Sample Answer
I’d approach this as a mini‑knowledge‑capture project. First, Discovery: identify owners and frequency/impact of the process, then schedule 2–3 one‑hour shadowing sessions with senior colleagues. I’d record screens (with consent) using Loom and capture each step in a checklist in Notion or Confluence. Second, Standardization: convert notes into a formal SOP with purpose, prerequisites, step‑by‑step actions, screenshots, and decision rules. I’d include templates (emails, spreadsheets) and common error examples. I’d validate by running the process myself 2–3 cycles, timing each step and clarifying gaps. Third, Enablement: pilot the SOP with a new hire via a 3‑day micro‑training (walkthrough, supervised run, independent run). I’d track accuracy (target 95% error‑free), cycle time (aim 20% faster by week two), and update the SOP based on their feedback.

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.
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?
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?
