Thanks all.
The test is called the DTSAT. Everything's an acronym @ da' phone company, this one stands for Digital Technology Skill Assesment Test. It's a test of basic electronics knowlege including digital switching systems, transmission, digital logic .... it's 3 hours long and it's a doozie.
Midway through the tester said "we're calculating the results and you're all doing well so far" but that was before the section where :eek: :eek: I was muttering "shoulda paid more attention when Kit was specking in ASCI and 1's and 0's because I sure could use that now". :o
There are many many traditions in da' phone company.
One is when they announce the test results they call up the ones who did NOT pass first.
So we were waiting in the lobby, about 20 of us, all the others took the 3 month long class for this test and knew each other.
I studied on BART each day. :o
I'm off to the side kinda collapsed on the couch and the tester calls me over.
"Oh well, guess I can take it again in 6 months". :o
But she just wanted me there .... when she announced that the whole group passed!!
We applauded each other as we each got a copy of the results.
What this means is that I can now put in for jobs in the "technical side of the fence"; testing tecnicians, FACS admin, Comtech, they are really pushing for fiber to the prem tech's for Project Lightspeed but I don't think I want to do that.
Does not mean that the openings are there although there is what we call "movement in the company", people moving around and creating openings by doing that...but it does mean I can apply for them, more ways to move around and get a change of scenery from this cubicle here and more $$$.
But I told my manager "I passed the DSTAT :) :) but I love it here of course :cool: "
WOOHOO TREK!!!!!
