Sample Answer
If a user reports a suspected phish, I start by preserving evidence and checking the email in our gateway and SIEM. In the gateway (like Proofpoint or O365 Defender), I pull the full message: headers, body, attachments, and URLs. I look at sender reputation, SPF/DKIM/DMARC results, return-path, and any anomalies in the “Received” chain. In the SIEM, I pivot on sender, subject, and URL to see who else received or interacted with it, and whether there are related alerts from endpoints or proxies. If it’s malicious, I use a sandbox (Cuckoo, hybrid analysis, or the built-in detonation) to analyze attachments and URL behavior, then push an IOC set (domains, hashes, IPs) into our EDR and email filters. We do a retro hunt across mailboxes and endpoints, remove messages in bulk, and isolate any impacted hosts. I close by doing a quick 10–15 minute feedback session or a short write-up to the reporting user and their team, turning it into a teachable moment and reinforcing what “good reporting” looks like.

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?
