Start in amdocs

I had written this post on 4th Oct. But due to server problem I couldn’t publish it.

 

 

Two months over in amdocs. I joined on 4th august. That day was the start for two things- days in amdocs and days away from home. I got very less experience of training as compared to others as we 4 got the project very early. That was decided according to our project requirement. Other 3 were from different colleges than mine. The day when we got into project was the first surprise in amdocs (As far as I know, I have had very few surprises in amdocs). I call it surprise because I had never thought of getting the project so early. Then on the same day I got the first assignment in amdocs. Handling some difficulties I could finish the assignment but with some delay. So the start was not so good. Still I was little bit happy that I could finish the assignment. Who knew that the way I had made it was not the required professional way, which I came to know just yesterday when I saw the actual required format? After around 1 or 2 week we got one more assignment. I finished that also with some delay. I was not satisfied at all with that one. My colleagues had helped me in that. In fact, when I finished that I didn’t feel that I had applied my brain in an effective way. Before I had finished that assignment I had already got the other new assignment. That day I realized the tension which approaches when we have more than 1 thing to accomplish and all are not so easy. Then again as I have said earlier that my colleague helped me, I could complete it. Anyway, to let somebody see that I have done my work (though with some delay) was important at that moment instead of how I had done it. I was not satisfied at all. But there was another assignment in my sight. The assignment was divided among our group. So now this time I was to achieve it on my own. But I had to take help from somebody for some or other reason. This is also true that without taking help we can’t achieve things when they are new for us. I still haven’t finished that assignment. Now the chain of assignments is going to continue. The important thing is how much I learn from them. Till now I could have only realized that if I am able to make myself aware of the things in my project as early as possible that would be better for me. When I can’t achieve things on time, I get frustrated. At such times we need some inspiration (At least I need). Some people can inspire themselves, others like I need somebody to inspire. I need to change this attitude.

            There are lots of things which I need to learn. It’s essential for me to learn them as early as possible, if I want to survive in this world of competition.

 

            I have written this post, when I’m frustrated. So it may appear that I’m under great strain that I don’t get to live happy moments in amdocs. But this is not true at all. I have got good friends. I am really enjoying this new era in my life.

I am also in Amdocs. Amdocs is my second company though. You seem to be a fresher, new to the corporate world. Chill! Take your time to learn :-)
