Finding a new job is a wild process. You just have to throw out as many darts as possible, hoping you hit something. And then when someone does return your email, you have to parse out if this company is legit, and not just trying to fleece you. It's a process, but most of us have to deal with it.

It happens all the time. A job application requires you to complete some "sample" work for them, then they just ghost you, turn around and use your work anyway. It's a great way to use desperate people as a source of free labor, and it's extremely frustrating as an applicant. But this guy had another idea planned when this law firm used his "sample" work for a case they were working on. And through some tremendously savvy lawyering tactics, the dude managed to bill the shady bastards for his trouble.
