Aker needs a refinery built. They pass on the engineering to Fabricom GTI, who then hires subcontractors for the actual work. It's a bit more complicated than that, but it doesn't matter. I'm working for one of the portuguese subcontractors.

edit: there were around 900 workers at the worksite during the busiest period (week 3).

Re: Job, what do you do?

Also,

I've been doing tech support (desktop-support, server-support, anything basically) for Lastminute.com benelux offices, for around 50 users, since January last year, full time, while studying. We moved onto a part-time system last December, since everything was organised and structured properly (I merged a couple of servers, made documentation, procedures, inventory, contact lists, etc..)

I eventually got a friend of mine to help me with it since the other job required a lot of my time, but I'm still doing the on-call support and I stay in touch with everything that is happening at the office.

Re: Job, what do you do?

Im still a student, but only technically. I got offered an internship at a Japanese shipping electric company, so my university enrolled me on a 'new' course so I could maintain my student status.

Ive worked in some kind of internship role for nearly 3 years now, doing some kind of research for the companies I've worked for.

I am currently researching fuel cells and power line communication for use on ships. Im attempting to come up with a design for a new system and idea for using Power line communication onboard said ships.

I had many different things I dabbled in in uni. I don't particularly worry about 'the future' and 'career' stuff. I don't like the ladder as a metaphor for career development. I have lots of little bits of experience in different things, and Im happy that way. I'll focus if and when I need to. I don't watch TV, don't often buy expensive clothes. My only real cash outgoings are nights out, food and travel. I'm thus quite happy to be earning shit and working hard for it, as I'm getting plenty of experience along the way. I hope to maintain my student status for longer and hopefully take advantage of more, similar oppurtunities to what I've had so far.

Re: Job, what do you do?

My Job Description:

The candidate will be required to carry out both in depth product support (Tier 3) and training on the complete range of ****** equipment. This includes our legacy products, products from other manufacturers that ****** resells, and the new range of WiMAX products being introduced.
The form of support will range from creating network solutions, to simple custom configuration changes on customer networks and to relaying details of newly discovered problems to the R&D departments within ******, then relaying any fixes from that department back to the customer and checking that the issued fix resolves the issue at hand.
The candidate will be required to provide technical leadership to the local support team. The candidate has to keep abreast of latest wireless network solutions by self learning and attending relevant courses. These include but not limited to WiMAX, HotZone, Softswitches, Multimedia networks etc.
The candidate must have a good understanding of wireless network architecture, ability to learn new technology in very short time frame and under pressure, be an excellent communicator, both verbal and written, and be able to present training sessions to classes of varying sizes and be able to adapt classes to suit the level of training of the attendees.
The candidate is expected to provide technical leadership to other technical members of the ****** Support team in both ****** products and with external technologies.

Candidates must be able to troubleshoot complex wireless network problems such as making VoIP calls over a WiMAX network via SoftSwitch and over satellite backhaul before terminating it on a standard transmission network.
The use of both TDM and IP equipment to allow inter-connection with PSTN networks and the more commonly used RF network infrastructure used to carry IP data.
The ability to use RF test equipment such as power meters, spectrum analysers, both for in-field calibration of equipment, signal strength density readings related to network coverage, but also under lab conditions to simulate customer problems.
Ability to approach problem in a systematic manner and lead the others to a satisfactory conclusion.

I'm also quite fond of being a Dad really...

Re: Job, what do you do?

Last year as a student I worked part time at a major Import company.

The work was pretty ordinary; turning plastic GE fridges into stainless steel ones by attaching covers to the doors. After this was done, some sort of secret magic rain dance ritual is performed and the fridge instantly doubles in price.

I rarely worked more than one day a week part time. The pay was rubbish. It's one saving grace was the ability to buy a/v gear from brands like Pioneer and Toshiba etc at import prices.

I could choose to go back there for this year. But I really have lost all motivation for the work and have bought most of the useful gear. So perhaps I will flag it this time around.

Re: Job, what do you do?

work for family firm but my pay relates to how much work i pick up or do not a nice fat 'here you go son' cheque from dad. as such some months i can be poverty stricken and others i can go buy champagne and spray it on poor people whilst laughing.

altho most of the cash i earn seems to go towards the car as its somewhat of a gas guzzler

Re: Job, what do you do?

i work for a marketing company, i've a third share so do have the luxury of being my own boss. I'm still also on the books as a director for an IT support company i started about 7 years ago but very rarely have to deal with that.

moneys ok, i'm not really over keen on buying new shit for the sake of it, the majority of my earnings is put into a property portfolio which i'm hoping in 5-10 years time could generate enough for me to stop/cut right back on the work i'm doing.

as a side note, if any of you are talented designers i'm always looking for freelancers for small individual projects. send me a pm if you are intersested.

I'm a student but I work part-time at Hollywood Bowl (a bowling alley). It's actually a pretty good job! Apart from if you have to work on weekends, when the place is full of screaming teenagers

Essentially, it routes two lots of signalling together, to set the call up, then arranges for the actual traffic (voice/data/whatever) to be passed through, then disconnects the lines and removes any line-busy tags on them when either end hangs up.

k?

Edit: Oh yeah, most softswitches these days have a built-in capability to handle VoIP lines, either using SIP (direct IP to IP) or any of the VoiP protocols such as MGCP, which may take a VoIP generated call and route it to PSTN if the called number is not another VoIP line.

Re: Job, what do you do?
