Interviewer: Welcome back to “You Are in Charge”. Today we are discussing professions and how people choose their jobs. Our guest is Tim Barton and let’s listen to how Tim got his job. Welcome Tim. So where do you work?

Interviewee: I work for an IT company.

Interviewer: And, what do you do?

Interviewee: I am an application developer.

Interviewer: Wow. Doing what?

Interviewee: I develop applications. You know for instance, a taxi company ordered an application that would connect the taxi drivers and the clients. I developed it and I maintain it: I develop the updates.

Interviewer: What’re the hours like, then?

Interviewee: Now that’s an interesting question. I have a flexible schedule. The company monitors just my results. So I have to do a lot of time management. I decide when I come to work and when I leave.

Interviewer: And, is it easy to manage your time?

Interviewee: I learned to manage my time when I was in school, so for me it is easy to set priorities and to reach goals.

Interviewer: That sounds interesting. Why did you choose this job?

Interviewee: Well, at school I was fond of drawings. I drew a lot and I thought that I would become a designer, but later on I discovered web design and decided to become a web designer. And I chose to study Informational Technology at the university.

Interviewer: When did you decide to develop applications?

Interviewee: I don’t really know the exact moment. But I took a class in software design and I got interested in it.

Interviewer: And, how long have you been working for this company?

Interviewee: Let me see. I joined the company when I was 26. So it must be 7 years already.

Interviewer: Was this your first job?

Interviewee: No. First I was a sales representative. My salary was quite impressive, but I just hated selling things. So I decided to give up my job.

Interviewer: Do you want to change your job?

Interviewee: I don’t know for sure. But if somebody offers me a job that will be more interesting than the present one, I will probably accept it.

Interviewer: That’s interesting, Thank you Tim for sharing your experience.

Interviewee: Oh, Thank YOU. It was my pleasure.
