dejovu: Hello everyone.i am one of the few lucky 2011 batch A corp member who served in Etisalat. i must say, na by connection ooo.HR connections. fine am done with service now and i immediately got a job with Huawie as an IP/MPLS DATACOM FO.i know there so many people out there willing to get hands on experience in telecoms,
i just want to give you guys some few tips perhaps it might be of benefit to anyone

1.To Get into Huawei
-There's this huawei training in Abuja Oakland center Maintama Office 3rd floor.find your way trough and ask when the next freshers training will commence.
the training duration is 3-4weeks. thereafter ,a test will be conducted and you might be lucky. (i did not go trough the training ,my boss in etisalat just recommended me , whew i got the job instantly without interview(Baba God Noni)

2.Huawei dont employ full staff, most of the FO team are outsourced staff. for guys with TTC mobile tanning or less than 1 year internship
you might ve chance submitting your CV. This company recruit for huawei mostly for Etisalat project

-Qualiserve (
Kilometerc 11 lekki Epe expressway, P.oBox 3319
Marina,Lagos.Nigeria
WWW.qualiservegroup.com

Rutotech
i dont know the address. just check the link below
http://rutotech.com/TELECOMServiceexpertsolutions.htm

Ligthning Network
(no idea) google it

i heard of laplace too

3.Huawei hide a lot of product information, document and manual from even staffs. you can drop your email.
Manuals on OSN 3500.NE 40 routers. Huawei RTN and some other useful document

4.For freshers,theres a lot of advancement in the industry now. for interview sake, know your 2G/3G architectural. functions of SGSN, GGSN. media gateway UMG
know all the process involved from initialing a call to billing ,HRL,VLR and SMSC ,iupc and iucs .know all the interfaces. all this questions are must. you must know all this .
you also need to know a little knowledge of ip/mpls netowking, bandwidth utilization , alarms and all

5.All Said. Pray hard

Sorry about my poor English

@Larion; tanx muchos for the tips, cos ur words of encouragement rily did pull loadz of stunts,cos i began my ward round @ huawei last week, rily a good experience and quite an impressive one cos i fink i'm 1 step ahead of getting positive returns by God's grace,buh the ward round still continues though...lol
@ saliu; tanx muchos for the tips
@dejovu; tanx muchos for the tips also,buh don't huawei have same training going on back here in lagos,because i was there last week for trials, there was this training going on for the subcontractors,so i'm kinda wondering if it's same training or a different one for individuals,kinda trainee program like the type zte does organize?...do u av any info on huaxin consults or zte?
gracias muchos all pros !!!

larion: I c salihu has cum 2 d rescue, he was probably typing while I was typing, dt doesn't stop me frm throwing in my quota....

To ur first question 'fate of freshman' ;
Frm my observation I will say bleak, sorry I mean to say 'very bleak', nobody gives a fu*k abt u, I mean us, every job vacancy dese days comes with a sieve dt d freshman can't pass thru, so I suggest uve got to b aggressive too, keep knocking on doors, d young guy @ d front office in netcomm won't allow u in, he won't collect ur CV either saying u shld submit it on their site, d hefty security in huawei n alcatel won't let u in either but they will take ur CV, I don't knw if d dude in huawei will submit for u but d dude in alcatel will, d beautiful busty lady in IPNX will smile saying 'we r nt taking pple now, buh u can still submit',

@ Swift dey will barely look @ u if u say u v a cv, buh dey ll still say 'drop it, we will get back to u', I can go on n on, dts how far I v walked since my less dan 3wks of return to dis career killing country, buh do u rili blame dem, n @ all, afterall we r freshmen, wat do we v to offer? Buh don't let dt discourage u, each time I find it difficult during d day like dt, wen I get home, I aggressively go back to my books, d understanding gets beta n den I SMILE, because I knw its because dey don't knw my worth, dts y d best nigerians r outside d country, if I shld dust my passport........mayb ghana, mayb kenya, there some1 will @ least give listening ears, dts my frustration anyway, v u tried did recruitment companies, I c dem as rip off buh dey just might b of help

To d second question; 'securing a job'
Here I think strategic networking is key, now don't confuse it with 'long leg', long leg according 2 me is, I studied yoruba with a 3rd class my dad was d former MD of union bank so I got a job with UBA by skipping all tests n exams wc I cldnt pass in d first place........I c strategic networking as, m ccip n cwna certified, writing my last paper for mcitp, den I went to see my friend, met his dad who liked d way I talked, introduced me to his colleague who took me to an engineer in 21st century who claimed there is no space but linked me with a dude in VDT n I got d chance for a small interview n....viola!
First thing first y u r doing d search, don't forget to constantly go back to d books, in dis field we've just gotta b sound there no much chance for trial n error with a live network, strategic networking I say again, don't underestimate dt dude u met in d BRT, wen u meet pple try asking dem their area of specialization, if it tallies with urs, don't talk abt job buh rada set up a discussion on d technologies, let dem c y u prefer frame relay to mpls even if nt visible b logical or y u prefer microwave to fiber optics.....
Wat r u waiting for, do u v a profile on linkedin, go Behind it up (do not lie), there's a post in d career section here abt linkedin read thru, check out odas 3gwirelessjobs.com, fire up ur CV there too, nakuri.com is great if u can stand d irritating Indians, google for more, go internationally damn Nigeria, me just dey find 1yr hands on n m out of dis hopeless nation where I shld b expecting a bomb blast each time my religion is having a festival, strategic networking dude but don't forget d books while u search, if u v d change b writing dem exams small small, diversify after u v focused.......

@larion; really do appreciate every word of wisdom and encouragement...gracias muchos amico !!!

leolucas: @ Salihu, I do really appreciate with deep sincerity for ur contribution which i've earnestly longed for cos with this contribution i now have more courage to face the task of breaking into the industry.
for no.1,i've started on that,i've joined international forums where i get the much needed resources to face the challenges which would be confronted even in the future in the industry.
for no.2,i will be embarking on such voyages from this week because i've made my researches on more than enough of such firms on which i intend visiting from this week.
hey salihu,i say gracias muchos for the words of wisdom cos with them, i know i'm on still on the right path and will meet you soonest @ da top.
much thanks

@ Salihu, please i wld like us to extend our network beyond here, i'm on LinkedIn too but we cld start by adding me on ur yahoo contact list wt dis id; flexziebone_213@yahoo.co.uk or you choose wch of the networking platforms that will be convenient for you.... cheers !!!

larion: Leolucas we r actually in same shoes, I've got lotta unanswered questions nt only on dis thread but oda places on dis forum, i saw ur questions n was patiently waiting for a response buh it followed some of my trend.....ignored!

I don't blame d gurus/pros/experts on dis thread, we lost dem all wen pple started dropping in to ask for IT placement n jobs while odas fo*lishly asked questions dt v bin answered over n over again, even if ajanlekoko or salihu had a job, of course dey will have given it to their cousin's friend's brother's neighbor who will cum to their house or office rada dan a nairaland folk whom dey don't knw jack abt, I just wonder how some pple think like biscuit, dey kept coming asking for job, nt to talk abt dose dt came to advertise in a scam-looking manner. One by one d pros left, I can't remember d last time a technical discussion was on here, its so painful for me too.

As for grouping me with d many pros in house, bros u miss road ooooooo....lol, m as fresh as a fresh mint fresher who finished frm one of d fed. university less dan a year ago, I don't even have d smallest pint of working experience as I was nt opportuned during my IT wc was eventually spent in TTC mobile as a trainee, so u see......

I was waiting for ur question to b trashed so I can benefit frm it but as it stands, nothing do me, I just might have to trash it.....see below, but note! m always blunt ooooo, I don't call a spade garden spoon....lol

hey larion, so we both re Alumni's of TTC mobile, pleasure meeting you !!!
I got ur message loud & clear, finking maybe we cld extend our network beyond here cos we both seem to share same views & objectives,so if you say "yes", maybe u choose wch of the networking platforms wch is ok wt u or u cld add me on yahoomsnger wt ds id;flexziebone_213@yahoo.co.uk, so we cld start off frm der... cheers and hope to conquering more grounds with u !!!

[quote author=salihu_ali]Hi Leo.
1. Your ability to learn and unlearn...fast...especially on your own.
My maxim is "start where you are, with what you have, now!". Get books, watch videos. They will not be the most fun thing you have read, you will get bored, you might even get a migraine. Stick with it. Google for introductory whitepapers on different topics. Get a hang of the acronyms. There's a goldmine on youtube if you know how to search and I've got a couple of ebooks myself I'm always willing to share.
2. Go out and hunt, hunt, hunt...look for the small subcontractors that work with the major vendors and request for an internship. It'd be easier to get in and cross to the major vendors or Operators. There's Merit Telecoms, Laplace, Anchor Telecoms, Linksoft, Quantum.
3. The 'Fiber Optic cabling' activity itself is handled by Installers. Its a semi-skilled occupation. You can have a go at it for some hands-on, Splicing and the works. Your knowledge of Fiber would come in pivotal if you get to work in Transmission (which is the backbone of the network).The knowledge would come in VERY, VERY handy, believe me.
Hope this helps.[/quote]@ Salihu, I do really appreciate with deep sincerity for ur contribution which i've earnestly longed for cos with this contribution i now have more courage to face the task of breaking into the industry.
