New blogger! Let me introduce myself...

As John Reynolds mentioned in his last post, he is moving into a business unit within Capgemini, so leaving the BTC scheme and the blog with it. I hope you have enjoyed his posts over the last eight months and I hope, as your new BTC blogger, that I can live up to his reputation!

Let me introduce myself. I'm Emily Homer and I've been at Capgemini for just over a year now.

At university I did a joint honours degree in Computer Science and Business, chosen due to the fact that all jobs today will probably require both these skills. Being brought up with a Macintosh I'd never really used a PC that much before starting, and hadn't taken business studies at school. I can't say that it was like a duck taking to water - I was the blonde who managed to lock herself out of her university computer access on my first day. During my first week I went on, in my first Comp Sci tutorial, to cause some sort of problem with my PC which resulted in the tutor saying 'I've never seen that happen before'! (I'm sure you have all had a fair share of computer mishaps – or have you? Why not share it with me?)

Fortunately my IT skills have improved since then! After graduating I did an MSc at Manchester before applying for jobs with a mix of IT and business. I thought the BTC scheme would allow me a mix of both and enable me to try roles that I probably would not have thought of. And it has. During my short time here I have worked on bids, testing, development and my current role is in requirements.

Like the other bloggers I hope to share with you a bit about my experiences in IT, current hot topics and, as the first female BTC blogger, I hope to bring a different perspective to the blog. I hope you enjoy the posts and please do get involved.
