Interview questions worth rehearsing
With the thing the interviewer is actually listening for
Walk me through a piece in your portfolio and the thinking behind it.
Explain the audience, the single message you chose, and lines you cut. Editing decisions impress more than clever phrases.
How do you learn and match a brand voice you have never written in?
Describe studying existing copy, style guides, and customer language, then writing samples and calibrating with feedback.
How do you approach writing a headline?
Mention writing many options, leading with the reader's benefit, and testing where possible rather than trusting one draft.
Tell me about copy you wrote that measurably performed. What made it work?
Bring one example with numbers, like conversion or open-rate lift, and a plain-language theory of why it worked.
How do you handle feedback that flattens your copy?
Show that you separate voice from ego: defend clarity and strategy with reasons, and concede on taste.
How do you use AI tools in your writing process, if at all?
Be candid and specific. Employers want writers who use tools for drafts and research while owning judgment, voice, and facts.
