About

My career as a customer experience professional began right after my master's. It was a time whenย creating content was my hobby. It still is. I was born & raised in Srinagar, kashmir, and I've had to rise above the career opportunity gaps there.ย  Over the years (4+), I have worked with multinational organisations to solve the problems of their key stakeholders, like customers and candidates. I have developed core competencies across customer journeys from onboarding & compliance to how we solve their problems. At my last organisation, I contributed to process optimisation & the knowledge base, & worked with my Irish boss to have SOPs in place and to strategise a structure that was a win for our customers and candidates, as well as for us. My eye for reducing waste & making processes optimal is strong. I bring practical lessons that I executed alongside my last ๐”๐ง๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ˆ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐จ๐ข๐ฌ leadership course, & my ongoing courses from ๐‡๐š๐ซ๐ฏ๐š๐ซ๐ ๐”๐ง๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ. I've added lean 6 sigma to the list, because the foundation I developed from the MIT OpenCourseWare classes on it helped me do well at my last organisation. Identifying the ๐๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ ๐ ๐š๐ฉ๐ฌ , like what it is that doesn't serve the customers & why they leave, and covering such gaps has been one of my niche skills. This is what sets me apart. If customers come across me, they become our word of mouth, and this is exactly what the external feedback I have received from clients says.ย  I've had less than 2 years of experience with each of the last society-oriented MNCs, and the life's uncertainty cut my journey with them Short. I got global exposure at both the organisations, and I'm grateful.ย  I know short journeys with organisations are a red flag on my resume, but I think luck and life's uncertainty haven't been on my side yet.ย  I'm passionate about improving where we stand in the market, and building a strong presence in the market through customer word of mouth.ย  I think in long horizons, 5 years, 10 years. Researching & identifying patterns is my forte. If the pattern I identify signals something as a matter of urgency, for example, & it is non negotiable, I share the observations with senior leaders & the C-suite. I bring precision & execution in doing so. If I sound like someone who you'd like to bet on, say Hi.ย  You can reach me at wajidfarooq3@gmail.com Postscript: I also bring 10+ years of experience as an Admin & Moderator, where I happened to manage an online community of 4000+ Irish and British teens during my teenage years through university.

  • I have had a ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป in co-creating conversations internally and externally. I was able to recognise patterns and develop a problem-solving practice without being held down by my biases. I was blessed with love from our candidates.
  • My training style around my colleagues has been based on HBR frameworks. We pull information and create the answers together. Rota is one of TTM's flagships, and I've taken a lead in solving all the Rota issues coming across my desk without raising a ticket. This was not part and parcel of my responsibility, and that's how I became the main force behind training myself and others to solve problems independently and interdependently.
  • I contributed to our basic operations from onboarding to post-compliance. Candidates I interacted with during onboarding had everything explained so clearly by me, like what TTM does for them, that they didn't have to come back with questions, meaning we didn't need another employee to answer.
  • I know that sometimes we generally find ourselves in a siloed organisation where expertise remains locked within different pockets of the company. Regardless, spanning boundaries strategically has been my strength, and this has helped me forge common ground with others and discover new frontiers. It is still in progress. I will keep updating and take a more statistical approach to present the impact in a measurable way.
  • Edit 1 : Life's uncertainty cut my journey Short at TTM.
