      Technical Writer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Dec 2013

      Interview

      I applied online, though the company recruits at my school as well. I got a phone interview, which was pretty standard stuff- they asked how I heard about Epic, why I wanted to work there, relevant experience. That partrt was maybe 20 minutes, then the last 10 were for any questions I had- this advice is not at all unique to Epic, but I'd recommend thinking up a few questions so you don't sound dumb. They mentioned the company was a "flip flops and high fives" kind of place, which I found unbearably corny, but Epic's whole vibe seems to align with this fake cool mom thing. After the phone interview, the next round was an online assessment, like a personality test. Lots of questions about my work style, leadership sensibilities, sociability, etc. Then, I had to complete a timed writing assessment in which I was given three prompts- the first was copyediting a poorly written press release about some HR reps' trip to African hospitals; in the second, I was given some facts about a human interest story and had to come up with a short article on it (I think it was a child who illegally emigrated to the US and had been reunited with his mother;) the third piece had me read a few mock-up cover letters from prospective employees, and write a recommendation about them based on my assessments. The cover letters were bad in an obvious way, lacked examples and had a lot of buzzwords. I didn't feel like I had enough time to really do a good job on all three pieces, because I tend to be a perfectionist about my writing, but I guess that's sort of the point of the timed test. Anyway, the final step was a 3 hour skills assessment, which was "e-proctored" but an outside company while I took it at home on my computer. The e-proctoring part seemed egregious. I think it was math and writing skills, if I remember correctly, but I found the math more difficult than I expected. After that, I did not receive an offer. And

      Question 1

      The writing assessment was the most demanding- especially proofing a poorly written press release and writing a news article when I have very little experience in the formalities of either genre.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jun 2020

      Interview

      I had a phone interview about the position and the company as a whole and then performed an online assessment. The phone interview was very helpful and informative, but the assessment felt wholly unrelated to the position as it was described to me.
