New Job

OK. Now that it's been announced, I can share a limited amount of details on what my new job is. Of course, I never reveal which company I work with, or mention any co-workers or manager names in my blog, so if you want more details than this, you can contact me directly.

I'm staying with my current company, and I am even staying within my current division. I'm going to be a Program Manager. I'll be reporting to a 2nd line manager in my organization now, and will be managing a program that identifies the need for technical articles, finds writers willing to write the content, and connect them with the appropriate delivery formats and vehicles for that type of documentation. That's an over simplified version.

I have a mixture of feelings about the new role. I'm ready for a change and I feel like it's long overdue, but of course I've been in my comfort zone for so long now that it's a scary change. It's also a very visible role, and being an introvert (gasp! it's true), this is the part I'm struggling with the most. I can't let fear keep me in my comfort zone, though, so here we are.
