Excellent learning curve

I have a National Diploma in Engineering Metallurgy which was obtained from the University of Johannesburg in 2018. I am currently obtaining my Bachelor in Technology in Metallurgy-Part time at Tshwane University of Technology. I have a one year experience in one of thd coal processing plants where I was doing my in-service training. I also have laboratory analysis skills such as CV; ash; volatiles and moisture analysis. My strengths include good communication skills, good interpersonal skills, and good time management with good computer skills including Microsoft Word, Excel, Power-Point, Outlook and Access. My greatest desire lies in Extraction Metallurgy and thus is the reason why I saw your company as a great area to grow from. As a young lady in Engineering, I still look forward to growing from my career thus ready to go for opportunities that will definitely open doors for me. I believe that knowledge is power and that is one of the reasons why I always aim to learn in all aspects of my life.

Hard worker

In the morning usually start by attending to emails from your customers/stakeholders and queries that came late previous day. then you start on your plan for the day; revisit your schedule for meetings of the day and prepare where necessary. We basically have 2 month-ends -- so pre-planning is key. Rolling your files on time; start working on your forecast also based on the information from meetings with your customers. I enjoyed the challenge that comes with the job; our deadlines are always tired - you need to put in those extra hours at time to meet your targeted deadline.

Pros: My desire is to secure a position within your organization; where I will grow and develop in a pleasant environment.
Cons: I devote myself to my work and dont mind putting in the hours needed

Production

I leaned a lot about the production industry. it was a bit difficult to work with my colleagues but we always finished the task that was given to us. We worked 8 hours a day. The most challenging thing was when i was given tasks without the right materials to finish it.

Pros: zero
Cons: eight hours per day
