I’ve been asked by the lovely Catherine whether I’d like to take part in the upcoming Geek Girl Blogs Podcast on Recruitment and Women in IT. As I’m presently looking for industry-relevant work after spending around 18 months in the workforce but not doing jobs directly derived from my degree, Catherine thought I would be a good addition to the group. I’m being joined by 2 others so it should make for a great discussion though I’m as yet a little uncertain where the discussion will go. I will post links when the recording is up.

Recording will be taking place on Tuesday evening after weeks of trying to co-ordinate the hectic schedules of the 4 people presenting. I’m pleased to be doing something again that raises awareness of women involved in IT.

We need to get more girls involved with technology and I’ve enjoyed being involved in things like Girls and IT days and the WIT Regional Tour which I went on in early 2006 just before I started Honours.
