Days @ ALLSEC

I am victim of call centre culture. Even though I have got a job in one of the top MNCs, I decided to work in a call centre till I get my call from the IT company. My Best Friend Prashu along with me got through 4 rounds [weird (“,) ] of selection process and we found ourselves at Allsec Technologies Ltd. the following week. I worked in Allsec for more than a month and learnt a lot of stuff from my trainer Luke Johnston. He is one among those whom I admire the most. The way he conducts himself is amazing and one has to learn how to react and express himself at certain situations from Luke. During my working days, I heard one saying “he’s my role model dude”. That’s the recognition one has to get in his so called company.

How can you identify me at Allsec. Well… I got a chance to name myself, that too in American Style. Hmmm… Doing research for about half an hour, I ended up in Matt Sanders [inspired from Heroes (“,) he he… ] People calling me Matt... Matt... Matt... it still sounds in my ears :-)

There were 20 of us in the batch and we were divided into three teams. That was the time where I met this girl named Erika Parker who was in my team. She became close to me in such a way that she always wants to sit next to me. I enjoyed her companionship (“,) and I thought that I had made one good friend at Allsec.

The script reading sessions that we had were mind-blowing and I couldn’t forget the moment when Luke told me that I was singing instead of reading. [lolz…] We practiced script reading among ourselves on the phone where one has to represent the company and the other should act as a customer. During the initial days of training, Luke trained us on American accent right from Numerals, English letters to words. [For eg, we need to pronounce “H” as “Aich” ] We felt as if we were in the primary school. [he he… (“,) ] We had so much fun during that time. How can I forget that Maggi Tomato Soup that I had during my breaks. Damn I really miss that. Those days are gone :-(

8 hours per day and 6 days per week ran very fast after joining Allsec. I had to board the bus before 830hrs from CMBT in order to be on time at the office. Traveling in MTC buses for a month was quite interesting and I enjoyed it because I wasn’t used to the MTC buses right from my childhood. [he he… ]

On the whole, I enjoyed my life at Allsec. It simply Rocked! ;-)
