Driver Interview Questions

Driver Interview Questions

Drivers are responsible for many different transporting duties and drive a variety of vehicles, working primarily for hotels, delivery services, and restaurants. While each company will have its own preferences as to what they're looking for, you'll almost always encounter interview questions regarding general driving rules and your driving experience, situational questions, and questions designed to assess your customer service and interpersonal skills.

Top Driver Interview Questions & How to Answer

Question 1

Question #1: What types of vehicles are you licensed to drive?

How to answer
How to answer: This question, though very simple, is extremely important and used to gauge an applicant's versatility and skill. List all types of vehicles you're licensed to drive and how much experience you have with each. It's important to answer honestly here; most companies don't conduct driving tests. Although they're typically asked for later, it wouldn't hurt to have licenses or documents on hand.
Question 2

Question #2: What, if any, vehicle maintenance work are you able to perform?

How to answer
How to answer: Even if you aren't a trained mechanic, any automotive knowledge you may have will set you higher in the ranks among applicants. Changing tires, oil, and other fluids, and any other general motor maintenance skills are all worth mentioning. Make sure to include less mechanical, daily tasks like filling gas tanks, car washes, and detail work. Anything outside of the realm of basic responsibilities speaks highly of an applicant's work ethic.
Question 3

Question #3: How do you stay focused while driving for prolonged periods?

How to answer
How to answer: This question is meant to determine how many hours per day an applicant is able to work safely. There are many ways to stay awake and alert while on the road like drinking coffee, tea, or energy drinks. Rolling windows down for fresh air or listening to upbeat music can focus you while you drive. Whatever your trick is, sharing it will show your love of being on the road.

CONTINUED HERE AS 5000 CHARACTERS LIMIT SIZE IN THE ABOVE COLUMN -------------------------TECHNICAL ROUND I -------------------------- (2 hours 45 min -very lengthy round i have ever had) Q1) Introduce yourself technically. Q2) Asked about my projects. Q3) Asked about my educational background. Q4) How will you proceed if the kernel source code that you downloaded does not support your board? What are the steps you will take? Q5) Write all the directories in linux that will be visible to you on your system and the directories of your kernel source code that you have downloaded. Differentiate between both. (Here he asked me whether I am sure of my answers that I wrote wherein I was too confused ) Q6) What is procfs ? What is the importance of procfs? Why it has got that name? Q7) What is sysfs ? Q8) What does /dev contain? Q9) How do you create node for a block device? Q10)How do you automatically get major number without using udev ? (He asked bcoz I answered udev will automatically update. He wants me to answer by not using udev functions) Q11)Can the same number be used for creating nodes for both char and block devices? Q12)Draw the block diagram for a char device driver implementation? (I explained about char device driver by writing all steps. He then asked me further questions ) Q13)Where file_operations have been used in registration? ( I answered cdev_init(my_cdev,&my_fops) and wrote all steps) Q14)What happens if you pass major number as 0 in register_chrdev_region()? Q15)Can you make your low-level driver directly interact with application without using core layer ? Is core layer mandatory? ( He asked me this question because I drew the block diagram for keyboard low-level driver with core layer and HLD) Q16)You have registered your file_operations with VFS layer. What about ISR routine and how will you register ? Q17)How your driver initialization will take place? What is the entry point for a driver? (I answered abt init and exit routines and drivers, modules and kernel service routines do not have pids. So they are invoked in process contexts. He then asked again questions) Q18)What is a PCB? Q19)What is a Stack section? Q20)How will be variables allocated in memory? How will you access heap? Q21)How many types of interrupts are there? (I answered software and hardware. I also said abt Bottom halves) Q22)What is the difference betw. various BHs and where do you apply? Q23)Is there any precaution for softirqs running simultaneously? Why and how do you solve? (I answered: applying synchronization techniques for shared access) Q24)Difference betw. various synchronization techinques and when do you need? Q25)Why semaphores are not used for ISRs? Q26)How do you implement threads? Q27)What is the basic difference betw. multiple processes and multiple child processes? Q28)Did you write any applications? ( I said no.) Q29)Write a small application to read 4 bytes and write 4 bytes for my device /dev/ttyS0. (As it was very simple. I wrote it and he then stopped as if he were satisied by my answers. A Very long interview!) -------------------------TECHNICAL ROUND II -------------------------- (30 min) Q1) Introduce about yourself and about your work so far. Q2) Questions on all my projects. Q3) Few questions about my background. Q4) How would you allocate memory in kernel? Q5) Write a data structure with integer and character as its elements. Q6) What is the size of this data structure? (I answered about structure padding as he was expecting the same answer from me) Q7) Allocate memory in heap by using the above data structure. How will you allocate then in stack? Q8) Initialize the above data structure. Implement a function by using which print the values of the data structure elements. Q9) Asked me to correct some logic about deleting a given node in linked list. Q10)Asked some personal questions and some discussion went on package ****** END OF INTERVIEW AT 4.24PM****** MOST DIFFICULT QUESTION: Comparison of the source code with the current kernel running on my system
