( Background: A software engineering job wants machine learning and big data skills )

Good morning, my name is Román Mauricio Hernandez.

Tell me about yourself
I worked at a small shop for two years doing 50 projects a year, meeting 100% of my deadlines.
Then I worked for a bigger firm with clients like Disney and Netflix—with 99% client satisfaction.
I collaborated with the team to win an A’ Design Award. I’m excited to step into a role like this
that’s designed around that kind of efficiency and collaboration.

Why are you applying for this position?

You’re looking for someone experienced in pairs programming and Scrum. I’ve been part of two
programming pairs in six years. In the first we raised code efficiency 45%. In the second we
helped the team win a BOSSIE Award. In that job I was on a Scrum team that delivered 15
projects 20% under budget.

Why do you want to work here?

This is a high-end office with a great team. Your employees voted you the best place to work in
New Hampshire. I know you’re looking for an administrative assistant good at resolving
customer complaints. At CRM Mineral, I did that 43% faster than the previous assistant by
triaging complaints and quickly escalating larger issues.

What motivates you?

I’m motivated by a student-guided learning environment with great co-workers like you have
here. I loved that at my last school. It drove me to double my professional development hours. I
learned a lot about test-taking strategies, and my kids raised their averages by 20% in six
months.

Why are you a good fit for this position?

I’m a good fit because you need an efficient nurse who is professional under pressure. At
Harrison Memorial, we had a full ward and fast-paced schedule. The charge nurse commended
me five times for efficiency and teamwork.

Why are you the best person for this job?

You need a business analyst who knows how to redesign customer communication protocols
and fulfillment processes. I did that at Huffman Barco when outdated systems pushed our costs
up. I was able to save the company $2 million a year.

What are your weaknesses?

I haven’t traditionally been great at leadership. At Sintertron, the DevOps manager wanted to
put me in charge of two programming pairs, and it was terrifying. I enrolled in three Dale
Carnegie classes and learned a lot. It was a challenge, but I ended up enjoying it. My teams
outperformed the company speed average by 5%.

What interests you about this position?

The job offer jumped out at me. You need someone who knows about app prioritization and
network monitoring. At AccuRight Solutions, I used those tools to boost network performance
38%.

Tell me about how you dealt with a tough challenge

We had a big last-minute order come in from a valued customer. I called a meeting and laid out
the problem. We found a way to get it done with zero overtime. We made an extra $1.1 million
in revenue that month.

What are your strengths?

I’m a strong Python programmer and I excel at collaboration. In my last job I worked closely
with a team of five software engineers that turned out 10 Python projects in two years, end-to-
end. We raised customer retention by 20%.

Thank you.
