Garduate Programme a huge Success

Over the past few years within my Graduate program at SARS. I have obtained multiple skills and learned a lot from my co-workers who were always willing to help. My development program encouraged me to innovate compliance reporting techniques which were not seen in the division before. While it may have been a challenge to acquire sufficient resources, team support and overall co-operation played a vital role in accomplishing new capabilities for the division.

Pros: Great learning and deveoping experience
Cons: Resources were sometimes seldom

My typical day at work

I have good relationship with other managers and as well the staff. The environment that I work in has a lot of challenges. Things are not stable, you always have to come up with the alternative plans each and every minute. I deal with client issues and resolve them. I have learnt that communication is key in a service environment. I enjoy challenges therefore the environment that I am in gives me just that.

Pros: Development

I have over 10 years’ experience working at SARS Customs and Excise division as a Customs Specialist doing performance analysis, reviews and in depth statistics for Customs and Excise in Port of Entries around the country.

My role at Customs was both operational and strategic in that I advise on operational matters and assist on strategic decision for all port of entries as I am based in Head Office working closely with office of Chief Officer: Customs and Excise. I believe I am capable and qualified enough to do this kind of a job. I also have enough experience with reports writing, budget reviews and short and long term planning in a big organization.

Change is of the essence

Working at this company gave me an opportunity to develop to the person that I am today. My work day exists of daily diary management, handling of petty cash and ordering of stationery. I do report writing and have to consolidate a Year-end report, I have to assist co-workers with proof reading of their respective reports. My relationship with my co-workers are excellent and we work well together. I can work individually if it is expected of me and work well together with my co-workers. I have learned a lot about myself, tolerance and how to present myself to others. I enjoy working in a team, I enjoy working together with other people and I enjoy that I can do what I love and that I have the opportunity to be part of delivering an excellent piece at the end of the day. The most challenging a aspects of the job is to work with middle management and top management, you have to learn how to handle them and you have to build a good relationship with every single one of them.

Pros: Good company to work for
Cons: No promotion opportunities
