well you can always make the caveat that you're a writer above all else and check out your work samples. i.e., "i write much better than i speak". or if humor is necessary "my inability to speak articulately is what propelled me to become a writer from a young age" h aha. i don't know, something. (this is easier for me to do in writing as well. if you asked me in person i'd be like "uuhhh.... ummmmm... my.... er... yeah?" ha ha ha)

rate: i rate my writing ability much higher than my speaking ability! when i write i'm completely in my element (etc. etc.)

next time they interview you ask for a text chat instead!
