Sample interview questions: Can you share examples of your work where you improved the use of quotes or citations in a piece of content?
Sample answer:
-
Reorganized Quotes for Clarity:
In a feature article, the original draft included several quotes from interviewees, but they were scattered throughout the piece, making it difficult for readers to follow the narrative. I rearranged the quotes to group them by topic, creating a more cohesive and logical flow of information. -
Verified and Corrected Citations:
While reviewing a research paper, I noticed several inaccurate citations. I cross-checked the references against the original sources and corrected the formatting and details to ensure accuracy and credibility. -
Added Context to Quotes:
In a news article, a quote from a government official was included without providing sufficient context. I added a brief introduction to the official’s role and expertise, helping readers better understand the significance of the quote.
