Darian, If you're doing editing for peers, one can assume then that you are the one in the office with "strong writing skills".
In general when I've interviewed applicants where this was a requirement I've had them write a short paper on a particular topic, say a memo or whitepaper on an issue that the CIO or CEO may have interest in. I then gauge what they sent me on the basis of grammer, spelling and finally presentation. In other words, did the document look like something that would/should be presented to "C" level mgmt. Hope this helps.
