Learning is Good

I have an excellent knowledge of working with tenders and suppliers and I always try to build a good relationship with my co-workers as a result we always help each other when ever there is a need. I have learnt so may things from this job like on how to deal with difficult suppliers or clients, how handle work load and how to resolve conflict between co-workers. Although sometimes difficult to work with people but I enjoy working suppliers like to handle their complaints and to inform them about any changes in the procurement process. The most challenging aspect of my job it's when there are changes in the work its self and there is no proper communication about the new changes or there is no training given and even our regional office clear on what to do. Another challenge is when the opportunity for training is given to certain individuals those who are favoured by the superiors.

Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: long working hours

Learning daily

Challenging work that needs teamwork. Learn new things daily if willing to. It can be hectic sometimes when it comes to service terminations because all cases are unique. Need to be always sober minded and vigilant when checking or controlling service termination cases since they involve money due to or by an official. Quite interesting sometimes since I also deal with family members in some cases. I love my work since it keeps me on my toes and abreast with HR policies and procedures. I have learnt that in every challenge there is a solution and the fact that experience is the best teacher. What I enjoy is when a challenging job has been successfully done and when someone comes back and say thank you, I feel on top of the game. In the work environment you practice what you preach. I enjoy coaching and inspiring my co-workers to see them developing and becoming more productive

Pros: Vast experience and exposure
Cons: Minimal chances to climb the corporate ladder
