Technical Writer Interview Questions

"Employers hiring technical writers want candidates with the technical knowledge and written communication skills to simplify complex concepts. In an interview, be prepared to discuss your writing experience and provide an example of a time you explained a difficult idea to a group or classroom. Your interviewer may also quiz you on technical concepts or ask you to engage in a written exercise."

The normal questions until the 2nd interview. In the 2nd interview, the supervisor basically mentioned a tense/awkward work environment and seemed to be angry at those in lower positions for wanting to change the company. Asked me if I was okay with not having a seat at the table and for reassurance that their organization is in the right for not doing environmental justice work. Also said they believe employees who live in a state like Ohio for example should not be penalized by a lower salary than someone who willingly chooses to live in California, despite the great disparity in the cost of living. I saw all the bad reviews on here before the interviews but still considered the job because I am passionate about the work the organization does. I do not mind all that much that I didn't get the job because their attitude in the 2nd interview was rude and uninformed.
