In this video I go over engineering interviews and what to expect. I focus mainly on interviews for internships and entry level jobs.
Note that everything in this video can apply to an engineering jobs OR an internship.
When interviewing for an engineering company it's possible that you'll be asked technical questions. These are questions where you may have to draw a free body diagram, solve a simple circuit problem, or write a simple program on the whiteboard. These won't be too in depth but it's important to have a foundation for basic engineering principles.
You'll be asked some typical interview questions which I discuss in the video such as "What was one obstacle you've had to overcome as an engineer?"
And don't forget to ask questions at the end! You want to show that you have an interest in working for the company. You can even prepare questions beforehand that you will ask at the end of the interview.
Interviews will all differ but these were some consistent aspects that I came across and heard from people.

You are so underrated ... The quality of your videos ... Dont give up ! You will become big !
Thanks Geordi! Really appreciate the comment.
MajorPrep but seriously, your videos are fantastic, and I went 3 videos before realizing that your subs we're not in the hundreds of thousands.
UA-cam is ruining itself inside out
All because ad money....
The guy is so smart tho
If you answer those questions correctly does not mean you can handle the hands on and solving real technical problem on what you will working on it. The interview is set to give the interviewer how you love and know your major. IF you failed, it does not mean you are not an engineer, just tell the interviewer that you can prove it on real technical problem by hands on and math solving. Don't lose hope my engineer friend! peace
Very insightful and informative. Thank you!
Sir,
Your videos are extremely helpful for engineering aspirants like me.You always provide us with quality content.I am glad to subscribe to a channel like yours.
Please keep making content like this. We are always looking forward to you!
Best Wishes.
Thank you!
Great vid man thank you so much!!! Great help
Had a couple interviews with component makers like Texas Instruments (I'm also an EE major). They actually get impatient when you think out loud and don't just spit out the answer. It feels more like a hazing session than an interview to see if someone will be a good investment as an employee. I'm kind of losing hope in the job search.
Any Update?
@@hanibaydoun9423 I got a job with a small product safety certification company, and I love it. No high pressure to squeeze out project finishes, good pay, good benefits. Hardly any extra work beyond the normal 9-5 grind.
@@braceyourselvesfortruth2492 congratulations!!!!
@@anwaaraslam723 thanks, life is going good, just trying to learn all the ropes
bro...can ask for internship advise? I think the interview I going to have in following Friday is the same company.
Zach, your channel is great!

This is awesome thank you so much
Thanks for sharing your experience with us
100%! Are you an engineer? Let us know if you have any questions, cheers!
Jake Voorhees I'm an electrical engineering student
In some mechanical interviews they tell you to take about a device and I identify the sensors and why they are included on this device. This was at iRobot. Haven't heard back yet.
Thank you, really helped in my interview
They asked me about the bode plot and to solve a simple circuit
I totaly agree and here are some helpful tips as well
Nice!!! Great video, been waiting for your release of this one, as you mentioned it weeks ago. There is a ton of great advice here guys! And wow thank you so much for linking my channel in the description man, appreciate that soooo much :) !!!
This was really helpful, I love it!
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life
doing electrical engineering and this helped so much. still in my second year and this will help alot next year.
How are you doing? And do you have free time or do you have to be doing a lot of research all the time?
How was it first interview I am in my last year of electronic engineering technology
Great advice
good sir I am a second year student of aeronautical engineering and i likes your videos so much every one.....I saw and i got that....very nice.....for future path as was i the pre mature journey to post mature....this helps
nice... keep it going
It seems easy, until you actually get there 😂💯
i love your videos
Please make a video on electronic and communications engineering, I'm a matured student starting in autumn and very very nervous about what to expect
kingsford akomaning keep on pushing bruh
kingsford akomaning I hope you see this comment, how’s your job that you got? (:
Same
You deserve a million sub
Thank you!
He'll get there :)
@@JakeVoorhees he did! ;)
Can you do a video on Quantity Surveying? Nice video btw...
kewl!
On that "Salary Negotiations" part, why do some people (especially managers, CEOs, etc) put down "$1" as their salary expectation, even though they know they are most likely getting far more than that in terms of total compensation? Examples include: Mark Zuckerberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger, John F. Kennedy, Elon Musk, and more.
I am currently about to start my second year of college and I have yet to pick a major. I know I want to do something in the physical sciences but I am not sure what. I have been finding your videos very helpful. thank you
well how did it go
@@ferda7102he dead
Salary isn't a big thought in the UK. Graduate scheme engineering roles here typically start between 27-33k
You are amazing bro, Im a colombian looking for a chance on a double degree program at sfu and I fell your videos have given me a lot of directions towards the situation in America. Now, if the opportunity comes, I will be prepared on what to expect.
What do you recommend doing if you accept two job offers? I got one offer early on in a location I am not crazy about, and accepted because I was initially interested. Then a company in my city of choice offered me a job and I accepted that immediately.
Another reason I accepted the second one, the first offer I received requires security clearance, and a long road to employment. I was worried that I would not make it through and did not want to decline the other offer only to find out I didn't make the security clearance.
I would tell the first company that I am no longer interested. What did you end up doing?
If I get a electronics engineering technology bachelors will I still be able to get a engineering job and not a technician job?
Why do u always use the same background music
What if you’ve applied to 50+ entry-level Electrical Engineering positions and you still haven’t even gotten a phone interview...
That honestly sounds pretty accurate to me. I got 3 interviews off probably 75-100 job applications. So nothing that insane. Look for opportunities at your school or career fairs and all that stuff.
MajorPrep thank you, that makes me feel a lot less hopeless. It has only been a month or so of looking, but I was definitely getting discouraged. I also have decided to go to graduate school in 2018 to get my masters in Control Systems.
I can’t go to job fairs at the university I graduated from because that was in NY and I have moved to AZ. I may move to CA depending on if I cannot find a job here.
Yeah just keep trying man, I know that rejection or simply NEVER hearing back doesn't feel good, but you're not alone. Hopefully after the master's things change as well but it takes time.
Hey Jason, I know how you feel. I applied to 60+ jobs in 2011 and still only got interviews at places where I knew people. 80% of jobs are no even publicised online, so you have to be an incredible candidate to just come in off the street. I highly encourage you to network more, as it's all about who you know. There's a wholllleeee list of things you can do to boost that :) How's everything going right now? Cheers!
Jake Voorhees Thanks for the encouragement, if you can, check my comment on MajorPrep’s “Dream Employers for Engineering Students”.
I am employed now, but I gave a little background!
What if someone who has never had experienced on managing other people on any projects?
I really wanna know what happens with this one. I don't have any experience managing projects of any sort and I am about to start final year of my degree. Job interviews are not too far away.
If you haven't ever managed people on projects it's okay. So if they ask you about a time when you managed people you can say something like "I haven't formally been in charge of managing a team, but I have been assigned a specific task on a large project where I was expected to....." and you can talk about how you had to kind of manage your own task on the project so that everything fit together in the end. Even if it's not engineering related, I'm sure there is something you can come up with.
What about Civil Engineering, I graduated two years ago and haven't had much experience apart from my degree. Is there any tips you can give me?
Your Major? Does that mean the job you are applying for?
thnx
Let us know if you have questions, thanks!
what does he mean by algorithms? Coding, newton-raphson, etc? What are "algorithms"?
like data structures
Step by step solutions to problems. Newton raphson is a numerical algorithm, what he means is that they'll present you with a problem and you'll have to write an algorithm to solve it. What are you studying?
do they care about my summer job ? lets say I work there for 3-4 years
If your summer job has nothing to do with engineering you could still include it and maybe talk about managerial experience or something. But no they won't look over it too much unless it relates to the company you're applying for.
good thank you ! :)
I fucking love you
East Wast pointed Tread mill
What is UAV ?
Unmanned aircraft vehicle or something similar
Guy I am just laughing😂😂😂
Will i be able to find an engineer job with 1-3 misdemeanors? I live in California and im starting to question to further my BS in the STEM field
Where I live, working for large industrial companies a criminal background check is almost a given.
I’ve been a pipefitter for almost 18 years and I’ve always been interested in becoming an engineer! I got an interview for Siemens Energy for an early entry engineer position! I don’t know what to expect and I hope my mechanical background helps me in this interview.
I saw my professor at Bukit bingtang what should i do?
Jezan Ko take them out for a nice lunch and seduce them.
Austin Drapen she is asian.
Jezan Ko obviously lunch will not do. Have you tried using math to seduce them?
I actually got the Elon Musk riddle right!
0 dislikes wow I am impressed
You jinxed it
Isn’t the solution to the Musk riddle: you can be anywhere?
Equator would be another guess of mine, but if it’s infinite, then I’d say it’s anywhere
No you can’t be anywhere, on earth you could only be at the North Pole, it would have to be a much smaller sphere for it to have the infinite solutions
@@BurgoYT
Why would the size of the sphere change anything?
My take on Elon Musk's riddle is that i am where i started. Easy
On the surface of the earth where I stood.
NAME AN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE COMPONENT.
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA
Is the Elon musk answer: on the surface of the earth? Lol doesn’t say how specific the answer has to be
So I was thinking that you would make a circle with a circumference of one mile with the South Pole at the center, then you start anywhere that’s 1 mile above that.
U got me at the Elon Musk's interview😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
65K!!! damn engineers in the west are damn rich, and they deserve it, imagine here if you have 20K you are lucky and some stupid engineers boast about it.
Ibnziyad Tariq not really $65k could be lower depending on the county you live In cause the money exchange rate is different everywhere
* in the US, in most of the "west" they're not paid that much.
Cough* sorry 🤧jk
What? lol
Did anyone else not figure out the Elon musk riddle? No just me?
