What is a test of word processing skills?
I need a short test to assess a job applicant's word processing skills. I
would prefer a short typing test on the computer which would show how they format, edit and proof documents. |

Off-topic for this newsgroup. Try google. Not sure the term "typing test"
will be the best keyword. However, you should probably look around your office for something you might ask them to do in the job, and see how they do it.

What is a test of word processing skills?
Hi VVS
For what it's worth, I have often asked people in an interview if they prepared their own job application. Everyone always says yes. So then I show them their application and ask them how they did it. For example, how they created the bullets, or the page numbering, or the headings or some such. It takes about 30 seconds to learn whether the person really knows how to use the word processor. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
