We here at Windows IT Pro have been thinking a lot about how we can provide some of the support and resources that women IT professionals might need. One step we've taken is to set up the Women's IT Forum. Head on over to our Forums section and take a look (you'll find the forum under the General forum category). We've got some great discussions going, and forum moderator LLP is busy responding to queries and suggestions for improvement and expansion.
We'd like to know about the kinds of resources--both technical and personal-- that would help you most as women IT professionals. Let us know your thoughts--what you need, what you want, what would help you succeed. Contact us however you'd like to, by leaving a comment to this blog, posting a forum comment, contacting any of our editors via email. We really get a kick out of hearing from you, and we're excited about the prospect of partnering with you to build a women's resource center that meets your needs.
Just curious.... why there needs to be a difference. This is a hard industry where management and now every college grad is a COMPUTER EXPERT. People that work in industry have take the jokes from Dilbert to Saturday Night Live and most see people that work in this industry as little hobbits locked up in a computer closet somewhere. That we have no sense of business understanding. NOW.... we have to read about how WOMEN are all upset. Everyday I hear women Engineers complaining, Accounting womens complaining. We are developing a society of promoting complaining so media like this can thrive over lack of providing essential material and skills to help improve us all and achieve more within this industry.
I have fun reading the new BLOGs, I have to say, IF YOU WORK AT A PLACE WHERE A MAN TREATS YOU BAD, HE IS THE ***, NOT EVERY MALE!!!! LEARN THAT DIFFERENCE. IF YOU GO TO HR AND NOTHING HAPPENS FIND A NEW JOB OR SUE THE COMPANY!
Now, lets all talk about ways to improve technology usage and guidelines for EVERYONE....
