This is the 4th time that I am employed at the company. I can thank my hard work for that.

I started as a general labour underground. I got my trade through the mine making boilermaker of the year 2006 before qualifying, got offered double my salary , but the mine had a freak acciend hence my latest return back . I work well with everyone that I meet. I take great pride in my work and I am eager to learn more every day. I have sober habits, I know that no matter where I end up I will be successful, I think that if you had to give me a chance I would surprise everyone.

Pros: I get to do what I love and feed my family
Cons: If only it was at the ocean or better money

Jack of all trades and a master of all.

I helped out a friend with her business for quite some time in the recruitment industry for about 3 years. I help with the interviews of senior management positions and directors of companies. I am a not so good looser, I usually win, second place is not good enough, but I must say, if I know I won’t make first place I win tell. Negotiate is one of my strong points and I like to make my client feel that they are in control and that they understand the deal well. This is to build a good foundation of a honest and a trusted relationship. I am a Jack of all trades and a master of all. I believe time is money and should not be wasted. I am not perfect, but try to be the best I can. You will not be disappointed in me that is a guarantee! After 25 years’ experience in sales and ICT, I now have the time and money to study for my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. I have all the experience, but now I want to put it on paper.

Pros: Stable and 25 year life of mine
Cons: No opportunities for promotion

Life as a graduate can sometimes be a curse as I have found out.

My day starts at 5am until 2pm on weekdays but I sometimes I work longer shifts if needs be. I came here with a year's HR experience and I have since acquired a lot of experience in this field. I have had good reviews from colleagues (subordinates and superiors alike). I am very thankful to BML for the opportunity and support they give in my daily endeavours to do my job.

Pros: I have learnt to relate to people from different backgrounds and of different educational proportionals because of the type of industry I am at (Mining - skilled and illiterate).
Cons: Odd hours and do not feel there are prospects for me to grow here.

Happy they gave me the chance with my little HR experience.

We work 9 hours a day (and sometimes more). I relate well with my colleagues, this has been confirmed by both my subordinates and management (have been moved from one operation to the next whenever needed to try and stabilise things). My work environment is so diverse and that has taught me to relate well with people from different backgrounds and race (both literate and illiterate).

Pros: Learnt to relate well with different people and that has made me to be more productive.
Cons: Don't feel my career is moving in the right direction (and fast enough - do not feel very welcomed)

I am on the mines for more experience but would like to move to Kzn for the right job.

I do all repairs and services underground as well as any breakdowns. I believe in being friendly to all my coworkers it just helps the job but I stand my ground when needed. I enjoy learning the different systems and the way of doing different things. I enjoy working with my hands and learning and making plans. The most challenging is to do any work and breakdowns with minimal equipment and spares until the next day.

Pros: Hours are good,
Cons: Being underground

Good learning curve

I've learnt to be independent as I get projects that I manage from start to end.Rather than relying on the contractors for construction,we do it ourselves in my department from installation to commissioning.My relationship with my colleagues is good and racially diversified,we see one another as colleagues and take orders and respect as per organogram.

Pros: Good opportunity for self assessment
Cons: Some sections are too remote and dangerous
