Hi all, over the coming weeks we are going to be posting a series of interview style blog posts all about you!
They are going to be posted and promoted on SharePoint-community.net plus Collab365 Global Conference in a “meet the community” series.
The goal is to find out about the wonderful community, plus help educate others by sharing experiences.
*** answer these 3 questions in the comments ***
Question 1 : What does a typical day working with SharePoint look like?
(I.e. Do you develop, administer, sell it, write about it, demo it? Let’s us know which version) … Try to share at least a couple of sentences 😉
Question 2 : How do you keep your skills up to date?
(I.e. Where do/did you get the knowledge and skills needed to do your job? Is it courses, conferences, books, videos, peers, “influencers”? Give examples).
Question 3 : What is the one (non Microsoft) App / tool / script you couldn’t do without when working with SharePoint (or Office365)?
(E.g. In my developer days I would say things like .net reflector, SPServices, Resharper, Balsamiq mockups, CKS Dev). (If you can’t think of one let us know your favourite SharePoint feature).
Optional Question : How do you get involved in the SharePoint community?
(I.e. Do you attend user groups, blog, speak, write, SPS, conferences?)

That’s it. If you can post the answers in the comments we will get them copied over and published. Can you also let us know of a good profile photo to use? We can take it from your FB profile if you give us permission..
Who’s the bravest one to go first?
Btw – You can also do it in video format if you like. I am sure Jeff Shuey will give it a go from his paddle board! Doesn’t need to be polished just turn your phone camera on and start talking.
Question 1 : What does a typical day working with SharePoint look like? I work in the public sector as a SharePoint Solution Lead within a line of business for the largest county in the state of MN. My day-to-day role consists of consulting with departments on how SharePoint can replace current manual tasks or provide process improvement.
Question 2 : How do you keep your skills up to date? I’m actively involved in the Twin Cities SharePoint Community through various groups; SharePoint Saturday Twin Cities (spstc.com), MN SPUG and MN WiSP. Attending meetings through these various avenues allows me to stay on top of what’s new and how other organizations are using SharePoint.
Question 3 : What is the one (non Microsoft) App / tool / script you couldn’t do without when working with SharePoint (or Office365)? I’d have to say this would be Sharegate. It’s allowed me to be able to move large quantities of content in a painless fashion! Additionally, the reporting capabilities that it offers are extremely helpful specifically when it comes to tracking permissions (oh SO many permissions!).
