No, it will go to a AA guy

Since Telkom was the most <b>empowered</b>company last year.
Yippee, let's celebrate
 
been there done that no thx telkom is not the place to work sorry ...
 
"Must be prepared to work after hours when required." ... read that as "all the time" [;)]

Also by the looks of that job description they want a jack-of-all-trades which is always bad news. The poor sucker that gets this will likely be assigned more work than he can physically handle and consequently appear incompetent... perhaps this is why the position is currently open!

Be warned anyone considering this, read between the lines.
 
I just laughed when I saw that it requires the person to be customer focused...
 
"Customer focused, pro-active, innovative, initiative, patient, team player" - everything TelScum isn't.
 
well if they get more guys like this, telkom might become diffrent, remember, Telkom is in for a **** storm as of 1 feb 2005, so they are going to have to change there mindset.
