Job Description:

Right now I am working on a project for TELSTRA (Telecom Australia). My job is to process the orders for new landline connections, assign switching circuits and establish communication links between customers home and telephone exchange. In laymen's terms, getting the dial tone in the customer's phone. I do all this via a third party software.

Good till now. The only problem is the odd work hours. We have various shifts starting from 4.30 am and it keeps changing periodically. Also work starts getting a little monotonous after a while.

Advice to the juniors:

While appearing for the interview it is important to be confident and just make sure to not lie. Also remember one thing getting placed is about luck and more about being at the right place at the right time.
