Re: Examining proficiency of job applicants in FrameMaker
I got a job once on the basis of a somewhat similar test. I was given a site visit report written by an engineer and asked to edit it. Superficially, there were enough grammatical and stylistic errors that I could have spent the hour red-lining it without getting through the whole thing. Instead, about a minute into that exercise, I realized the document needed a complete rewrite to organize it into something coherent and useful. I struck a red line through the entire document and (because I was in an otherwise empty conference room with no computer), rewrote it longhand on a legal pad. It turned out that this is what the hiring manager had been hoping someone would do. A key, I think, is not revealing the true agenda if you give such a test. --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses at mail.fiam.net] References:
