Re: re Interviewing Tech Writers

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

It's not terribly difficult.  You just need to phrase the discussion generically.
For example, instead of saying "my impression of you is that you will..."
say, "we have had writers in the past who..." as you describe the types
of people who will or will not be likely to succeed in the position.  If
the person has already been in for an interview and is still considered
viable, schedule another and meet again after the new interviewers.
