If asked about your ideal editing job, you should respond that you wish to work on assignments that give you the chance to grow professionally and continue doing what you are passionate about. Before the interview, make a list of your skillset, job interests, and goals. Look at your list and compare this to the qualifications, duties, and expectations of the job you are applying for, and see where the two overlap.
