What is this verb?
Hi,
Supposing I'm applying for a job of translation and they ask me to try translating a book, then they'll consider my ability and decide whether I'll be given the post or not. So what is the verb to describe that? I am ... in that company.
Thank you very much,
Nessie.

Thanks a lot for your help, Philip.
So I should say: "I am pending in that company"? It sounds a bit strange for me... Is there any other way of expressing the idea?
Thank you very much one more time,

Hi Nessie
I might refer to that as "taking advantage of slave labor".

You might say that the company will hire you contingent on the quality of your translation (of the book).

You could say that the company wants/expects you to demonstrate your skill prior to hiring you.
Nothing else is coming to mind at the moment.

nessie000I am ... in this companyIf you will be doing the "test" translation work at the company, you could possibly say "I am interning in this company", I suppose.

Hi Barb,
I think 'audition' is not very suitable in this case because it tends to refer to what a singer/an actor does to prove their artistic ability, but here I'm refering to job in general.
Hi Amy,
I don't think 'intern' is the best in this case, either, because if someone does internship in a company, they work temporarily there to practise what they learned
