I submitted an application online, and received an email from a current technical writer asking for more information 7 or 8 weeks later. I provided them with my current GPA and several writing samples. A day later I got an email about setting up a phone interview and an editing test. The phone interview lasted less than an hour, and was conducted by the same technical writer who had emailed me. Questions were largely behavioral and focused mostly on collaborative work. The editing test was a timed edit of a product manual, focusing on style and consistency. Several days after the phone interview, National Instruments invited me to an on-site interview. They provided a list of several Fridays to visit, and arranged all the travel and accommodations. The on-site interview consisted of a full day of group interviews, product demonstrations, a campus tour, lunch with other technical writers, and a writing test. Outside of the writing test, the interviewing is behavioral. Great emphasis is put on collaboration and technical experience. The general structure and career paths of NI are outlined. All interviewers are technical writers of varying levels of experience. NI provides a host to ferry candidates between interviews and answer questions through the process.
