Leaning Curve

I worked as a client relations management intern, however i have been exposed to other units in the department. My typical day at work mostly involves more administrative and secretariat work. i would be assisting management with office admin and secretariat work when i am inside the office and dealing or attending to queries made by clients. If i am outside the office i would be attending CRM workshop with the CRM educational practitioners and conducting events. I work well with my fellow colleagues and enjoy working with them and meeting clients needs. The challenging aspect of my job was leaning and been good at multitasking in different units, as i would be in CRM, Registration and Licensing and later find my self tasked to work in Secretariat which i enjoyed.

Pros: Given the opportunity to learn in different units
Cons: Time

Excellent public service environment, professional and ahead of its counterparts

The department is ahead of the curve in terms of service delivery and responding to the people of the province. It continues to set the agenda for the eight other provinces in respect of programme conceptualisation and implementation. The scope is wide and allows for innovative ideas. The political interest in the communications environment enables one to interact beyond one's scope of work and the portfolio extends to five agencies.

Pros: Opportunity for promotion and growth
Cons: Lengthy planning processes
