Editing results

Day before yesterday I had appeared for an interview. They had two tests. One multiple choice and the other an article which was needed to be edited. The multiple choice went well, but the second one editing an article did not go as expected. I think sometimes that I went without preparation for such a test.

When they handed me the article I was surprised to receive because I did not expect them to straight away give an article. That must have been their procedure.

Today when I called them back to know the results I was told that I wasn't selected the reason being that the article was not edited to their benchmarking standards. I need to put my nose down if I must succeed in the forthcoming interviews.

Be Editor

Today I had an interview in one of the company which promises to be a good place for editor and editorship. The first test had 60 questions while the other one was one page column which needed editing.

The first test went well, the second test also went well but not that good. I was actually shocked when they gave me a word document and directly told me to edit it. The column could have been simplified but a simple language will make the subject non-technical. Also, I was told that my goal must not be to compress the column but just to find any major and minor suitable errors in it.

I hope that they will give their feedback by next week.
