Sample Answer
In my last role supporting a school site, I followed a very specific opening and closing routine. For opening, I’d disarm the alarm, walk the perimeter, and physically check all main entry points, including 12 exterior doors and 3 loading bays. I’d confirm all emergency exits were clear and verify that security cameras were online and recording. For closing, I did the same loop in reverse and added an interior sweep of high‑value areas like IT storage and the main office, making sure windows were latched and equipment rooms were locked. I learned the procedures through a combination of a two‑day onboarding with our head custodian and walking the route with the district security officer. I then created a simple one‑page checklist with time boxes and initials. After 3 months, missed lock incidents dropped to zero, and we cut false alarms by about 40% because staff had a clear, consistent process.

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?
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?
