Sample Answer
I’d focus on my end-to-end production ML experience and the tooling I’ve used. Over the last five years I led a team of four data scientists and two MLEs building real-time recommendation models for an e-commerce platform serving 10M users monthly. I’ve shipped models using Python, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Spark for batch feature pipelines, and Kafka/Flink for streaming inference. We moved from offline experiments to a CI/CD-driven deployment that cut model rollout time from 6 weeks to 3 days and increased click-through by 12%. If you tailor questions toward model monitoring, feature stores, experiment design, and cross-functional collaboration, that will map best to my strengths.

Walk me through a recent multi-channel digital marketing campaign you managed end-to-end. How did you set objectives, choose channels, allocate budget, and measure success?
Based on your hydrology and irrigation engineering background, explain how you would estimate the irrigation water requirement for a kharif crop in a semi-arid region of Gujarat. Walk me through each step: from reference evapotranspiration estimation, crop coefficient selection, effective rainfall calculation, to arriving at canal discharge for a given command area.
In your civil engineering studies, what specific design coursework or project work did you complete related to irrigation channels or canals (e.g., design of lined/unlined canals, distributaries, minors)? Describe one such design in detail, including how you determined discharge, permissible velocity, section dimensions, and lining choice for Gujarat-type soil and climate conditions.
In your resume you note improving or optimizing [a process, KPI, or metric]. What specific baseline metrics did you start from, what steps did you personally take, and how did you verify that the improvement was due to your changes rather than external factors?
On your resume you mention working on a cross-functional project (e.g., involving multiple teams or stakeholders). Describe a situation from that project where priorities conflicted—how did you navigate the trade-offs and what was the final outcome?
