Drawing Algorithms

An algorithm, drawn by a 29-year-old female marketing analyst in Switzerland.

Can you draw how an algorithm works? OK. While thinking about the algorithm, for example, I want to give an example so that it is easier for me to draw. Let's say I am looking for a job. First of all, the problem is "looking for a job". Where am I looking for the job? "Online" or "Offline". I am telling people that I am looking for a job. Then, for example, when looking for jobs online, I look at different platforms: platform 1, platform 3, online, I told people "word-of-mouth". Then there is an interview process if there is a positive return from the platforms I looked at. If the interview was good: "yes", if it was bad: "keep looking". If it's bad, I'm coming here again. If it was good, I move on to the next process, "visa". And then "get hired". So the algorithm something like this for me... I have a problem, I'm trying to solve it in different ways. I show those methods and explain the steps I will take after that. [Algorithm works] in this way. OK. I understand that you have heard of algorithms before. Yes. When and in what context did you hear about algorithms? I think I heard of algorithms while taking a Java course in the second semester of the university. For example, they were giving a problem and asking us to write an algorithm to solve it. Or, for example, they wanted us to create a pine tree in C ++, and they wanted us to make an algorithm that time. It was the first time that I heard about it. Do you hear about algorithms today? Frankly, I really don't hear anything. I work in marketing in a bank. And I don't think that too many algorithms are mentioned right now. At least it's not mentioned in my field. But isn't your job related to algorithms? Other terms are used. Which terms, for instance? So first of all, it is irrelevant but they call everything "machine learning". There is a lot of talk about digitalization. Scrum, agile project or something like that… these are talked about, but frankly, I don't hear algorithm. I think maybe it is not related to my work because there is no direct/hands-on programming, but I haven't heard about it lately. Ok, thank you very much.
