  • Thank you.

  • Hello, Mr. Torres.

  • Hello.

  • Nice to meet you. I'm Tom Davis, the manager of LCI Software.

  • Nice to meet you, Mr. Davis.

  • First, I'd like to congratulate you on passing our aptitude test.

  • You did very well.

  • Thank you.

  • So, how did you hear about this job?

  • I saw an advertisement online.

  • I clicked on it and it brought me to your company's website where I applied for it.

  • Makes sense. What do you know about our company so far?

  • I've read on your website that for over 10 years,

  • LCI Software has delivered professional services on software development projects for clients all over the world.

  • I can tell from the pictures and client testimonials on the website that you do great quality work.

  • Yes, we always try to do quality work.

  • The software products we build help many brands transform their businesses.

  • So, tell me about yourself.

  • I completed a bachelor's degree in environmental biology and a master's degree in environmental informatics.

  • I managed to get a job in the environmental engineering industry.

  • But I soon realized I wasn't cut out for that job and decided to move to a different industry.

  • I decided to take the path of a software developer.

  • Wow! What determined you to make such a bold career shift?

  • I've had a great enthusiasm for technology since an early age.

  • I've always loved computers and gadgets and enjoyed building them and taking them apart.

  • I took online courses endorsed by high-profile universities and studied how to code.

  • I have a few official software certificates.

  • I started by building websites for people I knew.

  • It helped me build a portfolio of projects.

  • I got my first iOS development job at a software agency called Tech Services.

  • I had the opportunity to learn more about the software building process there.

  • But since there were not too many projects at that agency, after two years I decided to look for another job.

  • I soon started to work at an international startup company, Soft Solutions.

  • It was a good chance to join a team.

  • I've been able to use my training and experience fully at this company.

  • I gained experience in many things like teamwork, time management and quick decision making.

  • How long have you been working for Soft Solutions?

  • I've been working there for three years.

  • Why do you want to leave that job?

  • I'm looking for a company where I can contribute more and grow.

  • I'm ready to take the next step of my career.

  • What exactly made you apply for this job at our company?

  • I can see that your company has much future growth potential.

  • I would love to grow my career at a company that has a great reputation in the software industry.

  • What are your strengths?

  • My strengths are persistence and courage.

  • I give my all to achieve my goals, in spite of any hardships I might encounter along the way.

  • I have a hard-working nature.

  • I'm always looking for ways to improve and grow.

  • I'm also a great team player.

  • Can you provide an example of how you acted as a team player?

  • I always tried to help my teammates complete their tasks if I had completed mine.

  • Whenever someone needed to leave earlier, I would offer to cover for them.

  • I'm willing to do whatever it takes for the team or company to succeed.

  • Great. So, what would you do if you didn't get on with someone on your team?

  • I would try to sort things out in a calm and rational manner.

  • I would do my best to get on with that person for the sake of the team.

  • What are your weaknesses?

  • I can be a bit too straightforward at times, and sometimes that hurts people.

  • But I'm working on this and try to stop myself from being overly direct.

  • Where do you see yourself in five years?

  • In five years, I'd like to be seen as someone with deep expertise in software development.

  • I hope to be offered the opportunity to take the lead on some projects.

  • There are definitely promotion opportunities at our company, depending on your achievements and expertise.

  • Do you work well under pressure?

  • Usually, I don't panic and manage to maintain self-control.

  • There were many tight deadlines and stressful situations at my previous jobs.

  • I always put in extra hours and did my best in meeting the needs of the clients.

  • I've always delivered high-quality work and respected my deadlines.

  • Interesting. Can you tell me about a recent accomplishment or success you had?

  • I was part of the team that built the Lewis Kitchen app.

  • With this app, it's easy to order your favorites, even when you're on the go.

  • I love creating something that people can interact with and enjoy.

  • That's quite impressive, I must admit.

  • Okay, thanks so much for coming in, Mr. Torres. It was great to meet you.
