Not sure what is needed from me in this Review summary
It was difficult to work for a Company who looked for reasons every day to fire staff. The Company is in financial difficulty and therefore they closed down my Warehouse with all the staff that worked under me. I had a wonderful relationship with my staff and also had a Zulu nickname from them, which meant " the kind one". I learnt a lot within the environment I worked in. It was wonderful to get to know so many people, also over the phone and had the opportunity to meet some of them. The most challenging aspects being , was to keep my staff positive because they knew what was coming. Retrenchment in the end !!!
Pros: I can also work as a Bookkeeper/Accountant. Has done partial BComm with 5 year articles.
Cons: Would like weekend off, but don't mind to work if have to.

Excellent Opportunity
I am a very full of life person and have great satisfaction going to work each morning and see each day as another day to learn something new and make someone smile. I am a strong team player and always look for something to do during the day if work is quite, repacking cupboards,checking and tiding up files ect. I enjoy liaising with clients and suppliers. Working with figures and learning new stuff. The most challenging aspect is I will not allow myself to fail or give up and am very determined to get something right. I believe life is a blessing and we should live each day to the fullest. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Kindest Regards Taressa Hall Taressa
