Content Writer Interview Questions

When interviewing for the post of Content Writer, you should focus on assessing three main skills capability to research, write and edit. A visible weakness in any of these areas will challenge the effectiveness of the other two.

The ideal candidate will be able to show you a portfolio of content that shows his ability to write across a different set of topics and in various styles. A candidate should be familiar with various styles of writing including but not limited to: articles, blogs, press releases, white papers, social media posts etc. Many of candidates will have experience in copywriting or a personal blog.

Also, when looking for a Content Writer for your company, look for a candidate with a basic knowledge of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and awareness of the content marketing concepts.
