So good afternoon po

I’m a student from Our Lady of Peace School from Antipolo City

And for our project this quarter

We were asked to interview about your experiences

As a person with

With a

A course that

I would like to take

Which you

You are

Your course was computer science, yes?

Yes.

So I

I would just like to ask you questions about your

experience in your career

First

Would you like to introduce yourself.

I’m David ---- San Juan 00:43

I graduated Computer Science in Polytechnic University of the Philippines

And I’m currently working as an Engineer in Ortigas

So

Since you said you were an Engineer

What do you usually do in your job?

Usually

Technical related stuff which is ------------ here disclosure

Would you like to elaborate?

For example

Computer related

It’s pretty hard to explain


Since

It’s not that

You can’t really explain it in layman’s term

But

In simple words

It’s technical stuff

related to Computer Science

I see.

What are the common problems that would usually occur in a job like yours?

Job?

Uhm.

Nothing much

Unless you encounter something that

You didn’t really study in school

Mhmm

And you must

Pursue into knowing or mastering that unknown topic

Oh

So education is really important

Education is continuous even after college

Do you find your job challenging?

Uhm.

I don’t really see it as challenging

Because I see it as fun

Because I like doing my job

So

Why you chose Computer Science was

because you find the jobs there entertaining

Uhm Because I

Why I chose Computer Science in college or

Why
-Ah yes

Why you chose Computer Science in college

In college because

I don’t really remember but

I kinda like

computer

Before

Then I

When I entered college

I started to learn much more

So what basic skills do you need as someone who studied Computer Science

If you were in a job what skills would you need?

If you’re graduated of Computer Science already?

Yes for example

If you graduated and

Everything you learned in you college is

All basic

And the stuff you do in your job

is not taught in college

You really

You will be trained

Really

In any company you entered

There is no company that

Once you’re there you’re

Already on your job

No training

You must be trained 3:53

So yeah

Like

Like I asked earlier


You wanted to pursue computer science

Yes.

So

What do you think are the traits that

Inspired you to?

Take up computer science

Uhm Traits ?

I don’t really know

If it’s considered a trait

Uhm

Simply because I like computers

Yes

And that’s really all that is

And it’s all on the person if

He will like it or not

You’re working.

So

How many years have you been working?

I just started last year

Because I recently graduated

Do you find it fun?

Oh yes.

In your workplace?

Yes

I said it earlier

Because I enjoy my work very much.

Oh

Do you have any relatives

who also undergo similar courses or jobs?

Uhm I think I have one

But not really sure if we’re on the same track


But we’re definitely on the same Technology side

Do you think

That the

The technological side of

Courses and jobs are popular?

I’m not saying because

I’m not sure whether

she took I.T, Information Technology or

Computer Science

But I’m pretty sure that

She’s in the side of Computers or Technology

So

Last question

What advice would you give to students

if they’re looking to pursue Computer Science?

Uhm. If they really wanted to pursue

They will enjoy

What they will do

In college

Because if you don’t enjoy it

You really will not pass

I have many classmates

Who don’t really enjoy Computer Science and

They

-They failed?

Not really failed

But they shift

They shifted courses?

Yes

Because they don’t really enjoy the course

So In general
In order to be good at something

You have to enjoy it

Yes of course

Uhm anyway

thank you for your time

Uhm as a

We would like to

I will give you a

something as a token of appreciation

Thanks

Uhm so

thank you for your time

This is a token of appreciation for you time in this interview

It’s a chocolate

Yes thank you
