12,774 technical writer intern interview questions shared by candidates

Some general, CV-based questions about myself to break the ice. Then more pragmatic, use-case-based questions like: - how to deal with their current doc in terms of maintenance, improvement, etc. - I suggested migrating it to make it more efficient, so we discussed possible alternatives like wiki and DITA XML - the core of their doc is API doc so we talked about API doc standards, best practices, doc generators like JavaDoc and Swagger. - Questions on markup like wiki syntax, markdown, rst - Hands-on examples of how I handled issues/problems/mistakes in the past and how I achieved positive results in my past experience as a tech writer

After agreeing with everyone that a Technical Writer/Business Analyst was difficult to find encompassing both backgrounds and experience, I was asked why I did not have adequate experience in either. It seemed like a paradoxical trick question. The reporting manager asked how I would set up the review process for the five groups this function was to support.
