: Sample Answer

I have recently finished my graduation majoring Computer Science and would like to work as a computer programmer in a reputed software company. I have learned few programming languages in my academic years and hope to work as a programmer and want to contribute making some great software as every programmer wants

The job involves writing programming codes to make the required software. For that, a programmer must have good coding experience and need to understand the requirement of the software. From retail shop to the nuclear research centre, everywhere computer software is used and I want to work for a company that makes software for large scale clients. The programmer has to make sure that the software runs without any bug and is time and cost efficient. They also need to be a good team member; as bigger software are made by a team of people rather than an individual programmer

I chose it mostly because of my education and interest. Since I have studied in Computer Science, naturally I would want to work something that relates to my education and skill. Secondly, I have a passion for writing software codes. I have already made some small utility and web-based software while I had been in my university. Now I want to create some larger-scale software that would help me gain valuable experiences. Someone should work in an industry that relates to his/ her skill set and synchronises to his/ her interests. The software programmer’s job perfectly suits my interests and academic experience. Furthermore, the prospect of this job is very demanding and a good programmer earns more than employees of many other industries. I am sure I will enjoy working as a programmer than anything else and that’s why I want to work as a programmer
