Each day is a new opportunity to learn something new, improve on delivering, better service
Work day for me starts by first having a quick interaction with my colleagues over a cup of coffee, just to catch up. Then its up to capturing & processing payments, reconciling the investment account daily, reporting if any to be done, bank recons and monthly General ledger reconciliations. I consider myself to be a team player, always will to assist and help others where needed. I have learnt a lot about pension/provident funds over the years, as I have worked in administration departments as well is in the accounting department. I enjoy working with numbers. Having to assist the senior accountant with his audits from time to time is challenging for me but a new learning experience
Pros: central & great working enviroment
Cons: Not really an opportunity for promotion

Excellent learning curve
Dear sir/madam, Regarding the position currently advertised on indeed, please find attached a copy of my CV for your consideration. The course covered many topics, and I was particularly drawn to accounting. I am looking to develop specialist skills in this area and build a successful career. I have put my course theory into practice in a variety of ways, most effectively as a sales support assistant (intern) at Sanlam where I successfully completed the training. Having extensively researched your company’s values and products, I was especially interested in financial stats and financial surroundings. I feel it would be the ideal place for me to begin my career and I believe I can be an excellent addition to your team. If you would like to get in touch to discuss my application and to arrange an interview, you can contact me on email: mbambovb@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely Vulani Mbambo (SPF)
Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: long working hours

Getting the leads for yourself
A challenging environment,well structured,peaceful/good relationship with its employees, enough time to sort everything for your work everyday and have enjoyed working with them though challenging like getting your own leads and going extra mile to reaching targets also no limits as to how many hours you want to work but the longer the hours pays and get you more work for the next day or a month after.
Pros: yes there is a grate opportunity to grow
Cons: Indeed long working hours in order to reach set targets

A day in my life
I work as self employed. I train at Companies like Sanlam and found it great as i get ti know new people every day. I have to be acredited by Service andcMict Seta . i train computers at Creative Minds and i love it becausec i have to keep my Microsoft skills up to date. I compile training manuals and use the unit standards to guide me. I work great with the CEO's and managers and they know that im always just a phone call away for guidance. The best if my work is when i do coaching and i can see and feel that i have made a difference.
Pros: I work self employed. This gives me the opportunity to present training at different companies. This has given me the opportunity to learn from different organizations and to have accreditation at more than one SETA.
Cons: I work quite long hours and have to promote myself everytime from the start at each company

Good Environment
My typical training month starts with Induction training for new employees for a week, then soft skills training and technical process training for the next two weeks. Report writing and assessment is included in those weeks. I also do admin and feedback in the last week of the month as well as prepare for the new month's training. I work well with team members. I know how to work with my team members and ensure that we collaborate well, given our strengths and weaknesses. I learn each day as systems change all the time. The people I train also share a lot of wisdom. I enjoy being in the classroom and interacting with people from all walks of life. My most challenging aspect has got to be convincing business to trust training and what training can do for their teams - Often times business fails to see the importance of training
Pros: Great Learning Platform
Cons: Long Travel hours

Brilliant at operation and administration
Administration, making appointments, follow up on outstanding requirements. Do cold calling to set appointments. Meet with clients. Excellent relationship with colleagues, very supportive. I have completed my financial planning 1 as well as completing my Regulatory exams 5. Gained a lot of knowledge in respect of financial planning, working with clients. I enjoyed meeting new clients and new working environment. The most challenging is working for commission and the claw back policy.
Pros: Job satisfaction, personal growth
Cons: Commission based income

Fast and competent learner
I deal with paying outs of pension and provident funds. I communicate with clients on a daily basis, handling queries. we have a team based environment and we have to work well together to make sure that we all meet targets for the month. My communication skills have improvement and i have learnt how to work under pressure. It gives me joy when i have finalized a claim without any hassle. The best part about my job is that you learn something new almost everyday. The challenging aspect includes when Funds are liquidating and one has to explain to clients the process it takes before they can be paid out. It is challenging because these involve sections of the Pension Funds act that most people do not understand and clients start to think that we are just withhold their funds.
Pros: Great environment to work in
Cons: sometimes we have to put in long hours
