2. Why Siemens?
Section titled “2. Why Siemens?”Sample direction: “I want to apply engineering fundamentals in Siemens’s domain (Industrial Automation, Energy, Mobility) and grow with strong mentorship.”

3. Why should we hire you?

5. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Section titled “5. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”Show growth inside engineering / problem-solving at Siemens, not an unrealistic title jump.
