    Re: Woohoo!!

    As a quick update.

    I had an internal interview back in October/ November about a NOC role that was coming up.

    Was told that I would hear back by Christmas, this never happened so I assumed, that even after asking about the role and not getting an answer that I hadn't got the job.

    However, today me and a colleague got pulled to one side and asked if we were still interested, of course we replied yes and apparently are going through some training in a week or two.

    We will basically be monitoring the server and network environment for the entire company as far as I am aware and when asked/ if asked by one of our clients to write a report on future expansion or whatever, then we will have to do that.

    2 PC's + phones so we can still take and log calls but we will also have 3 Plasma T.V's between 32" and 40" to keep an eye on..although we haven't been given a definite size as of yet!

    Can't wait

    Oh and apparently I might be taking over another role as well..so all hands on deck for me!

    - Will have to investigate and see

    Although the shifts, from the sounds of it, may be quite long..so possible an XBOX 360 or PS3

    Re: Woohoo!!

    Sounds very similar to my last role.

    Shifts? 4 on 4 off with nights chucked into the mix by any chance?

    Re: Woohoo!!

    Make sure they're compensating you for the new role too... it's all too easy to get sucked into a "promotion by name" at that stage.

    Congrats on getting the promo

    As in 3 people per shift?

    Yeah again sounds like the standard practice.

    Although don't be too suprised if alot of time there are only ever 2 of you per shift.

    Re: Woohoo!!

    Well looking at the desk that has been setup behind me for the NOC role, there are only two desks, so either its two people on only, ever, at all or two of three people on at any one time.

    Well the dude that is training comes up, me and my colleague will be asking questions, as we both feel that it should entail some form of pay rise.
