EXCELLENT CAREER OPPORTUNITY & GROWTH

My experience in my employment has enabled me to gain valuable interpersonal skills, have the ability to be versatile and adapt to various social situations. I have gained sufficient practical experience and exposure as regards in the field which involves performing administrative duties. Working in an administrative / financial position has equipped me with skills to communicate and interact with customers and my colleagues. I have built strong customer relations. I consider myself as a charismatic, vibrant and ambitious individual, one that is determined to succeed. While I am headstrong and confident in what I do I take care to maintain a high level of mutual respect with co-workers. Currently I am accustomed to a fast paced and a stressful environment where efficiency is a priority and multi-tasking is a requirement.

Pros: Good exposure
Cons: Limited opportunities for cross functional jobs within teams.

Great interpersonal skills

I am currently working as a Human Resource Business Partner servicing Brewing, Manufacturing Systems, Operations, Engineering, Energy & Fluids and the Environment departments at SA Breweries. It has been an interesting and rewarding position in my career that has enhanced my skills to be a more efficient and effective liaison between the company and the staff. I hold an honours degree in Human Resource Management as well as in Advanced Management. My experience is very diversified in terms of the industries that I have worked in. From mining, petrochemical, FMCG and the financial services sector. The skills that I have gained over the last 10 years of my career working for some of the best known companies known to man has given me the ability to marry a company’s commercial appetite with that of the staff. In turn finding the balance of ensuring the company maintains targets, sustainable growth and improving staff morale, which sometimes falls short due to local, global economic and social pressures.

Pros: Globally recognised company
Cons: Take over

The company has broadened my sales experience.

I see average of 20 customers daily, I help with placing and amending orders. Help with delivery, fridge queries. Help with any queries relating to customers queries. I am an excellent team player that relates well with the team and other co-workers. I've learnt to deal and offer best deal to customers. I listen well. I enjoy working people most and learning new things and new challenges. The challenges I find difficult is the language barrier I experience when dealing with foreign customers because of language.

Pros: Was the most improved rep in my first year at the company in 2015
Cons: Sometimes have to work on Sundays to supervise and overlook on an activation.

Excellent learning curve

SAB is one of the most highly pressurized environments in South Africa, whereby I have embraced this well and thrived well under this pressure. My success is largely due to team work and individual engagement, as well as my passion for sales. I enjoy building relationships and maintaining them with customers. I have also built sound relationships with my colleagues and key stakeholders. I have learned to be very resilient in these challenging circumstances. Such challenges emanate from the geographical territory we work under, the massive targets we have to chase, the numerous asks from the business and the long hours we work coupled by the sacrifices one has to make.

Pros: SAB rewards well
Cons: Too many sacrifes are made to satisfy the business requirements
