Sample Answer
Late in a sprint for a customer checkout flow used by ~200k users/month, I found a keyboard navigation and color-contrast regression that broke purchase for keyboard-only users in Safari—discovered two days before release. I immediately flagged it in the daily standup, sent a concise impact note to PM and QA estimating ~15% of sessions affected, and proposed a one-day hotfix window. I paired with another engineer to patch tabindex order, fix focus styles, and update color tokens; QA verified on BrowserStack across 6 browsers. After shipping the hotfix within 24 hours we validated accessibility with axe and saw zero regressions. To prevent recurrence I added automated axe checks and cross-browser smoke tests to CI, reducing similar regressions by ~90% next quarter.

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?
