In many architectural and engineering companies where CAD drafting is a core part of the job, the interview will often end with a drafting test.
You are given a plan or even a set of requirements and are given typically 15-30 minutes to complete/get as far as you can.
This is important because someone may speak well etc - but when it comes to actually completing work (which is typically done by billable hours) some people just wont have the speed or skill to produce the work product.
- joe_the_user 16y agoI would feel much better with a test at the end of an interview, once I know the interviewer has put in some effort seeing if I'm a fit in other ways, than a test merely to get the interview. Sure, tests are very logical as a filter if people are just resources to be filtered. If you expect to have a personal relationship with me, as a person, though, starting that relationship with indication that I'm just a resource is not good. This seems especially important in startup where you want to like your fellow teammates. Reciprocation is an important part of liking - psychologists say so!
