"IBM helped me develop a critical skill set perfectly suited to a genealogist. As a people and project manager I learned how to deal with people. As a researcher I learned how to gather and analyze essential data. As a programmer I leaned how to organize information for efficient and accurate storage and retrieval. Project management teaches you to stay on a timeline and within a budget. Perhaps the most important skills I learned were leadership, dependability, organizational skills and efficiency, not to mention the technical skills that come from working in a leading edge technology company."
