Yeah I recently was asked to redesign and develop the following site for a job prospect.

http://www.publicsafety800mhzinterference.com/CTIAWeb/

I never heard back from the company! It was 3 days of work and that was only my 1st attempt. I guess it sucked horribly....

Oh may be they are not the hacker news reading type :). Some large enterprises still wants slideshows and case studies with a link to white paper downloads filling the home page with less reference to what exactly you are doing!

who knows yet the site has one purposes only to report interference and they do have a button on their homepage to do that. Thus, I empathized the main purpose with as little text as possible and a bright purple button.

It would have been nice of the company to get back to me, but yeah Im unlikely going to ever do post interview homework again.

hmm, it sucks when there is no proper follow up. I guess it's the competition nowadays.. companies get flooded with resumes.

Thanks for the upvotes. Though makes me wonder if indeed my first design draft was no good when comparing the old to the new?
