During my studies, I participated in several extracurricular activities related to technology and
teamwork. I was part of a software development club where we worked on real-world projects. I also
joined hackathons, which helped me improve my problem-solving and skills under pressure. In
addition, I volunteered in events that connected students with industry professionals. These
experiences have helped me build strong technical and soft skills, which I believe will be beneficial in
my professional career.

3. Why are you applying for a job that you didn’t major in?
Although my major is Software Engineering, I believe that software development skills can be applied
in many areas. I have a strong background in problem-solving, logic, and system design, which are
valuable in many roles. Additionally, I have taken the initiative to learn about different aspects of the
tech industry, and I am eager to apply my knowledge in a practical environment. I am confident that
my ability to learn quickly and adapt to new challenges will allow me to succeed in this role.

4. Why do you want to leave your current job?

opportunities for learning, skill development, and collaboration with experienced professionals. I
believe this move will allow me to develop further

5. What role do you normally take on in a team?


I am flexible when it comes to team roles and can adapt to different situations. In most cases, I
naturally take on the role of an organizer, ensuring that tasks are distributed effectively and that the
team is working efficiently toward our goals. I also enjoy problem-solving and often step in to help
when technical challenges arise. If needed, I am comfortable leading, but I also understand the
importance of being a supportive team member who helps ensure that projects are completed
successfully.

One of my weaknesses is that I sometimes focus too much on small details, which can slow me down.
While attention to detail is important, I am learning to balance it with efficiency so that I can work
faster while still maintaining high-quality results. Another challenge for me has been time
management when handling multiple projects, but I am actively improving this by using productivity
tools and setting clear priorities.
9. How do you handle stressful situations?
I try to stay calm and approach stressful situations with a clear mindset. When I feel overwhelmed, I
prioritize my tasks, break them down into manageable steps, and focus on solutions rather than
problems. If needed, I seek advice from colleagues or superiors to ensure the best possible outcome. I
also believe that maintaining a positive attitude and taking short breaks when necessary can help
manage stress effectively.
