Hi there,
I have been nominated for Blog It Forward by Eoin Hurley BIF. We both started in SAP around the same time and although we work in different areas (Eoin in SD, myself in SRM), we see each other regularly both inside and outside of work.
If you want to get more details on the Blog It Forward Challenge, check out more info here: Blog It Forward Community Challenge.
Introduction
My name is Conor Harkin. I am 30 years old and hail from Roscommon Town, Roscommon. I attended university in NUI Galway, where I studied Business Information Systems. As part of our final year exams, each student is part of a group who undertake a project. Our group were selected as winners of the "Best Final year Project" which was sponsored by SAP. This led to me meeting with Tom Bentley from HR and my eventual job application. I started work in SRM in October 2011 and am still working in this area today.
Fun fact about my country/myself
For a country of its size, Ireland has a pretty impressive array of Summer festivals. Many of these only began in the mid noughties but are internationally renowned. They include Body & Soul, Forbidden Fruit and Longitude. However, the jewel in the crown is undoubtedly Electric Picnic.
Started in 2004 as a 1 day event, the festival expanded to 2, and then 3 days. It is held every year on the grounds of Stradbally Hall in Co. Laois. It is described as being a boutique music and arts festival, and has received international acclaim since its inception. Rolling Stone magazine described it as "one of the best festivals we've ever been to". It has also been called Ireland's version of Glastonbury. In recognition of its success and growing popularity, It was voted Best Medium-Sized European Festival at the 2010 European Festival Awards
Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy the arts. Every kind of music is covered - rock, pop, indie, hip hop, traditional ,folk, electro, house, techno and celtic mysticism.
