I’m the Finnish guy who ambushed you when I saw the book in your hand. Just wanted to say hi — so, hi!

PS. I now have my own copy, though I did end up paying an arm and a leg for it.

I noticed in your blog that you are a IBM Certified SOA Solution Designer and that you work for IBM in the UK. You obviously love writing and you are clearly pretty good at it. In light of this I just wondered if you would like to write a brief case study about your role as a solutions designer? I am a careers adviser at the University of Derby and I have been tasked to update the Graduate Occupational Profile for ‘Systems Designer’. Its pretty much completed now but I do need a new case study which casts some light on how a new graduate might progress in to a role such as yours.

Take a look at the current profile case studies and if you would like to write something brief it will immortalise you on the Graduate Prospects website:

It would be great if you could help out or if you know of someone who could help.
Please email me if you have any questions.
Cheers
Simon
