This document contains the questions and answers from two interviews - one male and one female engineering student. The male studied mechanical engineering and enjoyed difficult subjects like vibrations. He is good at mental calculations and converting numbers. The female studied chemical engineering and enjoyed material and energy balance subjects. She learned about processes by visiting a shop. Both said finding the type of job and company they were interested in was important, as was having an open mindset and creativity. The document concludes it is necessary to be patient and open-minded to enter companies.
