Sample Answer
On a recent onboarding-improvement project I coached a junior analyst who was responsible for the requirements and user-story backlog for a new self-serve flow. I started by walking them through a reusable PRD template, showed how to write clear acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then) and run structured stakeholder interviews. We did two paired-sessions where I reviewed their first draft line-by-line and suggested tighter scope and measurable success metrics. Within three weeks their next deliverable required only one minor revision instead of the previous average of four, and sprint-ready stories rose from 60% to 95%. Stakeholder satisfaction on the deliverable jumped from 6/10 to 9/10. I tracked cycle time, rework count, and stakeholder scores to quantify the improvement.

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?
