What is the "IT" Factor?

I started this blog for both academic, personal and professional purposes.  I've dedicated the last few years of my life to finding out what the "IT" factor is for me and how I can be the "IT" factor for the right company.  Although developing ones skills is a constant endeavor, I am a firm believer that a strong foundation is the key to my type of success.

 I see myself as a capable, adaptable, and bright student of life who is ready and willing to embrace change and forge a productive path for myself in society.  Therefore I spend most days I asking myself how to get others to see me this way.  How do I ensure my professors, colleagues and future employers see my the way I see myself?  Although I have many sides and a wide array of interests, the goal that consumes me at present is being the right "fit" for an organization and beginning a productive and profitable career in the IT field.  I've had significant success in the past year with various connections, awards and exposure that I firmly believe are due to the fact that I see myself as an "IT" factor in the world of IT.  The world is full of ordinary people, ordinary students, and ordinary job seekers.  I put energy in setting myself apart from others by staying abreast of innovative technology, communicating effectively and weaving a growing network of contacts.  I've been told I spread myself too thin or that I focus on too many things at once but the essence of my being is my fervor to achieve some sort of understanding of as many things as I can.  This is my "IT" factor.  Information technology encompasses a broad arena therefore I make a habit out of exploring that arena.

Whether it's the latest developments in mobile applications, the battle between the new Facebook search capability and Google's stronghold on the search engine or Richard Branson's latest endeavor, these events are all connected in some way and I plan to reflect through this blog.  Ultimately the "IT" factor represents my stream of consciousness about all things IT and inbetween.  IT touches most expanses of our lives and I aim to gauge and try to understand and reflect on all that I can.  I ache and strive to learn so I welcome opinions of others and strive to understand various perspectives.
