“…in this digital world… being a jack of all trades is the best because you’re bringing in a pool of skills and that’s exciting in any organisation…”.
In this week’s podcast, presenter Dominic Laurie interviews TalkTalk’s first female Field Engineer Patience Ali. As a child, Patience was introduced to the world of telephone lines and engineering with her father in Zimbabwe – and after a wealth of different jobs, experiences and careers, she’s doing a role that her father would be most proud of. A former Chef in the Army, Palliative Care Nurse, Banker - and now Field Engineer.
In this role, Patience has a big responsibility – connecting a customer to our services via the exchange. The work which she calls a ‘plug up’. She says, ‘when you genuinely love something, there is no such thing as a man’s job’ and would encourage other women to pursue the work that they love.
At TalkTalk we are helping keep Britain connected at one of most challenging times in our country's recent history. Hear inspiring inside stories from some of the people who work here, and why it’s a great place to work.
