<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Well, I've known about Smart Tech for a long time.

00:00:45.475 --> 00:00:49.476

00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:05.661
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>So how familiar are you with Java, Python, and CSS?

00:01:06.781 --> 00:01:10.092
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Yeah, I have experience with a lot of different programming languages.

00:01:10.826 --> 00:01:13.987
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Mostly with Java, Python, and C.

00:01:14.527 --> 00:01:17.068
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>I first started learning those languages back in college.

00:01:17.728 --> 00:01:20.189
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Those were my daily tools during my previous job.

00:01:21.309 --> 00:01:27.811
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>As for CSS, I'm really excited about learning CSS or whatever other languages are needed for this position.

00:01:28.791 --> 00:01:29.211
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Great.

00:01:29.771 --> 00:01:33.492
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>So what's the most challenging project you've worked on during the past few years?

00:01:35.053 --> 00:01:39.394
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Well, I just finished a three-month project updating the user experience.

00:01:40.046 --> 00:01:41.047
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>for our website.

00:01:41.748 --> 00:01:46.114
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>I was the project manager, but I also had to write some of the code myself.

00:01:46.955 --> 00:01:52.522
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>It was a challenging task because I had to manage everything and coordinate all of the team members.

00:01:53.384 --> 00:01:55.316
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>But everything turned out really well.

00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:57.710
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Great.

00:01:58.451 --> 00:02:03.514
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>And looking at your resume, I see that you worked for a few different tech companies.

00:02:04.215 --> 00:02:07.157
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Which one did you work on the UX project for?

00:02:08.898 --> 00:02:12.220
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>That was with my last company, lingen.edu.

00:02:12.561 --> 00:02:15.542
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>They're an online educational platform based here in Taipei.

00:02:16.603 --> 00:02:17.144
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>I see.

00:02:17.244 --> 00:02:19.485
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>And do you mind my asking why you're leaving?

00:02:20.706 --> 00:02:21.146
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Sure.

00:02:21.647 --> 00:02:22.347
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>No problem.

00:02:22.868 --> 00:02:26.350
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Well, the company had grown a lot over the past few years.

00:02:27.150 --> 00:02:28.191
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>I learned a lot while there.

00:02:28.932 --> 00:02:36.198
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>However, the management has gone through a lot of changes recently and they were wanting me to give up my weekends to work overtime.

00:02:36.939 --> 00:02:41.823
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>I came to realize it was having a negative effect on my health and my family.

00:02:42.424 --> 00:02:45.326
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>I thought it would be best to look for other opportunities.

00:02:46.908 --> 00:02:47.848
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>I can understand.

00:02:48.769 --> 00:02:54.114
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Yeah, when you don't have your health or your family suffers, then you have to make a change.

00:02:55.352 --> 00:02:57.986
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Davide, I'd like us to do a quick coding exercise.

00:02:57.986 --> 00:03:04.878
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Can you please write 20 to 30 lines in your strongest language and explain for me the process as you're writing the code?

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.903
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Sure, I'll give it my best try.

00:03:15.406 --> 00:03:16.587
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Okay, everything looks great.

00:03:17.067 --> 00:03:19.969
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Lastly, I noticed you speak really good English.

00:03:20.369 --> 00:03:21.970
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>How long have you been studying English?

00:03:23.552 --> 00:03:31.997
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Well, all students here start learning English from elementary school, but my parents also sent me to an English gram school three times a week.

00:03:32.538 --> 00:03:35.239
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>I think I started going there when I was in fifth grade.

00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:37.121
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Yeah, that's right.

00:03:37.981 --> 00:03:40.023
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Well, I think you speak really well.

00:03:40.523 --> 00:03:44.696
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>At Smart Tech we want our employees not only to be the best at programming.

00:03:45.230 --> 00:03:47.291
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>But also have good communication skills.

00:03:47.811 --> 00:03:51.132
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>A good grasp of English is so important for success here.

00:03:52.752 --> 00:03:54.413
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Well, thanks for the compliment.

00:03:54.413 --> 00:04:00.234
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>I think my English could be better, but I really enjoy speaking English whenever I get the chance.

00:04:01.995 --> 00:04:04.875
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Okay, well that about wraps up the interview for today.

00:04:04.976 --> 00:04:07.016
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Do you have any questions for me?

00:04:08.617 --> 00:04:09.697
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Actually, yes.

00:04:10.237 --> 00:04:13.868
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>I was wondering what the next step was in the application process.

00:04:15.704 --> 00:04:22.759
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>Well, I'll review your resume and notes from today's interview and discuss your performance with our HR department.

00:04:23.354 --> 00:04:25.981
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>It may take up to two months to hear back from us.

00:04:26.942 --> 00:04:34.347
<v MP4 Test 102MB .9minmp4>If you pass this portion of the interview, you will be asked to come in to our offices for an on-site in-person interview.

00:04:35.889 --> 00:04:37.309
