Marija Mijic, HR & Office Allrounder craftworks

What made you want to apply for your position at craftworks?

In my previous company, I didn't feel that I could improve and grow further and craftworks looked very promising in that area. Moreover, the field of AI and Big Data is quite a hot topic now.

What about craftworks do you like the most?

I think it is the friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

How do you prefer to start your day?

With a big cup of coffee and while I'm drinking it I'm usually reading or watching tutorials. I try to start the morning with doing or learning something useful and being productive.

How do you keep developing your professional skills?

Mostly through watching youtube videos and programming-related social media. I also have a few personal projects.

Could you tell us more about yourself? For example: what are your hobbies and where do you like to spend your time most?

I spend a lot of my time indoors, playing video- and board games and reading. I'm a big fan of fantasy and science fiction novels.

Which book would you recommend reading and why?

I would recommend Mistborn from my favorite fantasy author Brandon Sanderson, because all of his stories are really imaginative and creative, and Mistborn is a good introduction to his writing style.

You are from Hungary and moved recently to Vienna, what was the most challenging part and how do you like it here?

The most challenging part is communication with the locals because my German isn't very good (yet) and everyone talks too fast for me to understand. What I like the most is the surrounding area around my apartment. It's quiet with lots of parks and it's a much nicer environment than where I was living before.

If you were the only human left on Earth, what would you do?

I would try to figure out how to best leave a legacy of humankind behind. And document it’s fall, of course.

Could you please tell us more about your educational career?

I have a bachelor degree in computer science and I studied in Budapest and München.

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?

Most people don't know that I do creative writing too. I write fantasy novels.

Only 3 short questions left:

Coffee or Tea? Coffee.

If you could choose a superpower, what would it be? Teleportation probably.

What’s your favorite song? Till it’s over by Tristam.
