True, this one cost me $135 which is pocket change for most of you, a lot of money for me.

This problem increases when the candidate is a contractor. You are missing
out on several hours of paid work to write silly tests about peanut butter
and jelly. Really people! I calculated that one interview that included
tests cost me $120 in lost wages.


Several pockets really. It's no small matter. A writing test should not take more than 30 minutes. The test should exercise your knowledge and abilities not monopolize your time.

Tests should be designed, not pulled out of some dark place where the sun doesn't shine.

And there should be universal peace and tolerance and everyone should be nice to one another.

Another utopian dream.
