Senior Employment Services Practitioner

I deal with recruitment and selection of unemployed and refer them to different employers. Provide them with preparation for interviews and career development. Check day to day work from my subordinates and compile the statistics for people provided with services. Provide employment counselling to differnt people especially youth. Challenging issues, the area that I'm working at is very small and there are economic activities so there is a high rate of unemployment. This cause problems to the community, I was enjoying to work with skills development than recruitment and selection. It was challenging and providing me with new information. I was always engaging with different stakeholders and different institutions which areinvolved with skills development.

Pros: The advantages of working with differnt people especially employers. To be given all the necessary policies and procedures of handling work.
Cons: The disadvantage for doing this job is when you can not provide the unemployed with job opportunities. Tha sometimes can cause a lot of stress

Worthy first work experience

I start work at 07:30 switch on my computer, and open all the applications that we use to perform duties such as outlook, excel, and other programs that the Department uses. Then attend to mailbox of complaints including telephone calls, request any outstanding documents from the person whom would like to be assisted, the time to knock off is 16:00. What I have learnt most is to be able to work as a team player and resolve any challenges that arise, and to write emails, and how I should answer a telephone the greeting and the whole part and that everyone in the workplace should be accountable for their own doings.

Pros: Access of telephone
Cons: Air conditioner
