Foxconn Interview Q&A Document

Self-Introduction

Self-Intro

Good morning/afternoon. Thank you for this opportunity. My name is [Your Name]. I recently
completed my B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from R.L. Jalappa Institute of
Technology. During my academics, I focused on both technical projects and practical management
experience. For example, I founded Magnet Smartlife, an e-commerce startup where I handled order
fulfillment, inventory tracking, and team coordination, processing over 50 orders per day across
Meesho, Flipkart, and Amazon.

Additionally, I interned at Aditya Auto Products, assisting in electronic component checks and
production support. My technical skills include MS Excel for data tracking, basic Python scripting, and
an understanding of WIP processes and material flow. I’m fluent in English, Telugu, and have a basic
understanding of Kannada.

I’m excited about the opportunity at Foxconn FATP Manufacturing because I believe my combination
of process management experience and technical background can contribute effectively to high-
paced production operations.
