Subject:interview at IBM From:Philip Fry <philfry -at- GBD -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 13 Feb 1997 13:38:00 PST
Hello all!
A sort of question/statement: In two weeks, I have an interview at IBM
Canada (in North York) for a Tech Writer position in the Information
Development department (yay!!).
I just wanted to find out, from anyone working at IBM or at any other
big company, what to expect from the aptitude test I'm supposed to
take after my interview. Apparently it's about an hour and a half long.
I'm not trying to cheat here (:-); I'd just like to know how to prepare for
it. I think the test'll determine if I have a second interview later in the
afternoon on the day of my test and first interview.
If any of you have gone through an aptitude test for a Tech Writer job,
at IBM or otherwise, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks!!
Jacqueline Fry
