Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a time you had to write something for a specific audience that wasn't your own peer group, like employees in a manufacturing plant or a different department entirely. How did you adjust your tone or content?
What they are checking: whether the candidate can shift voice for a broad, non-student, global workforce audience
Have you ever managed a content calendar or editorial schedule for a class project, campus organization, or job? What did that actually look like day to day?
What they are checking: real hands-on experience with planning and cadence versus theoretical familiarity
Tell me about a piece of writing you're proud of that had to go through several rounds of edits or approval. How did you handle feedback that changed your original approach?
What they are checking: resilience and professionalism when their writing gets revised by more senior people
Tell me about a time you had multiple deadlines competing for your attention in the same week. How did you decide what got done first?
What they are checking: real time management under competing priorities, since this is explicitly called out as required
Why are you interested in doing communications work specifically inside an HR function at a manufacturing company, rather than at an agency or a media company?
What they are checking: genuine motivation and understanding of what internal corporate communications actually involves day to day
What would you do
Walk me through how you'd research and write an internal article about a new HR program, from the moment you're handed the assignment to the moment it's published on the intranet.
What they are checking: whether they understand the full editorial process, not just writing but reporting and fact-checking with subject matter experts
Say you're building the monthly HR newsletter and two subject matter experts each want their update to be the lead story that week. How do you handle it?
What they are checking: comfort navigating competing stakeholder priorities without a formal decision-making role
If you found a typo or factual error in a story right after it published to a global audience, what would you do?
What they are checking: ownership and judgment under a real mistake, and whether they'd hide it or fix it fast
Imagine leadership announces a change, like a reorganization, that team members are anxious about. How would you think about writing the internal communication around that?
What they are checking: early instinct for change management communication and sensitivity to employee morale, which the posting names directly
About the work
How would you decide whether a piece of company news belongs on the homepage of myRegalRexnord versus buried lower, or held for the newsletter instead?
What they are checking: editorial judgment about prioritization and audience attention, not just execution
What's your process for proofreading your own work before you send it to someone else for review?
What they are checking: concrete quality-control habits versus a vague claim of being detail-oriented
What experience do you have with Microsoft Office tools like Word, PowerPoint, or Forms for something beyond basic schoolwork, like building a survey or a formatted document for an audience?
What they are checking: whether their tool familiarity extends to producing polished, audience-ready materials
Have you used SharePoint, an intranet, or any content management system before? What did you actually do in it?
What they are checking: whether their CMS familiarity is real hands-on use or just passive exposure
Have you used AI tools like Copilot for research or drafting? Walk me through an example and how you checked the output before using it.
What they are checking: whether they treat AI as a shortcut that skips verification or as a starting point they still fact-check
