Excellent learning atmosphere of the property industry as a whole as a major stakeholder.

> day to day activities includes, planning meeting for the day, > ensure that all inquiries for the day are attended to >attend to supply management requirements e.g compiling of tenders for adverts >payments of account and doing reconciliations >attend to inspection of properties >provide reports as and when required >attend to contract management issues. From this environment i learnt the meaning of working as a team for the success of the whole unit. The exciting part of this job is the exposure and the knowledge that the job gave me of the industry. The most challenging aspect of this job is to ensure that compliance to OHSA Act and industry standards is adhered to as other suppliers will usually circumvent and not comply to the provisions of the Act and other prescripts.

Pros: Great opportunity for progression as a result of the skills and expirience acquired, as my empolyer is a major stakeholder in the property market
Cons: The huge numbers of properties administered through out the province of KZN.

EXcellent Learning Curve

Good Day I had a very good experience with my mentor and my boss.I have learned a lot. Developed numerous skills. working at National Department of Public Works has made me realize my strength and weaknesses in the work place. I have learned that is imperative to be on time, be accountable for your mistakes, reconcile your work before is taken any further, be able to prioritize, work over time sometimes, resolve issues,teamwork and individually. The most challenges of the job is when there is so much pressure. When you have issues with one of the colleagues and it has to be resolved so that they can be productivity. When you have to know the strength and the weaknesses of your colleagues, mentor and my boss so that you can achieve the best outcome of the work as a team and as an individual. I enjoyed 95 percent of my job.I love working with numbers. I also enjoy the relationship I have with my mentor and my boss.

Pros: updated by the level we are as south africans interms of infrastructure and development

Excellent learning curve

Every work day feels like I am at home when I am at National Department of Public Works, I enjoy working for this company. My relationship with the co-workers is excellent, there is never a dull moment with them. With this company i have learnt how to deal with working under pressure, and how to avoid having conflicts with the other employees at work. What I enjoy most about being at the National Department of Public works is that our employers do not like to see us in the same position, the want upgrade in our lives with regards to education and growth in general. The most challenging aspect of the job is when it comes to data capturing, contractors report very late and there is no way one can capture without the Labour reports. It is as if you are not doing your job, but it is the contractors that delay our work.

Pros: Great opprtunity for working
Cons: Employers do not want to release the stuff early when there is strike around the CBD
