QUESTION 18 OF 30
How are your writing skills?
The interviewer is interested in how experienced you are as a writer beyond translation exclusively.

Review the job description in detail for any indication that the position requires a specific writing style or skill level, and be prepared to reference specific examples of your work that support what they want to see.
