What to expect on a basic electonics test for emolyment?

[mikrochip59]

Prospective employer has informed me that there will be a "Basic Electronics Test" as a part of screening for employment selection. Already have a certificate in electronics, but that was 20 years ago- way before A+ and even microprocessors were a part of the courseware.

The company builds and services dot matrix and laser high speed stand alone printers for inscribing lot numbers and born on dates for manufacturers. I have seen the equipment. Not much to it; a power supply, 3 to 4 fuses, a couple of boards, ink nozzle on the matrix printer, and a laser tube w/ armature with mirrors to calibrate the beam on target for the laser product.
I'm already told there will be no work at the componant level, however I will be using a meter to T-shoot for board swapping and sub-assembleys.
Has anybody seen one of these test's? I sure would like to know what they look like.

I would have thought the test will be specific to that company, so seeing other companies tests probably wouldn't help.

A friend of mine has recently got a new job, working with and repairing UPS systems - as part of his test he was asked to draw a bridge rectifer!.

mine was to draw out a PI loop for a current-control as well as draw out rotor-stator arrangement for a 4-6 SR machine.

But it quite specific to the job you are applying to. I would not expect to be ask abt RS442 at that interview
