Starting the working life...

2 Weeks since work started and now I'm in my 3rd week of work.

How am I doing? To be frank, I'm not very sure.

Since this role I'm in is a newly created position, there isn't any benchmark for me to gauge to. Hmm, before I continue perhaps I should say what I'm doing.

I'm in this company called V****. It's the first company that does Virtual Network Operation; what that meant is that a company with global operations or at least regional operations just have to approach us to get their global network linked and managed. In one sense we are the 3rd party which liaise with the Telco in various countries (eg SingTel in Singapore, Optus in Australia, Verizon in USA, etc) to get the internet lines to the companies. Other than getting he lines, we also manage them - meaning that the IT staff in the companies just have to focus one their internal operations and leave the troubleshooting, if any, management and optimizations to the group of professionals in the company. In a sense, it's a win-win situation for both Vanco and it's clients.

Well, so what I do there? I'm doing a Account Support role, supporting the Account Manager (Client Manager) and the Technical Consultant - in a sense, I'm supposed to reduce the tedious tasking that they have on hand so that they could provide better quality service to the customers. Hmm... I sort of glamorising this position but no one can deny the fact that each role in a company is vital for a company growth. At the end of the day, a company's survival is all about teamwork. Like what they say, a missing brick could be all that's needed for the fall of a skyscraper.

Enough of digressing. Anyway, I have been learning how to generate reports for the past 2 weeks, I think I have much to learn and more to think how I could simplify the process so that I could take on more responsibilities. Why more responsibilities you'd say. Well, I'm think I should force myself to be on the move every single day so that I could develop myself as well as add value to the company. And when I look back 2 years later, I could say how much I had contributed to the growth of the company and go on to another new role.


Well, time to sleep. I'll continue next round.
