Midas IT Services Technical Sales Support Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I mentioned about all my credentials in my resume in a very compact and precise manner, so that more information in conveyed in few words. This I hoped would also impress the evaluators.
I had previously prepared a resume for my internship. I prepared my job resume with the help of this resume. I applied for only 2 companies and while applying in these companies I used the same resume but only ameliorated my areas of interest.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The company shortlisted candidates on the basis of their resume. What I inferred from the shotlisting procedure was that one only needed to possess some research experience and a good internship to get shortlisted. For Midas 14 candidates were shortlisted from the Civil Engineering department.
The only round the company conducted was the personal interview round. The interview was of 40 minutes duration. Surprisingly I wasn’t asked any technical questions throughout the interview though the others were asked a few of them. In the technical questions that were asked to others the interviewers mainly focused on structural engineering part. I was only asked some H.R. questions. They were basically trying to assess my personality through their questions.

The shortlisted candidates were called for the interviews.The interview panel consisted of three members. One of them was constantly bombarding me with technical questions, whereas the other two were doing an assessment of my personality ensuring that survival outside India won’t be a problem for me.The technical questions were based on my areas of interest i.e. on IC engines and fluid machinery. The questions on fluid machinery were mainly from pumps. In one of the questions i was asked that if water at certain pressure is kept on ground level, then till what height will the water rise). The other question was to state the differences between compressor, blower and fan. There were no questions asked from IC engines.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Technical questions will generally be based on your resume and your experiences firstly then they will move on to general technical questions. According to my resume, I was asked questions on geotechnical earthquake engineering and after that I was asked some general questions on structural engineering like what is the 2D stiffness matrix for truss element, what is flat slab construction, some BM diagrams, etc.
They also asked me the general HR questions like what are my strengths and weakness, why should they choose me and how am I suitable for the profile offered.  They also asked me about my future goals and whether I am comfortable with traveling and working outside. They generally want people who can go outside India and still be a good fit within team with people from different nationalities.
