The job i'd like to apply to

I've programmed for a lot of time using Visual Basic 6, so i guess it would be easier to work with it than looking for a job that needs Java programming. (I've used Java for only 2 years)

I don't have ALL the skills that the job requires, but i do have some of them. Still, i think i could apply right now...

Hey! Oh my god we look terrible... U_U Oh well... I'm the one in the middle of the two... The one on the right it's Alejandro.

He defines engineering as a science that studies and develops technologies and new ideas to work in. Since he was a kid, he liked computers and computer games, also liked to repair electronic things.

He says that to be an engineer you need to be fast with numbers and very creative some times... Also you need to have good logic... When he completes his education; he wants to start his own company. He loves to spend time with his friends. From his perspective, the most difficult part of being an engineer is to spend at least one day with no light studying for an exam...

He has no plans for his future, when the moment comes, he will decide. His most gratifying moment in engineering school was when he did his own compilator. He would recommend engineering as a career because "It's very interesting and you can develop things on a daily basis... Also you can make a lot of money".


The one on the left is Maria José, she studies Industrial Engineering. =) If you want to know about her, go to http://marijo89.blogspot.com/
