Interviewer: Good morning, and thank you for coming. Could you start by telling me a bit about yourself?

You: Good morning! Of course. I’m currently in my fourth semester of Software Development Engineering. I enjoy build

Interviewer: That’s good to hear. I like it when candidates are already applying what they learn in class.
Have you worked on any project recently that you’re proud of?

You: Yes! My latest project was a transport access control system for students. We integrated an alcohol sensor to ver
We developed it using Java for the backend and SQL for the database, and it also had a basic interface for registering
It was exciting when we saw all the components working together for the first time.

Interviewer: That’s impressive! Many students don’t get the chance to work on hardware integration.
What was the most difficult part of that project?

You: Configuring the alcohol sensor and making it communicate with the Java app was definitely a challenge.
It bothered me when the sensor didn’t respond consistently, and we had to test several drivers and ports.
But it made me happy when everything finally worked smoothly, especially during our presentation.

Interviewer: That’s a great example of persistence.


Now, let me ask: do you prefer working on your own or in a team?

You: I enjoy both, actually.


Working in a team is more dynamic than working alone, and I get to learn from others.
At the same time, I don’t mind it when I have to work by myself, especially if the task requires focus and concentration.

Interviewer: That’s a good balance.


I can’t stand it when team members avoid communication, so collaboration is something we really value here.
Tell me, what kind of tasks do you enjoy the most?

You: I love designing databases and developing backend logic.


I like it when I can see the impact of my code on how the system behaves.
On the other hand, it upsets me when something works on my computer but not on someone else’s, so I’ve started tes

Interviewer: I’ve definitely experienced that too!


Is there anyone who has influenced your learning journey so far?

You: Yes, a professor who taught us software architecture had a big impact on me.
He gave us projects that connected what we learned in class with real problems, and encouraged us to approach them

Interviewer: That’s great.


How do you usually handle bugs or errors in your code?

You: When I find a bug, I try to isolate the issue and search for similar cases in documentation or forums.
It’s frustrating when the bug doesn’t give a clear message, but I’ve learned to stay calm and keep testing.
Also, it helps when I keep my code organized and well-commented.
Interviewer: Excellent. It makes me happy when interns take responsibility for debugging instead of waiting for someon
We try to create an environment where asking questions is as valuable as finding answers on your own.

Thank you again for your time today. We really appreciate your honesty and enthusiasm.
We’ll be in touch soon with next steps. Have a great day!

You: Thank you very much! I really enjoyed the conversation. Have a great day as well!
