My interview

I decided to interview my uncle. He studied industrial engineer and he's actually working for the Junta of Andalusia at the Computers Department, he's Head of Systems.

1-Why did you decide to study industrial engineer?

I remembered that the subject I liked the most was maths and in those times there wasn’t any kind of counselor. One of my friends decided to study that career so I discovered it. I liked it because it was related with maths and it was more practical. So that’s why I chose it.

2-How did you get into your actual job?

First I started working as hardware maintenance technician in the early 80’s in ``Fujitsu España´´. One of our main clients was the Junta of Andalusia, and I had almost daily contact with them. So in the early 90’s they created the Junta of Andalusia Computer Centre. So I decided to get into it and I got the position of Chief Operating and then another internal job, Head of Systems, in which I’m still working.

3-What is your real function at work?

In a summarized way, my functions are:

-Responsibility for the correctly operation computer systems, network and IP telephony.

-Coordination of Systems Department.

-Work planning computers.

4-What do you think it’s the most difficult thing of your job?

Well, for me the hardest thing is coordinating the people at my department. And the relationship with users can be also complicated.

5-If you could not do this job, what other job would you like to realize?

The truth is that I like a lot of things. Perhaps the most important thing is to do something that helps society. Lately, I would like to know more about economy and a little bit of politics too.
