Why Didn't You Pursue A Career In Your Stream / Specialization? - Job Interview Answer.


This question is generally asked for those who are pursuing specialization or major in other stream other than IT or Computer Science. If you are pursuing an engineering in Electronics or Electrical then be ready to face this question. The interviewer simply wants to know as to why you want to join IT industry since you are pursuing your specialization/major in some other stream.


Your answers can be:

1) Sir, since I am a student of ECE, as u know that ECE/CSE/IT are sister branches and all are interrelated and secondly I think it will be of my best if I utilize my sharp analytical skills in a software industry so I basically do not have any problem to “SWITCH” from ECE to IT. And I believe flexibility must be there within us to progress in life.


2) As I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do, I majored in something I was very interested in. But after working for a software project during my summer vacation I realized that this is what I want to be doing. I loved the challenges that came my way. So I am looking forward to work in an IT industry to utilize my skills in the best way.


3) I was planning on going to dental Course so I majored in biology. After working with computers, I realized how interesting and challenging it was. So I studied computers on the side because I wanted a career working with computers.

- Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

-Why should we hire you over other candidates?

- What are your salary expectations? (Or What kind of salary are you looking for?)
