What Kind of Work Environment Do You Like?
I have always been learning from my co-workers and I enjoy working in an environment experiencing rapid growth. I keep calm and interact well with others under pressure.
Do You Work Well Under Pressure?
How do you handle stress and pressure?
Describe a difficult work situation and what you did to overcome it.
I remember when I started working in CSI Ingenieros Company with the State Insurance Bank as a client.
In the project they used the BPMN standard, I did not know this standard, and the Project Manager asked me to learn while I was working because they needed to decrease project times.
It took my extra time, I first looked up summaries of the standards to quickly understand the main features and how to apply them. I then took my time to specialize in each component and then better apply the standard to all the diagrams I designed.
Finally, I ended up assisting my co-workers and checking that the standard was correctly applied because we reported directly to the Bank Manager. He was a very demanding person and didn´t like any errors.
The project was successful.
This was a good project for me, I think that working with demanding clients and having pressure moments always makes us grow as professionals.
If stress gets to a breaking point, then I cope with practices such as prioritizing tasks, asking my team for help, asking more experienced co-workers for advice, deep breathing, disconnect for a few hours to better think of a solution. But overall, I feel I thrive under quick deadlines and multiple projects.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I would like to be seen as someone with deep kwonlogie in QA Testing. I hope to have the opportunity to be a team leader.

Working alone is great in order to have more autonomy.
