Congratulations! It’s a….Microsite!?

By guest blogger, Beth Lasky, IS&T Communications Manager

It’s true! Sodexo has officially ‘delivered’ a new site where IT talent can learn more about our technology team and the exciting career opportunities we offer. After going through some initial labor pains, the newborn site is ‘just what we’ve always wanted!”
It was proudly introduced by our Talent Acquisition Group last month and can be accessed here at http://www.sodexoitjobs.com/

The site showcases our diverse projects and profiles a number of our technology professionals. You can take a virtual tour of the department to learn more about our teams and the systems we work on. It short, you’ll learn what makes Sodexo a world class employer in the IT market.

I’ve been Sodexo’s IST Communications Manager for nearly 3 years, but still consider myself a rookie. Thanks to a wicked learning curve, I’ve come a long way in a short time. But making the switch from Health Care communications for a local company to technology communications for a global organization pushed me way outside my comfort zone.

In fact, I thought I blew my initial interview at Sodexo when I was asked, “How technology savvy are you?” Compared to my IT coworkers, I’m a novice. But it is incredibly fulfilling to take complicated messages and find just the right words to get people to pay attention.

I am still amazed by Sodexo’s healthy corporate culture. From the top down, Sodexo encourages new ideas and celebrates diversity of thought. In technology, when a team tackles an issue, no one points fingers to place blame. Everyone rolls up their sleeves and works toward a common goal: to make everyday a better day for our users. How refreshing!
Just like any newborn, Sodexo’s IST Microsite will continue to develop and grow to reflect our ever-changing IT organization. You can explore the site at http://sodexoitjobs.com/. Remember to forward this link to potential job candidates and to your contacts in the technology industry.
