How well are you able to write descriptions on records? Do you enjoy doing this, and if so why?

"I rate myself as an expert when it comes to writing descriptions on archives. I do enjoy this type of work and look forward to continuing these responsibilities with your museum."

Tell the interviewer about your writing skills by providing an example of your writing experience. If possible, bring a particular sample with you to the interview.

"I pride myself on my excellent writing skills and was fortunate to use the skills in my last position of archivist when working for the Society of American Archivists. I enjoyed this task because I love writing and providing clear descriptions of artifacts and records that the world will have access to for generations to come."
