    "Ada Lovelace. There is much to admire about her: her strict analytical thinking coupled with the spirit of creative vision, which recognized a possibility for computers to do more than simply calculate at a time when it was considered revolutionary. Her ability to bridge between disciplines and see the connections between maths and science and even to poetry resonates within me. I also appreciate how she pursued intellectual passions in the face of huge gender barriers in her time."

    "This is one of the core behavioral questions that you should expect to cover in any interview. In particular, it asks you to justify why you want to work at a specific company that you've applied for. There's no right answer for this, however we do recommend you list at least three distinct reasons. Here's an example of what you might say: > Great question!

In general, I'd start from the very end, and then go back in the process as it's more important that we satisfy customers who have paid i.e. they should get a booking confirmation vs customers that are entering details and then payment info."
