General Atomics Technical Writer interview questions

Tell us your familiarity with Bloom's Taxonomy and Kirkpatrick as they relate to ISD.

1st question: something like "Which do you prefer, comma or semicolon for a list of items in a sentence?" Was not expecting that! My response was that I prefer a bulleted list because nobody reads long sentences with lists of items. Wrong answer, I guess! This set the tone for the interview, however, and it got me thinking, so I asked how important she thought it was for the technical writer to have a technical grasp of the product. The response: not very important! She was more concerned about the writer's ability to adapt to the style of an existing document. At this point, I pretty much knew I was wasting my time. She obviously thought I was some sort of knuckle-dragging ape who probably couldn't spell his own name. My last question to her was "Based on my resume and our conversation, do you see anything at all that gives you a concern about my ability to do this job?" Her response: No, I'll talk to the hiring manager about the next steps." A few days later I received the rejection email. My email to the individual at the staffing agency about what the hell happened went unanswered. I'm really disgusted with Modis and GA EMG!
