Sample Answer
At FinFlow I led a half-day workshop to define a new bulk-invoice upload feature after customers reported manual entry taking ~6 hours/week for power users. I invited product, engineering (4 devs), design, customer success, and two enterprise customers — and sent a one-page brief plus usage metrics (200 affected accounts, $150k ARR impact) a week before. In-session we mapped pain points, prioritized must-haves vs nice-to-haves using dot-voting, and I mediated by reframing technical tradeoffs into customer outcomes when opinions split on validation behavior. We captured decisions live in a shared board and assigned owners with deadlines: prototype by design (2 weeks), API spec by engineering (3 weeks), and validation criteria by CS (1 week). Two months later the beta reduced data-entry time by 85% for pilot clients and converted 12% to paid tiers.

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?
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.
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?
