I don't want to be judged solely by showing my past work or my education or employment history. People use edited clippings as writing samples, right? WTH is that, there's all levels of editing and some can make crap into something good. I want to be locked in a room (after coronavirus) with a bunch of "more qualified" candidates where we'll be tested. Give us something of 5-10 pages to summarize in half the pages (non-fiction), or to edit substantially if we see fit (I'm not a grammar expert and I'm not claiming I'd be best at that). I'd want all day though. They should serve lunch in that same room. I'd even do two days in the room if bedding is supplied. I'd want to be graded by more than one expert. Preferably they wouldn't consult with each other. I know that panels of judges in court try to get their opinions to concur with each other but I'm looking for accurate opinions, not the lack of controversy.
The NY Academy of Science had a writing test for interns. I'd love that, but I can't be an intern. I'd take one just to be considered as a volunteer though, then they'd see more of my work if I'm allowed to volunteer and I'd at least have a reference.
Anyone know of other organizations that give writing tests for writing jobs?
