Detail a situation that you had exclusive control to improve or attain a construction deliverable that was likely to be unattainable under the original project direction. It could be that there were mutually unforseen issues at the time of contracting, it could be under-experienced estimators or contract administrators didn't have subject matter expertise in directing the construction activities or planning the resources necessary to facilitate the construction deliverables. Make sure to detail what experience you had that empowered you to make the change or support the actual work under the circumstances. Show how you could deliver the same value for the interviewer's company for their benefit.

- Preparar las respuestas: Practicar tus respuestas a preguntas comunes. por ejemplo, informarse a fondo sobre la empresa para la que te entrevistarás. Conoce su filosofía, valores y proyectos relevantes. Esto demuestra interés y preparación. Ser claros y concisos al describir tus habilidades, experiencia pero sobre todo conocimiento del terreno donde estas pisando.

Bring an understanding of the industry in the area of topic. For every industry there are local economic influences that can be extremely vital to your position. Rather in be weight stations or scales for large deliveries or limits for certain permits. A simple call to a few competitors in the area might expose some very insightful information. Opening an interview with a question that shows your interest in the details of daily operations will always leave a strong impression.

Definitivamente la mejor manera de dar una impresión duradera durante una entrevista es con nuestro curriculum y portafolio. Por encima de toda la educación, diplomas, certificaciones y demás( (que si bien es cierto, son parte fundamental e indisplensable del curriculum, y son nuestra carta de validación de conocimientos), centrarse en hablar de los proyectos que se ha gestionado, las etapas en las que se estuvo involucrado, la manera en la que se lideraron dichos proyectos y dar ejemplos de como se resolvieron posibles "problemas" durante la ejecución, asi como explicar los resultados del proyecto, permitirán al entrevistador ver que se cuenta con la experiencia necesaria para el puesto al que se está aplicando.

3 Dress professionally and arrive on time

First impressions matter, especially in a professional setting. Dress appropriately for the industry and the company culture. Avoid wearing anything too casual, flashy, or distracting. Aim for a clean, neat, and comfortable look that reflects your confidence and competence. Arrive at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time of the interview. This will give you some buffer to deal with any unexpected delays, and show your respect and punctuality.

5 Ask insightful questions

Asking questions is not only a way to get more information about the job and the company, but also a way to show your interest, curiosity, and initiative. Prepare some questions in advance that demonstrate your research and knowledge of the company and the project. Avoid asking questions that are too basic, personal, or irrelevant. Focus on questions that relate to the role, the expectations, the challenges, and the opportunities. For example, you can ask about the project team, the communication methods, the performance indicators, or the feedback process.

Highlight your main qualifications and strengths, and address any concerns or questions they may have raised during the interview. Keep it brief, professional, and personalized.

In my opinion, balance should be maintained in the interview. Whatever they asked, he answered. Additional explanations in interviews and negotiations are the biggest mistakes people make. Focusing on the question and answering the question can be effective. In the interview, we can give examples from the experiences gained. Explaining about honesty, teamwork, responsibility, follow-up and solving problems is very effective. And doing all of the above in action.
