TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I was quite interested in the thread about writing tests. Two comments in
particular caught my eye.
Geoff Hart suggested, "Then pay them for their time. (Honestly... US$25-$50
is trivial.)"
and John Posada asked, "Really? And they do it? Without billing you for
creating a deliverable?"
I've never taken a test during an interview, but if I did, I can't imagine
asking (or expecting) to be paid for it. Has anyone ever been paid for
taking such a test? Is that a common thing?
