Interviewers want to get a sense of your ambition. Civil engineers should be able to dream big and have a vision for the future of our built environment. If it's your goal to be involved in a signature bridge project or an iconic high rise that will be a part of New York City's skyline, tell the interviewer why you think you have the skills and smarts to be a valuable team member on a big project. Don't be afraid to share your big dreams, but also back them up with your own past accomplishments.
