First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at FedWriters.
Technical Writer
Interviewing with FedWriters was smooth and seamless. The recruiter who initially contacted me was pleasant and informative. She maintained contact with me throughout the hiring process. The interview with my direct supervisor was great; he provided useful information and answered all of my questions.
- Are your work hours flexible? The job involves working with individuals on East Coast time.
Technical Writer
It was a chill but personal and direct interview process, with questions that matched the job. They also asked about career goals to see if you'd fit in.
- What would you do if you didn't know how to do something in Microsoft Word?
- Can you tell me about your career goals?
Transcriptionist
A recruiter reached out to me on Linkedin. I spoke with the recruiter first, then the manager, and finally the VP. We talked about my background, my career goals, and what opportunities might be a good fit. Everyone was nice and helpful. I was asked a lot of standard interview questions, and I also got to talk about my strengths and what I want to achieve.
- Can you share an instance where you had to bend the rules in a previous job?
