I'm assuming the "you" above is the company one is testing for. Without
knowing what the company uses, I would be prepared for anything.

The test shouldn't be to find out if they have Advanced knowledge of FM...it
should be an advanced knowledge of what you USE in FM for your book of work.

of no purpose.

I would look at a number of things...
First, is one looking for a technical writer or a strict Frame production
person? If the former, writing style is more important than Frame knowledge
_IF_ the person has an openness to learn new/different programs and workflow
methods.
Second, 50% of any work

FM templates are a bit difficult. You can be a very advanced user

But I disagree that it's not important to have a good technical writer,

I don't know if the suite is the best choice if you are trying to save

probably cost more. (I doubt there is an option to only upgrade FM when
you own TCS.) And since you don't really need to upgrade Acrobat, it

"What's your favorite thing about FrameMaker templates?" is a good
question, since templates per se don't exist, and advanced users have
to figure out how to work around that.
Also, the sample projects they used to include were produced by
someone who didn't know to leave out the generated files.

That bad, really? I'm on Oxygen and I really miss FrameMaker though I
haven't used it in a few years. It just seemed so much more flexible than
other tools I've used.

If I had a badly maintained FrameMaker book with a lot of cruft on the

identify problems and say how they'd clean them up.
I'd ask to see one or more templates they'd created and have them
