Engineering interviews can be daunting. With so much ground to cover, it can be difficult to guess which direction the interview will take. You might be asked more general questions about your experience, you might be asked about your personal qualities, or you could be asked highly technical questions. The best way to prepare for an engineering interview is to practice different interview questions so that you don’t get caught off guard. When you’re prepared for any type of question, you’ll be less likely to be nervous and will give a much better impression. In this article, we are going to explore some of the most common engineering interview questions we have come across. This information is the result of direct feedback from candidates and engineering companies. We’ve split some of the most common interview questions into three sections; general questions, education/ experience questions and in-depth engineering questions. We have then chosen six interview questions to explore in more detail. To make the most of this guide, we recommend learning more about the STAR interview method. We’ve provided a brief explanation below, or you can read our blog article: What Is The STAR Method When Interviewing? Once you understand how to answer questions using the STAR method, work through the list below and practice your answers. For questions that require you to explain a situation, try thinking of a few different situations so that you have a range of answers to choose from. If you’re struggling to answer any of the questions, head to the final section of this guide to see our example answers. This will help you to structure your answers in a logical way and help to keep you on track during your interview. Before you get started with the practice questions, it helps if you have a copy of your CV to hand so that you can jog your memory.
