Sample Answer
I treat accessibility and responsiveness as core requirements, not nice-to-haves. For accessibility, I start by using semantic HTML—proper headings, landmark roles, lists, and native controls where possible. I ensure all interactive elements are keyboard-accessible with visible focus states and avoid relying solely on hover for critical interactions. I use ARIA attributes sparingly and correctly, for example aria-live for dynamic content. I run automated checks with tools like axe DevTools or Lighthouse accessibility audits, then complement that with manual testing: keyboard-only navigation, screen reader spot checks (NVDA/VoiceOver), and color contrast verification (using tools like Stark or built-in devtools). I also pay attention to form labels, error messaging, and focus management in modals. For responsiveness, I design mobile-first using CSS Grid/Flexbox, fluid layouts, and responsive typography. I use media queries and container queries (where supported) to adapt layouts and test across common breakpoints and devices using browser devtools. I also consider performance on mobile—optimizing images, avoiding heavy scripts, and deferring non-critical work. Before shipping, I run a small checklist in our PR template covering a11y, responsiveness, and performance, and I’m comfortable pushing back if a design conflicts with basic accessibility standards.
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?
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.
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?
