Interview preparation in the "AI" era
Hey everyone,
I'm curious how you're all preparing for interviews these days, especially with how quickly AI is changing both our work and the expectations for technical writers.
Beyond the usual behavioral questions ("Tell me about yourself," "Describe a conflict," etc.), are you preparing for questions around AI? For example:
- What does it mean to write for AI?
- How do you think technical writing is changing in the age of LLMs and AI agents?
- How are you using AI in your own documentation workflows?
- What role do information architecture, retrieval, and structured content play now?
Are any of you building hands-on projects to talk about in interviews? Practicing with AI interview tools? What questions are you preparing answers for?
I'd love to hear what's worked well for you. Our role is evolving big time, and I'm curious how you're adapting your interview preparation.
Maybe this will help someone in the future, too.
Thanks!
