Situational Questions

Question Type

Explanation

Before you practise, you are advised to …

Situational

You are asked how you would handle specific work scenarios.

• Review the job specifications to predict scenarios you may be asked about.
• Explain your approach to analyzing the problem.
• Offer a solution to the problem by prioritizing the steps to be taken.

The more you practise responding to technical questions that might come up in an engineering interview, the better prepared you will be for a real one.

Begin the practice by taking three steps:
1. Choose a question type: experience-based, knowledge-based or situational
2. Choose a question (out of 2)
3. Start the timer (1.5 min) when you are ready

After finishing one round of practice, you can repeat the practice as many times as you like.
