Greate learning Curve

Working at the DoT is quite a great experience, it is a friendly working environment and everyone is open and willing to assist in anything one does not understand or require assistance. I have learnt how to conduct myself in the work place and the work ethics to preserve. The most challenging thing (and It's also what I enjoy the most) is that my superiors are always welling to provide me with numerous tasks (which might seem to be beyond my experience) without supervision and I would complete such tasks. I always wake up in the morning with such great energy knowing what an enjoy full environment I am going to (which is a typical work environment I would always love to work in)

Pros: Greate opportunity for compiting with my peers in job hunting
Cons: None, whatsoever

Legal services

The work environment if adaptable and welcoming daily and the relationship with co-workers is very professional and comfortable. I have learned to be able to work individually and apply my mind where applicable, to work effectively under pressure and manage weakness into strength as well as to be productive in each and every business day.The part that i enjoy the most is to work and attend meetings in the present of Executives,DG,s and line functions, it's very inspiring and drives me to work hard to reach their level.The most challenging parts is having nothing to do, as a hardworking person i do not want to go through a business day having nothing to do, i hate it.

Pros: To work with Executives, Director General's and line functions
Cons: Not having much say just obeyer
