Session

How To Leverage Being a Geek in the Tech vCommunity to Elevate Your Career

In this session, we'll discuss lots of topics focused on our personal & professional passions and sharing those with others. No matter the technology we work with daily, or if we share an outside interest in things like video games, sci-fi/fantasy movies & books, or non-IT technology like home automation and Plex, we are all part of user groups for our desire to be part of a strong community with a shared purpose.

Many of us have found assistance, gained skills, enjoyed some camaraderie, or made friends within this community.  Unfortunately, not enough of our community members are leveraging the vCommunity to power up their careers.

By putting in some effort to share with the community, make deeper connections with others, and have some open conversations, we all have a wealth of resources available to us. Whether your focus is around your own goals & career aspirations, a desire to branch out into different skills & roles, or even increase your chances of earning a promotion or higher pay & greater benefits, these are all desires that we can help each other to achieve.

In my opinion, we are all Geeks in this tech community based on our love of different interests and our passion for sharing mutual topics.

However, I want to make sure that everyone learns how else we can leverage this community to benefit everyone, enhance our relationships, achieve our own goals, and give back to strengthen the community by helping others.
