imo this should exist alongside interviewing and a variety of other methods for proving your potential to an employer. Also, if you make it two months, you double your money. It's …

Agreed, the reaction to this idea blew me away. The problem of hiring is accurately signaling fitness for a job. Job hunters should have a variety of ways to do this - interviewing…
