 During my time at Etisalat in 2009, there was a launching of a new system and
we had to migrate all the previous customer's Database to the new system that
was a major change that I encountered as a data processor, to make it easier on
myself I have volunteered to be a part of the testing team for this new system
even though the testing sessions would be out of my office hours I still wanted
to do it so that I can be a reference to my team later, that has also made it
easier for me to understand the system and adapt easily to it since I know all
the details of it. This experience has also allowed me to give my feedback to
the IT department so they can update the system according to my feedback,
this made me feel like I am a part of this project it reflected on my flexibility
and acceptance of this change and made me look forward to it. After the
migration process, I was the mentor of my colleagues and their guidance.

collaborate effectively?

 When I was working in Etisalat a telecommunication company i was a business analyst and was
handling a project for Dubai’s electricity and water authority, The customer had a problem that he had a
very large plan that was costing him around $250,000 that he was not using this plan included sim cards
with data plans that no one was using, the customer's problem was that he was unsatisfied with the waste
of money on data plans that where more than the number of employees he had. I and the sales manager
and had to partner up and think about a solution for this customer, of course, the sales manager did not
want to offer any reduction in the plan because from his perspective that Is going to generate less
revenue as for i thought that if we did not find him a solution we are going to lose this customer forever
because he would not appreciate not being able to find him a solution, I tried to convince the sales
manager losing a bit from the pie is better than losing it all so I suggested that we find a way to make the
customer satisfied and at the same time retain more customers. First, we suggested that instead of
assigning a sim card and data plan for each customer its better if we give them a pool of data that they
all share as a company, that way the customer will be paying exactly what he needs The second
recommendation was to create a retention plan for the employees in the business that way we reached to
an agreement that the customer would be satisfied and the sales manager would retain profit.

had to report the customer to the police and they would take further action
with him at the begging I use to feel so sympathetic and sorry for the people
who would get reported to the point in which I was doubting this job and it
started affecting me so I had to share my thoughts with a colleague who
had worked in the same sector and see what she thinks, she told me to
learn how to not let my emotions get in my way because that would reflect
negatively on myself and think about job as a task that has to be done and
