Not all DPEs are authorized to give ATP ratings but most who are will have single engine authority. No written test is required. No instructor endorsement is required but of course a few practice sessions would be advisable. Any single engine CFI is authorized to give the training but I would find one with ATP experience.
Will it help you get a job? Who knows. I suspect the caravan and Pilatus operators are more concerned with total time than the ATP since it is easily added during the initial 135.297. On the off chance you get a pink slip trying to get the rating on your own that will probably damage your career prospects more than not having it. Consider the risk/reward.

ASEL ATP ride will be easier than CPL if you're a professional turbine pilot who already holds an ATP. Really shouldn't be a big issue as long as you research your DPE options and don't get some guy who thinks an ATP add-on is a screen for astronaut candidates.

Yeah it's really so that if i lose my current job now I have something to fall back on. (Caravan, Pc12 etc) i dont get hyped up on ratings. I just want to know what the best and easiest way with what I have to get single engine commercial privileges. Does it count as a 121 failure if I did fail? In today's possible future market any pink slip could be bad.
