The candidate should discuss their writing experience and how they characterize their writing. The candidate may provide samples of writing in the past and talk about how they work to make their writing the best it can be. This will give the hiring manager an idea of how well the candidate writes and if that style will fit in with the type of writing job they are looking to fill.
