Sample Answer
A sales VP asked me to “fix onboarding” because ramp times felt too long. Problem: vague scope, no baseline. I started with a 45‑minute discovery session using a simple brief (objective, constraints, success metrics). I translated this into a clear goal: reduce ramp from 90 to 60 days in one quarter. I mapped current processes in Miro, analyzed Salesforce data for ramp cohorts, and identified three leverage points: content gaps, unclear milestones, and no ownership. I then created a two‑phase plan in Asana with 4 workstreams, owners, and weekly milestones, plus a single-page PRD outlining deliverables and risks. Impact: launched a new onboarding playbook and metrics dashboard in 6 weeks, cut time‑to‑first‑deal by 28%, and improved manager satisfaction scores from 3.1 to 4.4/5 within one quarter.

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?
