Verified Interview Questions with Model
Answers and Proven Strategies
• Have you ever faced adversity (when things seemed against you)?
Explain. -✓✓Yes. It was about 2 weeks before I had to present my
Master's project and the research version of the software application I
needed to run some last-minute models completely crashed. This took
my advisor and I by surprise.
When unexpected challenges occur, I like to take a step back and
reassess my place. What I did to work around this issue was download
the student version of the software, which couldn't really run the
complex calculations I needed. To get around this, I created simplified
models that would help me pinpoint vulnerabilities in these models.
Once the research version began to work again, I was able to make a
better model based on my simplified ones, and present my project on
time. It was like I didn't miss a beat!
• Give me one word that described you as a child -✓✓A word I would
say is "curious"
• Rank these in order of importance: Integrity, Money and Winning -
✓✓Integrity, winning, and money. I'm a go-getter, but without having
integrity, winning doesn't mean anything.
, • Are you reactive or proactive? -✓✓I would say proactive. I try not to
take things personally. I love to plan and prepare myself for unexpected
things.
• Do you have an ego? -✓✓Everyone has an ego. Having an ego is
important for our confidence and happiness.
• What are three things you could work on? -✓✓1. Asking for help. I'm a
self-starter who likes to solve problems on their own. Sometimes I have
a difficulty of asking for help.
2. Sometimes I focus too much on the details. I like analyzing the finer
points of the task at hand. I've been trying to improve by refocusing on
the bigger picture
3. Saying no. I love to learn new things and love helping people with
projects. It has led to being burnt out at some points. To improve, I've
been working on asking people if they need help first before I interject.
• Tell me how you handle being told no? -✓✓It depends on the person
telling me no. If it is a supervisor, I will listen to them and try to
understand their reasoning.
If it's a coworker or a friend, I will have a conversation with them and
ask them for their perspective while clarifying my viewpoint.
