Last job search, I was given the best tech writing
test I'd ever taken. Before I met with the senior
engineer and the software architect, I was told to
take notes because I would use the notes in my writing
test. What I had to do was write a general description
of the product and the procedure for using a feature
that they explained in depth. They had me do so on
paper, but what about a test like that, only using
Frame instead?
