My journey to IBM

Olja Rastic-Dulborough

• Fourth year University of Southampton
• MComp Information Technology in Organisations
• Applied for Graduate Technical Writer position

IT is to me...

• a tool for communication
• a spyglass into the future
• a learning buddy
• a foundation to build a working life on
• a way to change the world

When I communicate...

• I am connected
•  - to family, friends and colleagues
• I claim my place in the world
• I participate

Today, I learn about yesterday...

• I am prepared for tomorrow
• - my skills help me understand issues
• - people are central to the solutions I create
• - real world problems are opportunities

When I learn...

• I am happy
•  - My teacher is my laptop, the web, humanity connected
• I know not only of things, but about them
•  - how they work, why they work...
•  - how they can work better

IT is everywhere...

• By stepping up;
• - I put myself on the map
• - I want to know more
• - I want to create, not just consume

The world changing part...

• Isn't it everyone's secret dream?
• I'm finding out its not
• ...but looking for the 'Yes' team
• To join in and do my part

So why IBM?

• Blows open the doors to my IT world
•  - Many paths in one place, globally
•  - New way of thinking
•  - A place to learn and grow
•  - It feels right

Why me?

• What I know
• What I want to know
• How I immerse myself
• How I connect people
• How determined I am

Why Software Dev Scheme

• - Love creating solutions
• - Love helping others create them
• - Love learning about things then sharing them
• - Would love to learn more
