Describe how this works? *Interviewer shows diagram of jet engine* You have a metal block, how do you figure out what it is?
Various topics to choose from. Explain one to someone without a technical background. I choose to explain Metal Fatigue.
What is a 5 micrometres written in millimetres?
This varies greatly depending on your personal experience, college transcript, etc. I got asked basic physics and algebra questions through most of my technical interviews, but I know of some people who have gone in and been asked to design a nuclear power plant.
If you pushed a boat from the shore into a lake, would the water level in the lake rise or fall? If you jumped from the shore into the boat, would the water rise or fall? If you took a bucket out of the boat, filled it with water, and brought it back onto the boat, would the water level in the lake rise or fall? If you put the bucket back in the lake and let it sink to the bottom of the lake, would the water level rise or fall? If you jumped off the boat, into the lake, would the water level rise or fall?
Have you ever been convicted of a crime felony or misdemeanor?
As stated above, the only questions to answer are those on the timed tests. Of course, the navy will ask you general navy questions, like have you ever used illegal drugs or committed a crime, etc. As long as you haven't committed illegal acts, you'll be able to be cleared for a top secret clearance. (Well, there's more to it than that. There's a detailed background check but as far as questions you'll need to answer, it will be about illegal activity that could disqualify you from a high level clearance.) There are some things that you can sometimes get waivers for. If you drank underage (and admit it), they probably won't bat an eye. If you smoked marijuana, you might be able to get it waived. But you might not. Nowadays with certain states legalizing it, it becomes a more complicated issue. I think if you have high scores and are otherwise an excellent recruit, i.e. outstanding physical effort, outstanding mental effort, outstanding attitude, outstanding teamwork, etc., you probably will pass a waiver even if you have used recreational marijuana a few times. But there are no guarantees so you're best to avoid it entirely. Certainly once you're in, never ever use it. You will be caught in a random drug screening and then you'll be out or worse. Other things that could be an issue in getting your security clearance are bad credit, having dual citizenship, having a parent who emigrated from a country on a terror watch list or a country with whom we do not keep diplomatic relations.
Have you written technical instructions for a specific program of machine .
