So, the interview process involves a few different parts. First, there are behavioral questions where they want to know how you handle specific work situations, so you should use examples from your past jobs. Then there are situational questions to test your problem-solving and critical thinking, where they’ll give you a problem to solve based on real-world experience. They also ask general questions about the role, the industry, or your career goals. And sometimes, they throw in unusual questions to see how you think on your feet and logically, even if there's no single right answer.
- Could you share your most significant work experience?
- What is your most meaningful work experience and what was the outcome?
- What insights or strategy improvements did you gain from a meaningful failure?
Control Systems Engineer
I had a presentation which was followed by a 25-minute Q&A session. Then there was a separate 75-minute interview. The presentation had to be concise, with a maximum of 5 slides, and I was given 10 minutes to present. The content of the presentation needed to cover the company's core values and my recent academic achievements.
- Can you explain how your academic background relates to our core values?
- How do your past experiences reflect our company's core values?
- Could you discuss the alignment between your academic work and our core values?
