TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've had great managers in the past, and I'd feel comfortable with most managers reviewing a writing test. There are a handful whose preconceived (and ill-conceived) ideas about writing could be a problem, though. I'd hope the reviewer could identify quality documentation.
Generally, I like to know that I'm going to take a test before I get to the interview. In a former life, I had a job interview with a surprise chemistry test. Not a nice surprise.
