The writing test was in Word Format and was emailed to me. I had to confirm receipt of the test and was given two hours to complete it. I took the test at home. The test consisted of several sentences that had grammatical errors and I had to correct them. There were spelling and punctuation errors. I was asked to list 5 attributes EA should have and provide a reason for each attribute with 1 sentence for each attribute. I was asked to write an email to an internal colleague. In addition, I was given details of the Executive's flight and meeting and I had to write an itinerary of their entire travel that would include ground transportation and making sure they get to the meeting at the foreign country's destination. I had to explain my reasoning behind structuring the itinerary the way I did. Lastly, I was given a budget, number of people and seating preference and I had to find two venues. I could make the venue name up and I had to list each venue and what each one had to offer. At the end, I had to make a final recommendation of which venue is better for the event.
