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.
Does anyone out there have any idea of why this technique isn't used more
frequently? It seems strange to me that most interviewers ask questions that
they have no right to ask and which have no clearly provable relationship to
the positions for which they are hiring (for example, "where do you see
yourself in five years?") but will not give, for example, a simple,
five-minute test on revision. What is up with this?

. . . ask specific technical questions about it.
