Hi community,
Formally approaching you in this matter, as I have grown accustomed to formal communication. That is what my work requires of me, and thus I have unlearned to interact in a social normal way in my own free time. As an HR professional, you always try to maintain neutrality as much as possible, and not choose parties. And thus it has become an habit to write formally to maintain some sort of distance. I consider this as an annoying habit of mine, as I am a highly sociable and personal person. In face to face interactions, you see nothing of this sort of distance of mine, and I easily connect with my peers, regardless of the context.
Even though I have created my account a few weeks ago, only now I have just decided to enter my first post. I have to admit, honestly, this is quite a big step. As you, the community, are probably well aware, this usability of Steemit is unlike any other medium, and it does require a bit of research. But here I am, right now, (in)formally introducing myself, and thereby officially starting the journey as a Steemit member and contributor.
As previously mentioned, my work field lies in HR, and I am highly passionate about this function. I have chosen this as my profession, mainly because I am this personal type, that deeply cares about my fellows, may you be my colleague, friend or unknown passer-by. Therefore, I hope to be able to contribute to the community by sharing my experiences with you, as well as my expertise. With a background in Industrial- and Organizational Psychology, my main goal within HR is to contribute to the well-being of employees in organizations. Currently active in the Netherlands, my hometown, Rotterdam, with an amazing view over the skyline of the city, I have entered my fourth employer.
As I have obtained quite a passion for IT, I am currently working for one of the leaders within the ICT sector in my country. With previous working experience for Dell, I am pretty well aware of the trends in IT.. unfortunately though, I know nothing about using this technology myself. I am barely able to explain my father how to fix a little bug of the key-board (you know, when you press Ctrl, Shift and something something at the same time and become unable to use your basic characters/signs and need to change this back). But it gets me. In our ever changing societal landscape, where things change quicker than my hair grows grey, I love following these trends and seeing how this impacts our future. And that is how I came about Steemit.
I can imagine such an introduction is not what you are looking for. But this honestly my first blog in 7 years, when I wrote a first blog for a minor in my studies. I hope though, my blogs will get better, and you will be better to understand the messages I am trying to convey. I hope I can entertain you, and educate you at the same time.
I am pleased to meet you, and am looking forward to a pleasant Steemit experience. Below a picture of myself, being highly zen. See you soon in my next post.
