#Person1#: Why don't you begin by telling me something about yourself?
#Person2#: What do you want to know?
#Person1#: The usual, you know, something about your background and experience and anything personal that you feel is pertinent.
#Person2#: Well, I was born in Shanghai and went to school there, right up through college. My father is a lawyer, and my mother is a teacher.
#Person1#: Sounds as if you come from a professional family.
#Person2#: That right. One of my sisters is a doctor and the other one teaches at a university.
#Person1#: What made you decide to get into computers?
#Person2#: Oh, nothing in particular, I guess. I always liked mathematics and tinkering with machines.
#Person1#: Now what about your experience? How long have you been working with computers?
#Person2#: 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.
#Person1#: It certainly sounds impressive. Why don't you have your credentials sent to me and I'll show them to the board? We'll probably get back to you in a week.
#Person2#: Thanks very much.
