Looking for growth

I am a bubbly person whereby if l am not at work for once people will feel lonely thats how l make people in the office feel at home since we spend most of our time at work. I always meet my targets given to me and always strive to excel in all l do. I always get along with everyone even in the first day we meet and you will always be comfortable around me that is the person l am. I really did learn a lot from working at my current job. I have learned to get along with everyone as one family and never a time you would feel not to be part of the family and also the directors believe in an open door policy which makes it so easy to speak well with the management I do not recall having any challenging situations since everyone was always available to help whenever you need a helping hand

Pros: no growth in the company
Cons: There are long working hours and not flexible for working mothers like myself

Good Working Environment

I believe that it is a remarkable opportunity for me to gain experience and influence my development. In addition, I am looking for a company where I have the opportunity to pursue my interests across functions and geographies, and where the job title is not considered the final destination of who I am but the starting point.

Pros: Excellent benefits
Cons: Minimum growth opportunites

Great Company Benefits

Great company to work for but there is no room for growth therefore career planning is limited. The Company environment is fairly good to work in, people are friendly but not necessary always helpful and assisting.

Pros: Company Benefits
Cons: No Growth Opportunities

No enough knowledge gained

Morning Sir or Madam I learned a lot about survey because the project I had been involved on it is based on surveying of I did Civil engineering not survey but I learned basic of surveying that's why I had been capable of doing work given by the company, which means what I gained is based on survey department the most not on Civil only little knowledge I gained that was based on Civil engineering, I did easy job that made my mind free without problems and confusion though I wanted my mind to work hard to keep it functioning everytime. Regard Siboniso Magwaza
