Employer's Test, was Technical Writer Certification

[Chris Borokowski]

My only piece of advice here is something I learned from an old
contract developer. When you go in for the interview, make sure to
screw up a trivial thing at the beginning of the interview, like having
a price tag still on your pants or misidentifying the street name you
took to get there.

If they ignore the error or make too big of a deal about it, they may
be focused more on personality than the job itself.

If they can correct the error with grace, this is someone who is both
focused on the task and cares about people.

I'm not sure how true any of this is, but I thought it interesting
enough to remember (15 years later).
