First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Utah Department of Transportation.
Intern
I got an email and then had a 30-minute Zoom interview. They wanted to learn about my background and availability. They asked mostly technical questions. We also talked about the project's final output and what my role would be.
- Have you worked with big data before?
- Are you familiar with the R language?
- Which packages within R language have you utilized?
Manager
It was a single interview round. They had predetermined questions written down and taped to the desk. Nothing asked was from my resume. Because it was impersonal and only one interview was held to make the decision, I felt they already had an internal candidate in mind and were just going through the motions.
- Can you describe a time you managed a conflict?
Field Engineer
First, there was an initial interview with three people. It was pretty informal. Each person asked questions one after the other. They asked basic get-to-know-you questions, asked for examples of leadership, problem solving, and conflict resolution. The second interview also had three people (two were the same). They asked why UDOT and where I see myself in 5 years. Overall, it was a pretty pleasant experience.
- Can you describe a situation where you had a disagreement with your supervisor and explain how you handled it?
- Can you provide an example of your leadership skills?
- Can you provide an example of your problem-solving skills?
Engineer
I applied online and after a few weeks, they emailed me to schedule an interview. I spoke with three people, including the manager and two other team members. The interview was pretty relaxed, which made me feel at ease. They inquired about my education and career aspirations, and also asked about my personal interests, which made for a more engaging conversation.
- What are your career goals?
