Microsoft SharePoint: The Chandler Bing Effect
I’ve just started at TSG, and I’ve found I’ve been having the same conversation with many people – friends, family, acquaintances etc.

It’s the Chandler Bing effect, no one has any idea what I do for a living.
I’m a Microsoft SharePoint specialist, and I’ve worked with SharePoint for a long time. However, it’s very difficult to make people understand what SharePoint actually is. In the past I’ve been known to settle for, “I work in IT”.
