Sample Answer
In my last role, about 90% of our 600 endpoints were Windows, but our design lead used a MacBook that suddenly couldn’t connect to our corporate VPN. On Windows, I’d usually start with the VPN client logs and check adapter settings via standard MMC tools. With macOS, I had to shift gears: I pulled system logs via Console, checked the Network preference pane, and used Terminal commands like `scutil --nc list` and `ifconfig` to see what was actually happening. I found a leftover config from an old VPN profile conflicting with our current one and a broken keychain entry. I removed the stale profile, reset the keychain items related to the VPN, and reinstalled the client. That got her back online in under an hour. Afterward, I documented a short macOS VPN runbook so the team could handle similar cases without escalating every Mac issue to me.

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.
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.
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?
