The Telenor Way

I find it interesting to follow the financial situation worldwide, and even more looking at the situation for Telenor. For the last couple of weeks, Telenor has had its share of front page stories in Norway. Most of them due to the expansion plans into India.

Back in Norway

My journey in Asia is over for now, and after one year as a trainee in Telenor I am back in Oslo and Norway. At least for a while. About one year ago, I moved to Stockholm, and six months ago, the destination was Kuala Lumpur. Living abroad has been a good experience, and it has given me a taste for more.

“Malaysia, the heart of Asia”

Malaysia is truly in the heart of Asia. I love traveling, so in my spare time I have had the chance to explore a bit around the region. Kuala Lumpur is a great hub for seeing South East Asia and I have spent many weekends experiencing this part of the world.

When you feel the heat, it’s time to change!

That is the motto you will find all over the DiGi office these days. A couple of weeks ago, a major environmental awareness campaign was launched for all the employees at DiGi. It is also challenging our customers and trying to engage them through a website and several contests.

About teambuilding and seasons

The teambuilding outing with the Marketing and Strategy department exceeded my expectations y far. We went to a beautiful island called Pangkor, some four hours drive north of Kuala Lumpur. We were about 150 people altogether, and for me and the other new employees in the division it was a great way to get to know more of our colleagues outside the office environment.

Update from DiGi in Kuala Lumpur

Living abroad is a change, and moving all the way to Malaysia is a rather big change. And so far, it has been a very welcome change. I really enjoy living in Kuala Lumpur, and working here. Malaysians are nice people, and I feel that I have been taken good care of in DiGi so far.

A technical week at Canal Digital

Last week I was placed in the hands of the technical department in Canal Digital. It was an exciting week where I got to go “back to my roots”, being an telecom engineer and all. Although I have had a lot of telecommunications subjects during my period at school, it’s always in thrilling to see how it works and is used in real life. I have posted some pictures, so have a look… :-)

The trainee life in Stockholm

The trainee-life in Stockholm has been a good one. It has been very exciting, informative and developing; but also stressful and confusing at times. I guess that’s all part of being a trainee and moving to a new place. I have now worked at Canal Digital in Stockholm for more than four months. Somehow, that sunny October day when I packed my bag and got on a plane from Oslo to Stockholm seems so close, and yet so far away. The days and weeks have come and gone incredibly fast, and in another two months my stay here will be over. But the journey doesn’t end just yet. My next stop on the trainee-road is Kuala Lumpur, in the beautiful country of Malaysia (- Truly Asia!).
