Civil Engineering Interview Questions

Some Common Questions asked in every interview are as follows: 1) Introduce Yourself
and tell me about your achievements (if any). 2) Why do you think this job is best for you or
why you are the best person for this job ? 3) In which company you are doing job and why
you want to leave it ? 4) Some People would also ask you about your strengths and
weaknesses. 5) What is your currentSalary ? 6) Some people would also inquire about your
hobbies etc.
Technical Questions Asked in an interview depends on the type of job like if the job is
related to Inspecting a Site (Site Engineer) then most of the questions will be related to
field and tests performed in field and in lab. The Most Important thing which a person
should keep in mind is that the person who is taking your interview will look for
the confidence in you.It is not compulsory that you answer all the questions perfectly or
you to know each any every answer of the questions asked but what ever you say
with confidence and if u dont know an answer always remember that dont give wrong
answer as it will have bad effect on them. Say that i dont have the answer in mind right
now or just say sorry i dont know. Eye contact is important while giving answer it will also
make a good impression on them. Dress Properly and speak like an engineer. Try to give
answer in the same language the question was asked. Some of the General Questions
can be found as follows:1.
