I expected this to be comedy but I ended up learning about interviews. Thanks a lot!

This was a very accurate portrayal of a typical interview for a mechanical engineering position at a large tech company. The steel aluminum question is a classic. Love how you inadvertently said hit me😂

Mechanical Design Engineer here. I did 3 interviews (2019). 267 applicants, 20 went to phone interview (just voice), 10 went to 1st in person interview with prospective manager and 2 other engineer managers, 5 went to final interview with the director, future manager, and 1 other lead engineer. I beat them all 😎. The director and other engineer were gauging my personality and ability to work cross discipline and culture fit. This time my future manager gave me technical questions like this video, I used a white board to initially problem solve for 5-10min before presenting a final answer. THEY DON'T CARE IF YOU GET THE RIGHT ANSWER. They want to see how you THINK how you PROBLEM SOLVE. That's what an engineer is, a problem solver. Beat all 267 applicants, out of college starting at $84k (Sacramento, CA). His reactions to feeling like he killed a question and then being surprised by another is SPOT ON. Side note: if asked a technical question requiring a formula you haven't memorized, be honest and ask for the formula they WILL give it to you. Also, always have ready "So what questions do you have?" questions. I go for "What's your favorite part of working for XXXX?" Or "What fundamentals of engineering do you most commonly finding yourself looking up during a design phase?" Or "What's the most difficult engineering problem you've faced workjng for XXXX?". I find these questions throw off the interviewer in a good way. It makes them think the way they made you think and is the cherry on top to making a memorable impression. Go out there and GET PAID.

It's taken me about 22 interviews to finally get my first job as an Aerospace Engineer. This is so accurate🤣😂

Accurate 100%. I hate interviews so much. Feels like you take 10 exams at once and then you find out that you have to take them again 2-3 time more. In real life, no one would expect you to respond to questions or solve 10 problems in one hour. When you work on a project, you have weeks or months. It would be better if the first interview would be just getting to know you and for the second they would just invite you over to their place and let you work there for a day. They can see what you're like, better that way.

"My plan for large scale production of prototype?" has been the most consistent questions in all of my interviews, and it turns out, Injection Moulding is always the right answer.

this was an incredibly stressful video to watch as someone a semester away from graduation lol

I’m a chem Eng major and you motivate me to understand more than memorize, thank you!

Great video ,I realised that the secret to making a million is making better investment. i always tell myself you don't need that new car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing

That was a Interview Tutorial, thanks man. You made my opinion clear that before going on to some complex stuffs, I should strengthen my Basics

As someone who is going through quite a few engineering interviews this is scarily accurate

Haha this is a very precise representation of a classic mechanical engineering interview! In my personal experience, I’ve always noticed recruiters asking questions that will assess your knowledge of the engineering field, as well as your creative problem-solving abilities to turn a theoretical device into a real product. Superb video as always Tamer :)

I feel so damn fortunate that I only had to get through one job interview myself to get my job in engineering.

This is so eye opening, thank you for sharing this

This was such a great video. 😄 Thank for good stuff like this

Thanks a lot for making this ! 🙏🏾

Bro, your content is gold. You do a really great job with your videos. Keep it up!

Well, I did the interview with 4 engineers and 1 psychologist, some of their questions are : 1. What is the max temperature of steel that can held up until it got melted 2. How to weld different alloy materials ( refers to the welding tools) 3. Draw a diagram of aluminum, at what point it gets the yield point, and what happen at that point 4. What is critical stress, what are the causes, and how that happen There's few more, but I don't remember the rest. Oh and it's a specialist trainee job at refinery (crude oil). Good luck

Thank you man, found this very useful!

This video got me the job I have now, Cheers to you man!!

Dude so creative 😂 and informative!

Keep up the great work work m8! You’re a natural at this.

This video was actually pretty helpful, thanks!

pretty good. ive realized that interview questions are bs. it doesn't matter if they are wrong or right, as long as you can support yourself well and seem passionate about it, theres really no wrong answer lol.

This is fantastic!

I recently had an interview - to be a cashier - at my local grocery store. The funniest part about this video - is the grocer was just as serious about putting bottles on shelves - as an engineer designing a 100ft tall "glass table top", that can hold 10,000 pounds, and hovers over a concrete parking lot, filled with pedestrians. Just as serious.

Thanks this was an incredibly amazing video.

You got the hollow cylinder question wrong: as the inertia of the hollow (mr^2) is bigger than the full body (mr^2/2) , the hollow reaches second

As a recent engineering graduate struggling to get a job I found this video scary and comical- just like my four years.

These videos are getting better 🔥

Love your videos.

Sooo funny.... And yet useful questions... Keep it up man

Very informative video Thanks for guiding us Now gonna work on basics so Can crack any interview

Very accurate! I just did an interview with Shell here in Canada. Was two hours long, one hour being technical questions and one hour behaviour based. Extremely key to prepare on what concepts that are outlined in the posting, especially for the technical portion! Luckily I was successful and got the job !

I love this!

what a video! great tips, I hope they help me!! 😃

Great video! Thanks

Amazing bro thank you

Really great video. I've done probably a dozen interviews in my career (I got an offer more than half of the time) and I got asked technical questions like the examples pretty infrequently actually. I kind of wish I actually got asked those more often because then I could show off what I know. Although when I've been on the other side of the table I've been a bit reluctant to ask those because I rely on search engines and computer programs so often myself I don't find it fair to ask questions like that unless the person has a computer. Honestly the next time I need to interview someone I'll think about giving them a laptop if it's an in person interview and asking them some easy questions or telling them it's ok to use Google or other programs if it is a video call just to make sure they can do this sort of work.

The lightbulb riddle is so cool.

The lightbulb question stumps almost everyone! I’ve asked a ton of friends and only one has ever figured it out.

Nice video! In the question about a solid and hollow rods sliding, I think the right answer would be that the solid one reaches the ground faster due to it having lower moment of inertia, so less resistance to roll (hollow is always slower). Both have the same energy=mgh, but when sliding the one with higher inertia will have less translational velocity. I'm not 100% sure though.

Great video! I wished I could answer as quickly and to the point as you though.. My interviews usually have a lot of hiccups of me trying to remember stuff from class

A very successful interview!!! Great! :D

Man, Engineering interviews are something else. 😅 Similar to the interview that lend me my first role with ITM at UNDP as green energy intern. Excellent portrayal right here 🙌🏾👍🏾

Tamer Your Videos are amazing and super helpful 🥺🙏

KZfaq just recommended this video to me and I love it 🥰 🥰🥰 Thanks a lot I’m an automobile engineer in my final year

I feel like your account is super underrated and you definitely deserve more subs than what you have currently. :') Thank you for motivating me to stay sane because these videos makes us feel valid.

"PC is harder to machine than PP" - same guy who literally just said it's going to be injection molded 10 seconds ago

most accurate parody i've seen so far!

The second Interview took me by surprise too the funny party was that I had a final one after the second one!!!

This is well executed.

Great video bro. It would be interesting if you could make a video about your second resume of the pros of that resume and your critique of it.

I love you so much you are my inspiration to continue working on my aerospace engineering degree hoping to be like you one day tamer

I watched this right before my first ever internship interview and knowing that I could ask for a few seconds to think helped me immensely

how did I not find your channel earlier! You're a mechanical engineer just like me (but you're way more proactive!)

learning and development!!!

On point!

I have had dozens of engineering interviews and I have never been asked any of those kinds of generic questions. I don't know if this is specific to the industry I am in or maybe geographically specific, but every question I have been asked was very focused on the type of product I would have been dealing with. Most of the interviews I have had were in aerospace engineering, more specifically for mechanical design positions, repair analysis positions and manufacturing analysis positions. The typical question would be to receive drawings and determine the type of manufacturing, the function of parts, to find features on a drawing and describe them, etc. There is also a general emphasis on projects done (this is the moment to shine with extracurricular activities boys and girls). Depending on the industry, there may be generic questions about the fundamentals of the products too. For instance, a typical question from a turbine engine manufacturer would be to describe the engine cycle or to determine what type of turbine engine you are looking at (given a drawing of some sort). Long story short, be prepared for the specific details of what you are applying for. Also come prepared with decent past projects to showcase your skills, they can make or break an interview a solid 90% of the time.

Very entertaining but true. Not many appreciate how weird questions can become.

I’m kind of thinking of entering ME - these videos both stress me out and inspire me :) I understand and enjoy the content, it is only the effort that I’d have to put in that makes me apprehensive. i know that as long as I fine tune my skills and put in the effort, I will do great. Maybe lol. I want to do great.

Ayeee yooo! It be like that! DEADASS!!!

Yup! Got that exact rolling cylinder question!

As someone who just got a graduate role in a large engineering company, I would say that anything outside your bachelors like, internships, Research roles, Master's degrees and personal projects are critical for reducing the amount of failed interviews you go on. I applied to about 20 jobs with one interview and one offer, at my first choice, before I have even graduated. All because I ticked all of their boxes and could sell myself well.

The part where there are more interviews hits hard lmao

Underrated

Tamer you are the best thank u very much

so true brother i recently given 3 technical interviews and i i can feel that....

Great video, but I must make a materials engineer touch to it :) Aluminum has greater ductility than steel so you should have ended its stress strain diagram at a greater elongation of break.

LOL the "wait, there is more?!?!" part is too accurate.

That single good after asking how your day was killed me 😂😂😭😭

Lol, I am looking for a job in IT (Information Technology) dealing mainly with tech support. Typically, it takes me at most two interviews to land a job. The first interview would primarily serve as an introduction. A second interview will be scheduled if they like me, which will be either a technical interview or a casual interview. In either case, the first round could be a casual getting to know you interview, followed by a technical interview, or vice versa. I am thankful that I am not aiming for a software developer or an engineer with three to five stages of interviews. Retail and restaurants are easy to get into with at most one round of interviews. Anything outside of that industry could be more than one.

Bro need a video specifically on *mechanical design* some tips and ur experience so far in the industry.

Bruh, I just got back from my 4th round of interviews to find this on my feed.

Hey, really nice video and the others too! I was wondering if they actually ask those kind of questions about materials and the other calculation questions in job interviews. It seems really close to the material you study in the mechanicale engineering courses.

yup, okay, i'm actually taking notes

Hi, I love your channel, very useful stuff. On this video I believe though, both answers of the rolling cylinders are wrong. It depends on how the mass is distributed away from the axis. There is an amazing lecture from Walter Lewin at MIT on this matter.

This video makes me really nervous. I'm close to graduating. I'm breezing through my senor year and feel like I don't know anything. I actually was able to answer all the questions you used in this but still feel like in a interview my questions will be something I really don't understand that well.

Thank you for this!! Could you make a video on how to have a better chance of getting more interviews.

I suck at arithmetic but this kind of makes me want to study mechanical engineering. Seems like you actually get to think about interesting stuff at work.

I’m going to my second year of Uni as a Mechanical Engineer and Icl, Watching this video scares me… Ain’t easy man 😅

The stress of engineering interviews are real, but you seem like a pro. How were you able to simulate the google meet interview with yourself? I’ve been trying to simulate this in my videos lol

you didn't mention the marathon that is presentation + consecutive panel interviews lol

The "nooo not yet I can't see.. oh oh I got it" It happened to me today 🤣🤣🤣 Literally everytime Dude you killed it 🤣

Swear thought your were flash from mcu spiderman. Great vid

Funny. Software eng here, but our tech interviews are similar in nature, topically diff obviously. Def have had the light bulb question before.

i'we been on two interviews and they went like this: -You want to work here? -yes -you're hired

Very accurate

Actually hollow rod rolls down slower because it has greater moment of inertia

I like to stick to the company’s that send assessments as the first interview

I don't know shit about engineering, but i'm taking the ielts test soon and your professional range of vocabulary helps a lot.

The last part though lol

Plot twist: Tamer is actually preparing for his next interview

Bro you are awesome Can you please make a vido on questions asked in electrical engineering student interview

Three lights question. Turn 1 on, remove all wires from switch 2, short wired together on Three. Go upstairs verify 1 is on, measure 2 and 3 on DVM, I'm an EE.... LOL

OMG so relatable 😂😂

Love from Bangladesh and i really love your physics probs

I conduct a lot of mechanical interview questions and I put a good amount of work to not ask all the basic stress strain questions and ask quality questions based on basic physics and math.

Bro, Love ur content! Can u pls make a video about cheap universities for international engineering students? 😊🙏

As an aspiring engineer still in high school I feel intimidated xD
