Re: Tests for a Contract TWing Opp.

Take the test. Where's the harm?

If you do well, good for you. If you don't, and that's the only way to
impress that particular recruiter, hey, you took a shot.

I took timed writing and logic tests to get my first job, and was told
that my work on those tests was a big part of how I won the job. So I'm
prejudiced.

I don't see the whole "it's an affront to me" thing. We have to do all
sorts of less-than-palatable things to get jobs, and to *keep* those jobs.
Taking a test is like wearing a suit to an interview: it's a pain, but may
be a necessary evil.

And I don't know about you, but some of the assignments and deadlines I've
been given have been far more annoying than a couple hours spent doing a
test to impress somebody who could potentially hook me up with a better
job. I daresay most of us who are working deal with similar or worse
"affronts" almost daily. That's why we don't do this stuff for free.

A test might lead you to a great job and/or more money. I'd take it in a
heartbeat.
