Now Im looking to take my career to the next level and move out of

contract work into a full time employee for a company where I can be a
part of a team, but also allows me to focus my energy on my best
strength, working directly with customers. Id like to build a long
term career that lets me focus on professional growth.

1. Managed projects of up to $220,000 and totaled about $1,300,000 in gross

income during tenure.
2. Oversized materials were reused as fill material within the excavation, reducing
both disposal costs and imported backfill costs. Excavation and backfill activities
were completed without affecting rail service despite the fact that 40 percent
more contaminated material was excavated than originally planned.
3. Managed a team of 3 engineers and 3 draftsmen in structural design of heavy
civil industrial projects.
4. Consulting on difficult engineering problems for more than 400 projects: office
buildings, hotels, stadiums, apartment complexes and industrial buildings.
5. As Civil discipline task leader, performed alignment, grading design, drainage
design, contract drawings development and cost estimate. This $28M project
was completed on a short deadline of 5 months, which included last minute out of
scope add-ons.

Sometimes I can be a bit too honest when I provide feedback to coworkers. My

personality is naturally very straightforward and to the point, and most of my
colleagues really value that, but I have learned that there are times on the job when
more diplomacy is required.

I took a training class on conflict management and it really opened my eyes to the need to
communicate differently with different people. So now I am much better at providing
constructive feedback, even if it doesnt always come naturally.

Understand what you're really being told.

See if there's some truth to it.
Make a game plan for addressing it.
Thank the person for being honest (if he's also being kind).
Stop making excuses.
Understand the person's true motives.
Look for the grain of truth.
Remember that words can never hurt you.

I am driven to be the best at what I do and I want to work somewhere where Ill have
opportunities to develop my skills, take on interesting projects, and work with people I can
really learn from. Some of the most innovative thinkers in the industry work here and
thats a big reason why I would love to build a career here.

Im really driven to achieve both mine and the

companies goals and it is my belief that this stability
will allow me to do so as I grow within this role. Five

years down the road I see myself growing into a

supervisor or manager where Ill be able to use my skills
to support and influence others.

Well, if such situation then my first priority would be to look within

myself and try to find out any shortcomings or lack of skills and
techniques. If such things happen then I would try to improve and
rectify myself. Still if I dont get an answer then I will speak to my
seniors and colleagues to learn my mistakes so that I become more user
friendly to my organization.

I saw an article in Business Week about your new CEO John Jacobs and the firms
renewed focus on technology innovation.
I consider myself an innovator and I would love to work for an organization thats leading
the future of the industry.
I would like to work with your company because I believe in the value of teamwork and so when I
saw the vacancy with your company, I had to make sure my application was put in. I also love to
work in your company because I strongly believe in working with other people towards a common
goal and I know my skills and ideas I bring not only as an engineer but as team member will
make us valuable teammate.

While Ive generally agreed with most of the decisions that my former boss and I have had to make, there
are a couple of circumstances that come to mind. In both cases, I chose to assess why it was that I
disagreed with my superior and tried to come up with a different plan of action that we both might approve
of. From each of these experiences, I was able to learn how to compromise while boosting my
communication skills and deepening my relationships with fellow coworkers.
Dont forget that this question is just another chance for your interviewer learn more about you.

As an Engineer I would try to give a logical explanation mostly in mathematical way. If he withstand
with his decision then I am with boss, support the company as team member and do my job
whatever is given to me and try to put my best.
Firstly, I would make the analysis on comparison between my points and boss's points, will collect all
the data using which I can convince him, then will set up a one on one meeting for the discussion
and will put forward the data in a way that he do not get hurt. And as we all would be working for
betterment of organization, so if he feels that his idea is best one to implement than would follow that
and would try to give my best on it.

You are not only hiring employee from outside, you are hiring new ideas, new talent, innovation.
The company might be thinking that Old broom knows the corners of the house but the new broom
cleans the floor better. I'm sure you are looking for a combination of both and that why I'm getting
interviewed today.

For the right opportunity I am definitely willing to relocate. I believe that this position and
company is that opportunity.
Yes sir, location doesn't matter. I can give my best performance in anywhere because I love my job
and my responsibilities and I want to get experience from any kind of environment. "Experience
makes a man perfect".
Sir, I am ready to even work on moon.
