I learnt much on this field and a lot about different people, diversity and cultures.
My workplace is a great place to work, the environment is so good as I have a good working relationship with my co-workers. I learnt so much on the field of supply chain management and a lot about different kinds of people, diversity and cultures. the most thing that I enjoy working for my company is the fact that I get to know the procedures of government procurement and supply chain as a whole. the most challenging aspect of my job is to have service providers who always do not comply to the requirements of the project at a given time which affects the project deadline.
Pros: its a great work opportunity
Cons: the working hours are normal

Good learning curve
Working at the department of rural development and land has been a great experience thus far. My coworkers are easy to communicate with at any given working day and are always willing to help where they can. I enjoy doing field work going out there to meet different subsistence nd small holder farmers, helping them manage their projects for food security sakes. The most challenging aspects are that these farmers are old and it is not easy to convince them to use the modern farming methods in order to maximize profit.
Pros: Not guaranteed a promotion
Cons: Normal working ours
