Question

答：在运送部件到达目的地时总是出现裂痕。我用原料学方面的知识判断这与航运期间的存放温度有关，尽管我们的仪器都安全地存放在两端封闭的地方，但在到达目的地之前，仪器要放在无空调设备的船舱里 30 个小时。现在我们用另一家航运公司运送货物，我们用贴在货物上的标签显示极高或极低温度都是不允许的。

迅速向面试官说明问题，然后集中在你的专业技能如何帮你解决问题。你采取了什么行动?取得什么效果？

Q:Describe a situation in which youve applied technical skills to solve a problem.

A:One of our components kept arriving at distribution points with stress cracks.My materialsscience background helped me to diagnose the problem as one of storage temperature during shipping.Although our equipment was safely stored at both end points,it had been sitting in unairconditioned cargo space for up to thirty hours before reaching its destination. We're now using a different shipping company,and we've improved our labeling on large shipments to reflect the users warning about temperature extremes.
