As a general note I would say not to.

The test that company gives you is there own and may or may not want other companies to see exactly what they are asking prospective empolyees to do.

Just to add to what Jac's said, this type of practice is quite common on larger sites such as cgtalk and polycount forums -- I know of at least 3 seperate occurances where the poster has gotten into trouble from the company from releasing material without consent, one which was quite serious.

Apart from these instances it's also generally percieved as bad form, with company employees seeing this posted on a forum it says to them "I need help with my work" and therefore reflects badly on you. The school of thought opposing this is that you would normally have the rest of the art dept. to bounce things off of and recieve feedback which makes it ok, but I've never yet heard of an instance where this has been the case.

Well, I'm a bad boy, I posted a pic that was for a job application, but it was after I submitted the work. Won't tell you what it was, just in case they're watching.
