
- Complete project on Adobe Illustrator
Pricing Assistant
The interview lasted for an hour and covered general information and understanding of the position and pricing. It started with an introduction to the company and the role. Three interviewers were present. The questions were not difficult and the conversation was easy.
- Can you share your insights on pricing strategy?
Creative Designer
I applied online. I got a generic response saying I needed to submit a design test to continue. RED FLAG. While design tests are normal, requiring one before an initial interview is distasteful and unethical. They ignored me when I followed up and didn't even address the request to me personally, which suggests they send many requests. Not a good look.
- Here is a project in Adobe Illustrator I would like you to complete so the hiring managers can get an idea of how you work. Should it match their requirements, I will reach out to schedule an in-person interview. Project #1: You will be designing 3 couture cheerleading uniforms, using whatever fit you would like (i.e. crop, full-length, hotpant, skirt, bodysuit, leggings.) You can incorporate crystals, cutouts, dye-sublimation, or any creative techniques that would work well in the cheerleading industry. Be as creative and imaginative as you'd like with these uniforms, while keeping some functionality in mind, and being aware whatever you design would have to be able to be produced. You may come up with new logos, or you can use “Rebel" for your logo.
- Project #2: Please create 3 examples of graphic patterns that could be incorporated into a dye-sublimated cheerleading uniform. We are looking for edgy and dynamic graphics. Please make one of these patterns a 4"x4" seamless repeat. This repeat pattern should be able to be used to fill a large area seamlessly without any breaks or glitches in graphics. These projects will need to be done in Adobe Illustrator, and I have attached our base template to use. Be as creative and unique as you can be with these projects. Do not feel limited. I highly suggest browsing through our look book and website to get a feel for the "Rebel Look."
Designer
So the company emailed me and asked for a project BEFORE even a first interview. And IF they liked it they would schedule an interview. I have never in my life heard of a company asking for a project before even having an interview to know the candidate. I would advise you to never do a project before any proof of an interview. That is free work!
- Complete this Adobe Illustrator project with 3 full designs and 3 graphic patterns so the hiring managers can get an idea of how you work. If it matches their requirements, I will reach out to schedule an in-person interview.
