　　TRANSCRIPT

　　DAVE BOWLEY: I’m an IT consultant, so I get to do quite a few roles. So those roles could be anything from computer programming to designing IT systems, to IT support to writing documentation, it really depends on who the client is and what I’m required to do.

　　LILY YAN: So why did you choose to get into this industry at (in) the first place? Why did you choose to study IT?

　　DAVE BOWLEY: I think at the time that I started studying IT, it was quite a burgeoning industry. There was a lot of opportunities in IT, relatively good money as well, and fairly easy to do as well for someone who has been brought up on computers. So, yeah, it was an easy choice, I think.

　　LILY YAN: So what do you think of the IT industry now, as it is, compared to, like, a few years ago when you started?

　　DAVE BOWLEY: It’s certainly quietened down a little bit. It’s not as lucrative as it used to be. But the money is still good in the industry, so, yeah, it’s still a good place to be.

　　LILY YAN: Is that a difficult industry to get in(to) now, like is it getting really competitive, like you need to have really high qualifications and good experience, or, is that still a lot of opportunities there?

　　DAVE BOWLEY: I think there’s still a lot of opportunities there, but you have to be lucky to a certain extent. But certainly the more you can do to maximise your chances of getting a good job… like the better your qualifications are, the better your practicalexperience, the better your communication skills are, you know, the more chance you’ll have of getting a good job.

　　LILY YAN: Interesting you mention about communication skills because many people from overseas, when they choose to study IT, they think because you don’t really need a lot of communication skills or language skills, so they think it’s easier. But you just mentioned these skills, is that actually quite important for someone like you who work(s) in the IT industry?

　　DAVE BOWLEY: I think it’s not crucial but it’s certainly very highly regarded. A lot of employers will, you know, would prefer to choose someone who can communicate well over someone who can’t be presented to a client and can’t really communicate the technical side of what they are doing to, you know, the business side. So they’re certainly very good skills to have.
