So I took a math and grammar/spelling test at a temp agency today.

Posted by Dano (aka dano) Dec 2 '10, 09:38

In the grammar/spelling part they had a paragraph where you had to find and correct errors. They told you that there were ten of them. There were ten blatantly obvious errors, and one more subtle error that had to do with pronoun agreement across two clauses. The question is, Should I have corrected the subtle error?

Responses:

That's a really good question. For a temp agency, I say no. If an individual business is giving it, I might correct it. -- nm - mara Dec 2, 09:40
I will disagree and say no ... if they don't know about it, they might think you're wrong. -- nm - loosilu Dec 2, 09:40 1
- That's what I did. I assumed that someone will just grade it from a key. They're not going to discuss it with me. -- nm - Dano Dec 2, 09:40

Sure, maybe they would have given you a job in their office -- nm - amoxy Dec 2, 09:38
Yes. -- nm - TWuG Dec 2, 09:38
