Our second Podcast is now available!
I had the pleasure of interviewing Jodie Miners, Alison Young & Markus Hafner for our latest Geek Girl Blogs Podcast - each offering tips & suggestions to anyone looking for work.
Jodie gives some great suggestions on what she did differently in her most recent quest for work - and Alison gives some excellent tips for those straight out of Uni. Markus gives the unique perspective of a recruiter - and also offers some fantastic ideas.
Thanks to everyone for their tips after listening to our first Podcast! I hope you all enjoy this months podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it!

Last week, Bronwen Zande’s company Soul Solutions achieved Microsoft Certified Partner for Information Worker Solutions Competency (Data Visualisation Specialist). You can see more info about this on their blog post:

Well its been 1 week since we released the first Geek Girl Blogs Podcast here on TPN and so far the feedback has been great! Thanks so much to everyone who has responded to either Bronwen or myself.
We are now working on getting Podcast 02 happenning - with a focus on Recruitment for Women in IT. It’s actually trickier than I thought to get 4 people together at once to record a podcast! But, I believe that having the panel that includes 2 awesome women who recently have been looking for IT based jobs & a recruiter there to give tips will make for a very lively discussion so will be well worth it!
