let's share our experience as IT Helpdesk
i manage to work as IT helpdesk few year back, mainly provide 1st level support via phone/online
but since i'm located in my customer office (consider as my working site), most cust. prefer me to provide 2nd level
which mean, they just call "Hey I got problem" and I have to face them and fix the problem on-site... tired lor..

got few but many of them really stup*d bout computers

Me: Hello, sir How may I help you today
Cust: My PC got problem, it cannot start
Me: May I know what Operating System are u using sir
Cust: I'm using PC lah

really fedup but sometimes, I hold down 'mute' button and LMAO smile.gif

share ur's too

forgot to mention u there got better salary than me
I'm only getting RM1800 basic + RM300 transportation allowance + RM350 phone allowance (woot...)
basic working hour: 8 hours/5 day a week, No OT (usually work more than 9 hours per day la... since cust. really likes me and need me to do all the thing for them) sadly cant claim OT lor...
just regard them as a helping hand from welfare boy tongue.gif

Not really... depends on ur job description and pressure level u have... as for me I will keep it clean, trying to close the trouble tickets by myself... usually we only need 2nd level if there's something on hardware issue, which u cant solve via the phone / online
It's in my job description

i would recommend someone who have ability to handle pressure and well experienced for this kind of job
of course this job provide u with a high starting salary equals to work pressure you'll have
yesterday my fellow frens said one of her employee are leaving after working for only 3 days sad.gif
it is sad coz she did pay him over 2.5k as a starting salary plus medical/dentist and insurance coverage as well as good allowances
and i think since he is a newly grad. job seeker it's kinda hard to get employed so he'd better think twice before leaving
since then she said she will never hired a newly grads or a jobseeker without enuff experience in call centre/helpdesk to work with her
anyone interested in?
