Dalal Abdulaziz Al Zadjali, Sales Support Specialist at the company says: “I joined the company in 2016 as a receptionist, and underwent several training courses that qualified me to be promoted and join the sales team. From there I began to communicate directly with customers and build a practical experience that I can rely on in the future for career advancement.

With training and qualification by company officials, I was promoted to higher positions to reach my current position. This gradation in promotion comes as a direct result of the efforts made by the Human Resources Department to qualify national competencies to take over the duties of the senior management members in the company. Today, with my experience of more than 16 years, I work to help my colleagues enhance their skills and acquire the knowledge required to assume higher positions. I would like to advise those who are about to work in the private sector that to accept any job, whatever it is. This is because it is only the beginning of a promising career that is determined by the extent of the effort a person makes for promotion.”

I was trained extensively before being assigned to work in one of the major companies in the Sultanate in this field, which greatly enhanced my abilities to deal with various cases that require emergency technical support. After completing the task, I returned to the company to be appointed in my current position as an official in the Contracts and Technical Support Department. I would like to thank the Human Resources Department, which spared no effort to qualify and train young Omani talents until this day, where I am proud to help my new colleagues in the company and encourage them to do their best to achieve their dreams in the private sector.”
