How to answer technical questions in an interview?

Hello Engineers,

***** We are Hiring *******

Once after  seeing this message in your social network or job portal you will make ourselves ready to be the first applicant to race the recruitment battle.  

If you want your profile to be highlighted in the job portal or professional network here are my tips to make yourself confident 👇

Tips& Tricks

Then what's next!!!!!

In this blog I will let you know how to prepare yourself for a technical interview.

Interview begins with 

#Tell about yourself#

A lot of answers available in web for the above tag.

Make yourself ready to answer such question with other resources.

Let us dive into the technical perspective.

Don't get stressed by their question: 

"What is stress??? "

Read the question again!!!

Is it sigma =  Force / Area ???

No it's not the thing.

It is just the formula for stress.

Not an answer to their question.

It's the internal resistance offered by the material against deformation.

Does it makes sense???

It's the way you can answer!!!

Formulas cannot be an answer for the definition. Because they want to assess your knowledge with such simple questions. 

Prepare yourself to answer such type of question with words unless they require formula from you.

Definition are not the only things which decides you

Next type of question would be of " What if ? " type

Here is an example:

" What is the impact on strain if Elastic modulus is increased ?"

Obviously the answer would be

"Decrease in strain due to increased stiffness"

Such type of questions need mutual understanding of strain and elastic modulus and the hidden term stress along with the relationship between them.

What I suggest you is 

"Once you come across a new term, try to correlate it's relationship with other related terms"

Because the questioning pattern is getting changed from "what" to "what if".

Other type of question is based on application "Where it was applicable?"

To explore further let us take this critical question

" What is the application of shape function in finite element analysis?"

A simple and crisp answer to this question would be as follows

" They are interpolation functions which help us in knowing the deformation value within an element by interpolating the deformation at the nodes "

Whenever you face an interview or when you learn new things just be more practical to make yourself a mechanical genius ☺

I will be writing a lot like this to share my experience and knowledge.

See you in my next post!!!!!
