Moving from Journalism to IT

Olympics is going to kick start today in China, Beijing. Everybody is waiting for this mega opening ceremony. Today's date is 08/08/08...looks like an auspicious date for Chinese and that's the reason this date was opted. There is also an important event happening in my family.

My sister has put up her papers in her organization today. She is looking forward to new challenges. Moving from the field of Journalism to Information Technology (IT) industry was not at all an easy task for her. She is passionate about Journalism and she would always recall something or the other about Journalists appearing on various channels(nostalgic) while watching TV. She misses the world of hoopla, aggressive behavior, and clear visibility. Moving to a new world of Information Technology was little difficult initially. However, she worked really hard to get through it. She finds the IT world to be a relaxed one for the following reasons:

1. We work for 5 days a week. Her favorite pet line is: 'You guys work for 5 days a week; even then you crib a lot!'
2. Working for normal hours wherein you have the flexibility to be in touch with your friends (Thansk to Gmail chat :))
3. Work hour is well defined; plus you have the flexibility to Work from home (WFH).
4. Job responsibility is well defined.

For her, the new assignment would be a contractual position with Cognizant (CTS) and she will be on payrolls with another partner company. The exciting news is she will learn something new with one of the best companies of the world.

She is looking forward to joining this organization and so do we. Let's see how thing s go for her from now on...
