15,498 technical writer intern interview questions shared by candidates

The two technical questions that I was asked was: "What is the difference between an inner and an outer JOIN"? "Explain what is a view" which I forgot since I had not worked on SQL code in over a year. When is a table in third normal form?

The second skills test was the most challenging part of the process. The skills test is kind of like trial by fire -- it asks the writer to basically do the job for an hour, to actually do the work a staff writer would be expected to do. Here's how it worked for me: - Connected with the editor on Skype (text only at this stage) - Received an "assignment", basically a loose idea for an article. - Given instructions / conditions for how to approach the piece. -- 1 hour, 500 words. - Submitted article and the editor immediately reviewed it with me - Cordial departure - Heard back shortly after (1-2 days) with offer
