So, we're hiring a new webmaster here at work
and I was tasked with producing a simple
technical test. The person is supposed to have
two years experience as a web dev. There's three
parts: html, css, and webmaster questions. What
do you think?
(bonus: I'll tell you what my manager thought)
I hate test like that and probably wouldn't take
it. It doesn't give you any indication of the
persons abilities and is more likely to show your
own shortcomings.
I would rather ask a simple question like "Impress me" and listen.
If has online work, then have him show it.
If he has a list of past clients, then supply the urls.
But then again, you have to know enough to know
how to judge what's correct and current.
Instead, why not instead hire one of us to
interview your candidates? For those of us who
know, it's pretty easy to spot the ones who know
what they are doing.
Cheers,
