It’s a good question for them to ask. Bring an example of something geared toward executives. An email and an example showing more detail for a more detail oriented audience. All should show you know how to tailor a message to the audience and that you can write clearly and succinctly. I always asked for examples and that was what I was looking for

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
