Civil engineer Interview Questions

personal answer

Pretty standard questions, I think the less you expose about your 'background' and the less you talk about your skill gaps the greater the chances you have of securing a role. Talk more about positives, and never doubt yourself in terms of your skills. If you underestimate your current skill set, do not mention it as a weakness or that you don't know how to do it but just say that you've got very limited knowledge in that particular field and are happy to improve upon it once inside the company. Always mention that you want to secure a permanent role within the company. Check whether the interviewees are CHARTED, do not mention that you want to become a charted engineer if they are not charted.

Why did you choose civil engineering

A: Answered based on my experience, elaborating the potential issues and steps I would take to resolve/rectify the situation. Keep in mind that these type of organisations sometimes require not only technical knowledge but related policy/license requirements that would make them to act. Generally can be answered straight forward if you have experience in the advertised role.

Telling them how quick, punctual, smart and good looking I was....ha ha. I can't remember.
