Sample Answer
On a recent project to revamp our customer onboarding, marketing wanted a slick, low-friction flow, compliance wanted more mandatory data, and operations just wanted fewer support tickets. The original brief was literally “make onboarding better,” which meant different things to everyone. I started with 1:1 stakeholder interviews and a quick workshop with reps from each group to map their objectives and pain points. Then I translated those into a set of user journeys and a simple requirements matrix that showed, for each field or step, the owner, rationale, and impact on drop-off. Where there were conflicts, I brought data: current funnel conversion, call-center volumes, and regulatory must-haves. We agreed on a phased approach—MVP with 30% fewer fields and some conditional logic, then a second phase for nice-to-haves. The new flow improved completion rates by 18% and cut onboarding-related support tickets by 22% in three months.

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?
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.
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?
