Working for three Managers each with their own program was very challenging and I enjoyed every minute, also reporting to CEO of the company and carrying out tasks for him(driving), also assisting other colleagues in the Corporate branch of the company with Adhoc admin tasks gave me great job satisfaction.

Pros: Everyday was a new challenge
Cons: None

Excellent learning person, always on time and active team player.

I enjoy the most to work with different people every day, and to learn more about companies. i learn more about safety and safety courses. how the create documents and how to bind it> I am getting along with all the people I am working with. The most challenging thing was the month end. I am start working at 06:30 in the mornings. I learn to solve problems. The only problem I have is a language barrier when they can't talk English or Afrikaans, and can't read or write.

Pros: MY BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT: a) On a specific project at Sasol last year, the quotation came found too high. I started a Thumbs-up estimate comparing with the quote received. My action was successful and cut their cost from R28m to R18m by negotiation/discussions with Contractor by highlighting their errors. b) Another achievement was similar and save the company some R3m on R10m job. c) One of my biggest achievements was an estimate done for DRA on the Inkosi Imbasa project in Rustenburg area for Afplate Mining Group. The estimating provided the Common Surface Infrastructure, Shaft Surface Complex, Main Shaft, Ventilation Shaft, Capital development and equipment, Concentrator plant and the associated indirect costs. The cost for this project was R17bn and Life of Mine 42years.

Recently been retrenched after working 16 years for the same company.

I started working for a Import and Export company after i matriculated. Everything i know is what i have learnt at the company. we were only 7 employees including the boss. I loved going to work and enjoyed what i did. Reconcile bank, post receipts to CRJ and debtors account, print Aged analysis and follow up on outstanding amounts, reconcile creditors, pay creditors,answer phone calls, deal with queries, follow up on container deliveries. Working for such a small company you had to be able to assist all over in the company and that is the fastest way of learning. We were like family with your usual upsets but we would work through them and continue to work as a team to get the work done.

Pros: The working hours was from 08:00 till 16:30
Cons: After my retrenchment it is difficult to find a job since all that i know is what i have learned and been doing for 16 years.
