Sample Answer
S (Situation): In a previous group project, our CSS had inconsistent naming and scattered styles, which slowed us down and caused visual bugs. T (Task): As a new team member, my goal was to improve consistency without blocking progress or overstepping as a junior. A (Action): First, I raised the issue during a stand-up and asked if there was an agreed convention. When I learned there wasn’t, I proposed we adopt a simple standard (like BEM) and documented a short style guide in our repo’s README. I suggested we apply it gradually: for any file we touched, we would refactor class names and structure to match the convention, and I added a basic CSS linter configuration (stylelint) to our pipeline. I asked for a quick review from a more experienced teammate to ensure alignment. R (Result): Within two sprints, about 60–70% of our active components followed the new convention. Merge conflicts in CSS-related files dropped noticeably, and onboarding a new teammate became easier because they could rely on a single, documented pattern.
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?
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?
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.
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?
