Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe one time you failed at something and how you managed that?
The interviewers described the role in greater detail and then asked me around 4 general questions and 2 technical questions related to process modeling. Lastly, they open time for the interviewee to ask their own questions.
overall easy with basic process question. Interviewers look for understanding in all key areas of process with interdisciplinary knowledge. knowledge of simulation and flare is added advantage. supplementary evidence of practical applications is helpful. Overall a easy process
