So, it's another new job. I was made manager of a development group back in October of 2009, and just last week I was "reorganized" and made manager of IT related training for the company.
This move certainly "feels" better to me than my last move. I had never managed software developers before, and while managing people is sort of a universal skill, it does take a bit of technical experience to manage programmers.
This current position fits much nicer and neater into my wheelhouse. I have a pretty extensive background in training, and I actually came out of a training position back in 1996 when I made my serious move into computers, networks, and technology in general. Being able to merge my technology experience with my passion for training and learning really feels like a dream job to me.
I'll not make any promises regarding posting more often, although I think I'd like to do that as I create this new position that I've been given. Check back, I may just surprise you.
