Experience in IT

1. Made significant contribution to soft-skill training for the IT industry.2. Focused exclusively on IT in the initial 4 years of career (1998-2002).(Normally, it is felt by the HR managers that young engineers are disparate to management concepts. My experience,however, proves to be different).
