Round: Test
Experience: There were 3 interview rounds in all, out of which the first round was the written round. The main purpose of the written round was to check the interviewee's communication and grammatical skills. Apart from the communication and grammatical expertise, they also wanted somebody with strong skills in editing and proofreading the document. Therefore the written round was a combination of 3 sub-tests, inclusive of article writing, document editing which included writing the summary for quite a lengthy document (approx. 10 pages) and document formatting.
Tips: The tips that I will specifically suggest for this round are as follows:
1) The candidate applying for the above position should have good hands-on on the editing and formatting of a word document.
2) Strong vocabulary shall prove to be advantageous.
