About

Hi, I’m Steve Dangerfield and thanks for taking the time to read about me, my motivation for blogging and what this blog is all about.

I live in Rotherham (South Yorkshire, England, UK).  By day I’m a freelance IT Security Consultant & Project Manager who helps clients test their security and deliver security improvements. In the evenings and weekends I dabble in a range of hobbies and interests which in the main include; Astronomy, Photography, Food/Drink, Gardening, Reading, and Walking.  I am also actively pursuing a change in the way I work with the development of my Portfolio Career and Passive Income Streams.

So, why am I sharing this Blog’s content with the rest of the world?

The reason I’m sharing all this is in the hope that you will be able truly ’connect’ with me to build an online professional relationship.  Now, when I say connect I don’t mean just link up on LinkedIn, friend me on Facebook, or follow (and be followed) on Twitter, but to actually connect, communicate, and collaborate.

The vast majority of the work I do is sourced from Employment Agencies, and the rest is from people that I’ve built up a relationship with; I don’t take work from anyone else; it’s simply better for both you and me; when you and I both know each other well, then you know what you’re going to get and I know what I need to do to give it to you.

So why not rely on the CV to do the hard work?

Basically I want to convey the complete me.  CVs and one line biographies are OK to get a summarised view of someone but if you really care then you need to invest more time to get to know that person.  As they say “from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”; from the abundance of the blog posts a person conveys themselves.

My main reason for blogging?

Self Promotion.  Most people thing that’s a bad thing, but at least I’m being honest, and really it’s only bad when all you talk about is yourself.

Thanks again, and hope you enjoy reading the content.

Steve
