Technical Writer Interview Questions

18,130 technical writer interview questions shared by candidates

Was asked specific technical questions from each department. There were 5 experts in different skill levels (Policy, Legal, Developers, System people, Business people) and each one wanted me to be expert in each of their fields. Technical Writers cannot possibly be experts in many fields. We reflect source information, not create it.

The critical thinking test was pretty weird. Only 12 minutes for 40 questions. Things like analogies, incorrect spellings and finishing a sequence or identifying the incorrect number in a sequence. Felt a little like the SATs in miniature.
