Advice for interviewing new tech writers

[Kelly Smith <KellyMJSmith -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hi all,

I recently took a full-time position as the first tech writer in IT at a
40+ year old manufacturing company. As you can imagine, we have a lot of
work ahead of us sorting out all the documentation.

After seeing what I was able to do for the IT department in the 3 months
since I was hired, the director of another department is considering hiring
a tech writer. My boss volunteered me to sit in on the interviews.

I won't be managing this person (as far as I know, since they'll be in a
different department) but we will be expected to collaborate with each
other and with the other tech writer who was hired the same day I was (in
yet another department).

Do any of you have experience hiring other tech writers and could you give
me any advice?


Thanks!
