LADWP INTERVIEW QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
Tell us something about yourself Correct Answers i. Name
ii. Studying Mechanical Engineering at USC graduating
in May
iii. Current co-author for an AIAA paper developing a device that makes
electrospray thruster measurement resolution improvements cheaper and
more accessible
iv. Spacecraft Propulsion R&D Co-Op at AFRL this past summer and
deva
Why are you applying for this job Correct Answers a. Not only am I
looking for a place to grow and hold a long term career but I am looking
for the right place to grow
b. I think that this job offers the right place to grow. Not only have my
experiences let me see the entire timeline from different perspectives,
but the type of work environment fostered (public, semi-public, and
private). Of course, these environments vary greatly from place to place,
but there was something intangible about working in the public sector
like removing the context of profit. It enforces the feeling of doing
something for the common good.
c. With that, LADWP has the right values in mind too. You can see this
through the programs they implement like efficiency rebates and
, projects like the smart grid and efforts in increasing dependence in local
water supply. They are actually aiming for a sustainable future.
d. I liked being able to see a wide variety of problems which I think
LADWP is faced with since the power grid/water supply system is vast
and complex. It puts their engineers up to the task with these wheras it's
very easy to be pigeonholed at some other places.
Why do you want to work for the City? Correct Answers a. The City of
Los Angeles is a great city to not only live, but to work for as an
engineer.
b. LA is a leader in implementing green initiatives and promoting
sustainability. Engineer roles have to be dynamic to keep up with this.
c. Examples: Green New Deal, LA area is a leader in EV sales which
means that the power grid has to adapt to this and removing dependence
from outside water sources.
d. I think this dynamic environment is here to stay and I am looking to
stay with the city and establish a long term career and watch the city
grow.
e. Also, I moved here from Chicago to study Mechanical Engineering
and I fell in love with LA.
