Pressurised and excellent learning environment.

I have extensive experience of more than 10 years in health and social research, monitoring and evaluation and reporting. Over time, I have strengthened analysis, data management, report writing, presentation and communication, negotiating skills. I can confidently communicate and make formal presentations in high level forums and governance structures. Organising and coordinating high level meetings i.e. quarterly reviews and special meetings convened by the Director General and the Minister. Team work and working extended hours is core to the type of work I have done over the years. Pressurised environment and good learning environment.

Pros: Pressurised, pushed to learn fast, ever occupied environment
Cons: Pressurised and crisis management mode in most cases

Excellent learning curve

it is very interesting cause every client is different no matter how similar the type of application they might be doing.it has taught me to be empathetic and to think on my feet there be standard operation procedure but as you go along you strive to give the client the desired outcome therefore you have to come up with creative ways of doing just that.i am always ready and willing to help out therefore in a day i could be working three different positions if we are short staffed.i would like to believe that i have reached the roof as far as solving problems there is nothing challenging in a day anymore for me

Pros: ther aren't any
Cons: long working hours and saturday

Excellent learning curve and enhancement of financial and professional skills.

great opportunity for exposure in to the work environment because you get to deal with different group dynamics and challenges relating to finance . during the audits is the most challenging time because of the size of the department, but it taught me how to handle pressure and how to deal with difficult people in difficult situations.

Pros: great opportunity for introduction in to the work enviroment because of the diversity.
Cons: limited growth opportunities

Excellent learning curve

I have studied Anti Corruption and commercial Crime Investigation and the current job is giving me the needed experience in investigation as my duties include investigating fraudulent ID documents, birth certificates and visas, Asylum, Refugee permits and other documents such as permanent residence. My duties also include tracing, arresting and deporting foreign nationals. The most advantage in my work is networking and forming relationship with other law enforcement agencies such as Police, Prosecutors and magistrates. I also find it fascinating having to formulate charges and prosecute people who are in contravention with the Immigration Act and lead evidence in a court of law to secure conviction. The most challenging aspect of my work is to confront and arrest dangerous suspects and receiving life threatening threats at times.

Pros: Great opportunity of gaining experience and becoming and expect.
Cons: Unpredictable working environment
