Not sure if this is the right board to ask this but it sure seems the most "sober" so I'm taking the shot.

>Master degree mechanical engineer here
I'm interviewing for a graduate job position at Mistubishi Heavy Industries for a steam/gas turbine related job which entails one year abroad in Japan for formation.

What will likely be asked in the interview?

My Mech E. friends have said that interviews are often hypothetical-project-based. Like, "okay we're making this thing. What material should you use and why?"

then "okay how big should you make it"

or some shit idk I'm not an engineer

Engineering is very hard to predict questions for. Specially without seeing a job ad.

I see... although I don't believe it'll be like that, honestly. Since the position is for a graduate engineer, I not sure they'll be asking many techy question... but then again, how the fuck would I know?

My best guesses. I'm assuming you'd also have to complete some sort of technical aptitude test or simulation. Which is impossible to predict.

lol, wtf? Using a pump? Although if you have a closed circuit the pump could be much smaller because of the weight of the water coming down would "help" the pump.

Are you being interviewed by Japanese? They like to do a panel type interview. I once was interviewed by the manager, vp, and presidenet of a small company at the same time. I was sweating buckets.

>> No.236215

>>236204
I have no idea, but probably yes.
It is a Japanese company after all and I believe that is their modus operandi: 3 bosses, 1 desk and 1 sorry ass trying to get the position.

Did you make it?

>> No.236616

Nope. Kinda glad though. Every Japanese company I've worked for I've been miserable in. Drone mentality
