TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'm not asking how to interview a tech writer. I do that, along with several
other folks in my company. What my HR department would like is a list of
questions and answers that *they* can use to pre-screen applicants. The idea
being that they "weed out" the "unqualified" ones before taking up my time
to review resumes and interview candidates.
I am having a hard time coming up with questions that won't throw out the
baby with the bath water.
Thanks again! All the comments received so far have been helpful, in one way
or another. Cheers!
