Re: Regarding tests

[Steve English <ink -at- MICROS -dot- COM>]

Vincent Reh asked,

Would the expectations be clearer for someone with documentation experience?



No.

Step 1 of the "documentation experience" is to DEFINE THE AUDIENCE.

Since your proctor refused to do this, the test was either:

    1. A badly designed test given by people who don't know much about
       writing (or testing!) themselves, or

    2. Some kind of stupid psychological study to see if you would be
       assertive and insist on an audience definition.

Either way, you're better off not working there.
