My Introduction with corporate world.No Big Names. No software firms….Not even any reputed MBA college I can boost abt.. Campus was lukewarm so I landed up in corporate world with a Contact Centre (“ read between the lines as call centre”) job. I was not among that crème de la of the batch and obviously not among those lucky 5 –6 people who managed to get software jobs. So I have pretty much accepted what I have got.So afterall I had my first taste of so called corporate life…learned a few good words..”corporate world” “professionalism” “campus to corporate transition”..”global” and the lists continues..does it make sense…nah!!Ever since I joined GECIS life is rushing thru in frenzy ..well first the registration..then the orientation program where we were introduced to the managers and Band 3 people and officially welcomed into the GECIS and then the whirlwind romance with the banks and company started...wow never been swept off my feet and wooed so much... sigh bank after bank were each vying for our attention....kinda boring to go through all the presentations and show interest in the details about company’s culture…their integrity policies..security issue and Six Sigma thing (don’t understand any head or tail of either)... gosh isn’t it tiring to pretend? however we managed.. in training also we don’t have much to do..either we are bursting at our seams laughing away at some wise crack or making full use of freebies given to us…coffee machine..cafeteria…internet access….free telephones...loans..PC ..AC…newspaper..Transport (“lifeline of GECIS”) etc etc. What next we ask for?Fresh out of college and I just want to enjoy this new experience…esp the thrill of that first salary..8 thousand bucks …peanuts..but it matters .There are certain things I like abt my office….like good looking people always saying nice things abt u…even if u aren’t performing….”Not a Problem u will improve” .My process is no where in the scene …it will start somewhere in October. so it’s like we are sitting idle n getting paid..WHOA!! God bless these GECIS people.Next good thing is that my office gives me the luxury of staying home(ofcourse after my office hours)…. although job is for my temporary engagement but I m enjoying this facility to its fullest…if u live in Jaipur not many people can have this privilege. But sometime I do miss all the reception my sis used to get when all the sundry come to know that “”hamari bitiya ghar aa rahi hai”…falls short of the band baaja and the garland atleast. But I donot mind because its always the forbidden fruit that’s tastier.My working hours has been changed to day shifts…but coming in night was so much fun… 2’oclock in the night n I am doing syllable drill of English alphabet…the one I used to do when I was in the kindergarten ..”Childhood days r here again la la la…”Well not exactly for past few days I haven’t had much time…working 9 hours a day is not something I am used to.but then I m not really working here …so no complains.And one thing I liked here is that people have so much respect for their job…they have no qualms abt working in a call center unlike I had thought of it. To them a job is a job is a job. No matter if they have to drawl on their microphones for continuous 7 hours in some animated language they have no clue abt. I don’t think life is any different from college the same late nights only difference being that we would be chatting with strangers thousands of miles away in US rather than our roommatesor our friends .. There are kids just out of their 12 th sitting and sharing jokes with 35 somethings....help them learn some slangs n tell them abt the new Hep place in the city. Kooooollll!!!!So altogether things r going smoothly here..infact I don’t even mind getting screwed up in CTE n Tech training. But yeah its gonna be tuff once we hit the floor though I should not judge as I am only a week old…Hope I am wrong.
