Why don't you begin by telling me something about yourself?
What do you want to know?
The usual, you know, something about your background and experience and anything personal that you feel is pertinent.
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.
Sounds as if you come from a professional family.
That right. One of my sisters is a doctor and the other one teaches at a university.
What made you decide to get into computers?
Oh, nothing in particular, I guess. I always liked mathematics and tinkering with machines.
Now what about your experience? How long have you been working with computers?
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.
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.
Thanks very much.
