text: i need to interview an engineer! before 3:40 today! e-mail me its basic questions..only 4. thank you!? one of the questions is.. 1)what was the engineering field you studied in school? 2) how much ofthe knowledge gained during your education in your field of study is applicable to your job? 3) which industry do you work in now? 4) what portion of your job is spent on eahc of the various engineering functional fields? (design, development, test, manufacturing, management,sales, and marketing)? thats it! those are mainly stupid questions. if they are coming in for a live interview, hr or someone should have already screened them that they are qualified for the job. asking those quesitons will just convince this engineer you don't have a clue. instead, tell them about a real problem someone in this job would handle, and ask them how they would go about correcting it. all the other questions are bunk.
