Civil 3D Corridor Modeling Test Interview Result | Mistakes & Solution
Two things businesses need to pay attention to in their industries are what their competition is doing and the customers. You may not always agree with your competitors but it is important to be aware of what changes they are making. Very well. I have been in the industry for over 6 years.
Emotional intelligence, or EQ, has come into vogue as a good trait to hire for. EQ is the ability to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, to recognize other peoples emotions and your own, and to discriminate between different feelings and label them appropriately. EQ is considered essential to help teams function well. Here are some of the top questions for help you get an idea of how candidates perceive their emotions and those of others. 1. If you started a company today, what would its top values be? 2. Who inspires you? Why? 3. How could you create more balance in your life? 4. What makes you angry? 5. How do you have fun? 6. How good are you at asking for help? 7. How did you deal with a bad day? 8. Whats something youre really proud of? Why? 9. Tell me about a time when your mood altered your performance (positively or negatively). 10. Has there ever been a time when you felt you needed to change your behavior at work? How did you do it? 11. Did you create friendships that lasted while working at a previous job?
Any candidate can read and regurgitate the companys “About” page. So, when interviewers ask this, they arent necessarily trying to gauge whether you understand the mission-they want to know whether you care about it. Start with one line that shows you understand the companys goals, using a couple key words and phrases from the website, but then go on to make it personal. Say, “Im personally drawn to this mission because…” or “I really believe in this approach because…” and share a personal example or two.
Most situations are “fixable” – the ones that are not are typically related to business ethics (someone is cheating the company, someone is stealing, etc)
It is becoming increasingly important for medical assistants to be knowledgeable about computers. If you are a long-time computer user with experience with different software applications, mention it. It is also a good idea to mention any other computer skills you have, such as a high typing rate, website creation, and more.
Let me start out, that this post was originally inspired by the recent Civil 3D Reminders, Civil 3D Interview Questions post, which according to Chris’ last post is no longer going to be around after today (April 1st). I really enjoyed the post and found that it dug up early Civil 3D memories I had completely forgotten about. After reading the post, I could not stop thinking about it. I really wanted to either write a comment or a post in reply. As you can see, I decided to write a post.
There are three modes I often find myself in, research mode, thinking mode, and asking mode. Research mode is when I am trying to find someone else’s answer to a problem that they have already solved. Thinking mode often comes after research mode comes up dry and I have to solve the problem myself. Additionally, asking mode comes up interspersed along the trail.
How does this connect with CAD Masters Inc? Not all problems are going to be researchable, at least via Google. If you dig deep enough into your Autodesk software, you’re going to run into problems that no one else has published the solutions for. This is why it is important to work with a value added reseller (VAR) such as CAD Masters. There are a couple of reasons for this. One of them is that we run into a lot of different problems. Way more than there is time for us to publish answers for. Another reason is that we have many employees here that we can bounce ideas off of. It’s amazing what can be solved as a group whereas the problem might be impossible for a single person to think of on their own.
When you are hiring someone, not only do you want them to be able to power through and research the solution, you want them to be able to think their way through a problem. The more esoteric the topic, the more likely that they are going to have to think their way out of it. You also want in an employee that does not mind asking for help when they are really stuck. I do not mean asking for help when they are remotely stuck and have not even tried to go through either mode (research or thinking) but rather one that knows when both methods are not getting them anywhere and it is time to ask for help.
Finally, there are no correct answer to these questions. Even if they do not know who their reseller was, there’s likely a difficult problem in Civil 3D that they’ve had to solve on their own. You can ask about that. These are just some ideas of questions that you can use to determine how well they know Civil 3D or any other software package that the potential hire claims to be an expert in.
These are a Few of My Favorite Right Civil 3D Questions
There are probably a bunch of left questions too, but I don’t live in a Commonwealth nation. Eheh.
Let’s just call them Disturbed Civil 3D Questions and be done with that.
Register on the site. Visit our Members section for help and videos on all the following in Civil 3D.
“Do I need this in this drawing at all?”
The classic barf it all in and move around the bits of vomit method could have and should have died with LDT. Survey in Civil 3D killed the old sordid vomit method, but the odds are you may have never bothered to notice.
A single drawing to publish Survey data never existed in the first place. Get over it.
Survey Dbs are project-based resources as valuable as any project DREF (Data Reference).
See the Civil 3D Survey at Jump Speed page.
“Is there such a thing as A point in Civil 3D?”
No. All Point features and labels in Civil 3D are always resolved and collected whether we like that, believe it, or not. If Civil 3D Point resolution and collection always happen, we need to learn to manage to manage all of that at the same time.
Does a finished Civil 3D project contain more proposed Points than existing Points?
Unless the project contains point cloud data – Probably. But because point cloud data and surface point data is not always Civil 3D Point data in the first place… The survey says…Yes. “You say yes, I say no no no” There is a Beatles Magical Mystery Tour song in there somewhere.
The point is…Where and how we answer this question tells us a lot about how we think and act regarding location and Civil 3D design process and our ability to deliver Intelligent On Demand publication.
See the Points in Civil 3D and Civil 3D Point Wizardry sections.
“How many existing surfaces are there?”
The tensioned surface of an Ah Ha moment. This is a trick question. The existing adjective in the question is superfluous, of course. We need as many surfaces, of many types, that our project requires.
The more important question is how do we mutually manage together and publish all the many surfaces in our project? This begs another question…
“Are Surface data management and Project data management different?”
The question is not when and what to DREF (Data Reference), the most important issues revolve around how to clean, manage, and publish the Civil 3D data behind in the Managed Dynamic Model and inside the structure and patterns of a project-based context.
This speaks to the Powers of Separation and the Separation of Powers.
At a practical level, this dance becomes a Current and managed State problem in Civil 3D. Our Identified and agreed upon specific project State benchmarks do matter.
“What is a Civil 3D Alignment?
The Alignment in Civil 3D is the primary Design Control Manager in Civil 3D. The shared project-based horizontal control resource that a Civil 3D Alignment contains is only the beginning of the story.
The deeper answers here deserve an entire Book of Alignments.
“Some think Site design is all about Feature Lines in Civil 3D and Roadway design is all about Corridors. Why and how then does the Corridor engine create better managed and collected Feature Lines?”
There is a coded answer to this question which is often completely lost in the shuffle. The choice of design heuristics is not an either-or choice, but a more competent and productive AND. All by itself that Q and A can be more than disturbing to those skilled in one but not the other.
See the Site Design with Corridors video and posts collection.
What are the uses of Autocad?
Autocad can be used by the professionals to visualize the imaginary view of the product on a computer system. In Autocad, it is possible by the drafter to make the changes in the product before it gets finalized for design. It also gives the freedom for the designer to implement their various ideas and represent them to the suppliers or their clients.
