A:  That抯 right. One of my sisters is a doctor and the other one teaches at a university.
I:  What made you decide to get into computers?
A:  Oh,nothing in particular, I guess. I always liked mathematics and tinkering with machines.
I:  Now what about your experience? How long have you been working with computers?
A:  More than five years now. After I did my engineering degree, I began to specialize in computer technology and I even had my own company for a while.
I:  It certainly sounds impressive. Why don抰 you have your credentials² sent to me and I抣l show them to the board? We抣l probably get back to you in a week.
