Blog 6 - Second Interview Preparation

The purpose of the second interview is to justify your mentor as an expert in the field.  Thus, you will be asking them at least 5 questions about their background and/or the background of the organization or company where they work.

1.  Who is your mentor and where do they work?

My mentor's name is Allen Barreno and he is a professional project electrical engineer. He works at BERG Power Engineers in West Covina, CA. 

2.  What five* questions will you ask them about their background?
  • Tell me about the most challenging engineering project you've been involved with over the past year.
  • Tell me about a time when you became aware of a hazardous workplace condition. How did you handle it?
  • Give me an example of when you had to teach a skill to another engineer.
  • Tell me about your experience in dealing with routine engineering work. How do you keep from getting bored?
  • For what advice or assistance do fellow engineers turn to you?
  • Give me two examples of technical decisions you had to make on your last job?
  • In the field of engineering, priorities often change quickly. Give me an example of a time when that happened. How did you handle it?


The interview is due 10/25 by 8AM in Q&A format to turnitin.com.
