Department of Higher Education And Training Reviews

 

Perfect place to explore the government protocols and acts

department of higher education and training is one of the biggest department in south Africa and it deals with all south African universities, all public TVET college and some private colleges so working there has been great in terms of a career starter and it is a right place to explore who you truly are in terms of career building. the time i started working there i quickly got along with my supervisor not even my fellow interns, we spent so much time in one office doing data collection, cleaning, analysis and integration. she learnt a lot from me as much as l learnt a lot from her. she even convinced me to stay for at least another year with her in data analysis circle due to experience i brought and problem solving skills i constantly offered.

Pros: financial stability
Cons: Not a career building Department

Extremely Dependable

My work style is extremely flexible – working on so many different projects requires me to be adaptive. In general, I try to work on one project at a time, working as quickly but efficiently as possible to achieve the highest results. All of my projects require collaboration, so I use the team environment to check for errors. I am a perfectionist and a driven worker, and I think my clear communication skills allow me to bring out the best in any team, in any project. I am extremely dependable. I have rarely missed a day of work, and am known for coming in early and staying late to finish important tasks and achieve results. This dependability extends to my collaborative work as well. I always meet deadlines, and help my teammates to meet theirs as well. For example, on my last project, a teammate was struggling to complete his assignment for the team, and I stayed late every day that week to help him not only complete his assignment, but exceed our initial estimations for the project.

Pros: Excellent
Cons: 8 working hours

Good experience

I always cope well working under pressure and working for the department has been the most wonderful experience for me because I got learn to work with different people from all different back round, learning to respect everyone's decisions and their culture too. I learnt to interact with my co-workers and most of all to work as a group and respect other people's opinion. I always enjoyed working as a group.

Pros: great opportunities there
Cons: normal working hours

I learn a lot and its a great organisation to recommend in future.

I hold a national Diploma in Office Management and Technology; I believe that my strong background in administration as a Registry Clerk, combined with my extensive experience in record management, data capturing, organizing and planning and closing a variety of projects, makes me ideally suited to be selected in the position. I am highly organized and self-motivated, have excellent communication skills and thrive in high-pressure environments, I can work to tight deadlines and I have plenty of initiative. My goal is to continue learning and developing my expertise, I believe that I will be perfect fit for the vacancy and it would help me develop both skills and growth in the field since it comes with more responsibilities.

Pros: none
Cons: fourthy eight

Why should you hire me

I am writing to express my interest in the advertised position that is currently available with your company. I appear to be a match for this role which was recently advertised on the website.

Work Independently, Working Under Pressure, Personal Safety, Remembering My Responsibilities.

- I have higher expectation for my results. I am confident in my ability to produce, and while I prepare for the worst, I do the work necessary to tilt the odds so that the best will happen. - I am consistently growing growing and take the time to continue learning even though it's not a direct requirements of the job. - I always keep line of communication open and always concerned with clients needs. - i have learned to be able to control the situation rather than allowing a situation to control me. - I always take responsibility to my action when things go wrong. I don't look for outside forces to blame, rather, I look at what i can improve upon the next time around. pointing fingers solves Nothing! - I have learned to respect my co-workers and the external stakeholders(Clients). - I enjoy to be a team player and the most challenging aspects i have faced is when a colleague performs better and the executive notice it but at the same time it becomes my strength and i groom more from that.

Pros: n/a
Cons: n/a
