Asked about overnight experience and writing career and future plans and how they fit in
The interviewer asked me if I could handle the responsibilities of the role and gave me the schedule. The interviewer was very dry and sounded inexperienced with proper phone interview etiquette. They had no questions for me, they sounded like they were reading from a paper and ran out of things to say. I received an email the very next day saying they would not move forward.
If I knew what brands were what and how to write for them -- and since the answer to that was yes, my interview process was pretty straightforward. Ironically their new head writer had no clue about anything and actually declined my boss's offer of a teleconference so we could all get on the same page. I've never seen anything so dysfunctional.
The recruiter who interviewed me didn't really ask any typical interview questions. It was more about the technical details that recruiters go through (the right to represent form, rate, etc.).
They did ask why I didn't submit a cover letter.
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years.
What software did I use to create technical manuals Could I teach others how to use software and create manuals.
I honestly couldn't completely understand the questions, but I think the gist of it was "tell us about yourself" and "what kind of work are you doing at XYZ position."
