Test assignment for a tech.writer candidate?

[Alec Chakenov <alec -dot- chakenov -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hi everyone,
If you had experience with hiring technical writers, what kind of test
assignment would you recommend to assess technical writing skills?
At one software company I was tasked with writing a help article about how
to use an elevator. I thought that was so irrelevant and did not want to
proceed with them.
