Glad I didn't end up working for someone who expected immediate compliance without question. Thought the process and employees I interacted with via interview were extremely kind so I was caught off-guard by the complete 180. In short, I feel giving me an offer then rescinding it because I wasn't eager to accept without considering the terms was extremely unprofessional.
Despite attempting to clarify the situation that I only asked for a later start date because he seemed to encourage me to and was merely asking if wage was negotiable, he revoked the offer without allowing for a phone call between us. When I reached out to follow-up, Jack notified me that this wasn't going to work out because he had a "bad feeling" when I didn't immediately accept, asked for a later start date, and asked whether wage was negotiable. I didn't receive a response for a few days. I also asked whether wage was negotiable. Book recommendations, author interviews, editors picks. I emailed him a proposed start date within the time frame he allowed. Comic Creators Syndicate Presents Syndication, An Anthology Single Issue Magazine Janu. Gave me time to consider when I'd like to start because he wanted me to be rested and prepared. I proposed a date and he asked if I thought I'd be ready to work.
Received offer and Jack asked when I'd like to start. Since then, Creators has represented more than 250 of the most talented writers and artists in the world. Interview Editing test, Phone call with Jack Newcombe, then on-site interview with three rounds. In 1987, Creators was founded as an independent media and syndication company.
