Q: Tell us a little about yourself.
A: I was born and raised in Houston,
Texas. Through my life in this city, I have learned
a lot about the computer industry, especially its
dynamic nature. I grew up around computers and I
began creating websites at a very young age. Once
I enrolled at the University of Houston, I began
studying Information System Technologies. With the
help of my experiences and education of computers,
I know that my skills and knowledge about this industry
will continue to grow constantly.
Q: What are your strengths and weaknesses?
A: My strengths lie in my ability
to work well with others. I truly believe that if
everyone has a positive attitude toward a common goal
then it is more than capable to achieve that goal
beyond any expectations. I have seen this philosophy
in action while working with
La-Fundacion.net. On many occasions I worked with
a group of young children on projects that usually
entailed creating networks, but with the proper guidance
anything was possible. With a positive attitude and
dedication to get our goal complete we were able to
construct a great Technology center. One of my weaknesses
tends to be being overly critical of myself in what
I do or tasks that I am working on. The perfectionist
in me is not happy with anything less than perfect
and if something doesn't meet my standards it will
bother me until it is fixed.
Q: What are your goals?
A: My short-term goal is to find
an entry level position that will enable me to work
with security. I believe that security is a major
factor in all companies. That is the main reason why
after I graduate, I plan on getting my Master's degree
in Information Systems Security. My long-term goals
consist of me obtaining my J.D. in computer law. The
career of law has always interested me and would be
a great asset to my extensive and ever-growing knowledge
of computers.
Q: What qualifications do you have that make you successful in this career?
A: I have had several non-paid internships
at major companies doing creative work and also working
with a database department. Having these jobs have
enabled me to explore the working dynamics of the
real world. Even though I do not have many years of
experience in databases, my drive to learn how to
make and implement databases is great. I have always
been creative and enjoyed the different mediums of
art. Graphic design is quite enjoyable to me because
it is something I like to do and comes quite natural
for me.
Q: How would you describe yourself using only five words?
A: Caring, organized, efficient, perfectionist and
goal-oriented.
Q: Why should we hire you?
A: I would be a great asset to your
company because I feel that any job should be done
not to a satisfactory level, but to a level that one
would be very proud of. I am dedicated to everything
that I do, especially with work. I would like to see
myself growing with the company because in the end,
we are all building a company together. The employee
is someone who represents the company and my diligent
work ethics and desire to achieve is reflected in
the person I am and what I do.
