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."

I have never felt so passionate about writing a response to an interview. This is because this interview was the most belittling, misogynistic, and ill-mannered interview I have ever experienced. The interviwer asked me various questions that had little to do with the position, but more so to do with boosting his own ego. He reminded me several times that he has a PH.D., as if my Masters Degree was beneath him. Awful. Awful. Awful.

The most difficult question of the interview I faced was probably the first: "Please introduce yourself." It's not a question I've often been asked in job interviews. While I got to present myself, it's also a very open-ended question that can trap you if you say too much, or say the wrong things.
