Satisfactory

I am young and acitve i alwayd ask where i dont understand ilke to work with team but i can manage to work individually when the duty calls. I have learnt a lot from my co workers firstly i learn that inoder to work differently you have to love your job and respect others in the organisations whether its your bosses or colleagrs and secondly if you are working with people you need to be presentable and have integrity. The challenged i faves is that there is alot of pressure to deal with other childrend and when its hard to throgh with other clients those are the most demanding aspects in our organisation. For me at at work its be a pleasure to help others get through with their peoblems and i also manage to work under stress with no bad influence in the organisation.

Pros: Great opportunity for promotions
Cons: regulor working hours

Data base management

Currently I’m an Assistant Manager (Asset letting and Disposal management)at the Department of Social Development under Supply Chain Management Unit (Asset Management), I believe in public service delivery in such a way that I feel I’m not being exposed enough. Im an assertive individual with an open creative mind yet interact very well in a diverse team of individuals. During my period at the department I’m working on I have managed to maintain a clean audit since my appointment. I’m an artist by birth, during after hours and on weekends I help struggling artists and local groups to implement community growth by hosting awareness campaigns through music workshops because some of them feel neglected whereas they have the ability to change the world by using their artistic skills on a daily basis, I feel that not much is being done to educate the youth. If only I could be granted an opportunity.

Pros: MAintained a clean audit report
Cons: able to work without supervision
