Sample Answer
Over a typical week I use a mix of our ticketing system, a simple Kanban board, and calendar reminders. All issues start in our ticketing tool, where I tag them as “incident,” “trend to watch,” or “request.” Anything tagged incident with a risk of service disruption, legal exposure, or more than 20 users affected goes straight into the “Now” column on my Kanban board and gets same‑day action. Items with a lower, longer‑term impact stay in “Monitor.” For those, I set explicit check‑in points: for example, review login error rates every Wednesday, or re‑survey a pilot group after two weeks. I track 5–10 of these at a time. If I see a metric move past a predefined threshold (like error rates rising above 3% or repeat contacts from the same team), I promote it to an active issue. This system helped us catch a brewing access problem early and avoid a potential outage for about 300 users.

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.
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?
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?
