Learning curve

Under pressure most times,doing flight planning for overbooked passengers,solving queries,problems.Deal with unruly passengers,work as a team.Take intiative,miltitasking on a daily basis.Learn to be more efficient and grow more confidence when dealing with pressure constantly.Enjy mostly the passengers and the adrenaline of working under pressure knowing i can and satisfy not just one but a few passengers each day.Get along with all staff as they respect me due me being a senior staff member and how groom and carry myself.I enjoy the profiling of passengers and imposters and identifying false documentation because from experience i am quite good at it if i can say so myself.

Pros: staff discounted tickets for myself and family and friends.Discount at certain hotels.Discount at Table Bay Hotel for female staff for makeup and nails.Act as supervisor when he or she on leave,etc. and get paid for acting supervisor.
Cons: yes we do work long hours especially over the weeknds.Starting at 04h15 in the morning.Always working Christmas and New Year.

BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE

there honestly isn't a typical day when working in the aviation industry. you get to meet different people from different backgrounds, cultures, experiences and upbringing. you need the ability to be empathetic and considerate and friendly to each and every customer you meet. i learned to be sympathetic and patient towards human kind. my co workers brought out the best moments in me because of their crazy personalities. i really enjoyed the experience i got from meeting people from all sorts of backgrounds and travelling as much as i did, gaining exposure to different cultures. the long hours, challenging and difficult customers, working over weekends and holidays and putting customers first, even on the worst days of my life were challenging, but manageable.

Pros: I was given an opportunity to be acting team leader in one of the departments i worked in.
Cons: long hours, working on weekends and holidays

INTERNSHIP

i am in payroll department so i help employees with their queries and calculate hours worked during month end . My relationship with my co employees is more like a family kind of relationship I have learnt lot of things but what stood out of all things is being able to make decision and my presentation skills and communication skills have a improved i enjoy capturing month end data at the end of the month the most challenging part of the job is having to decline an overtime of an employee because the right procedure was not followed.

Pros: working in large diversity and availability to prove what you are good at.
Cons: working long hours

Excellent work oppertunity

I typical work day consist of managing staff, have motivational meetings with them. problem solving. I had a good relationship with my staff as well as co-workers What I have learned is that you can't make a success on your own, you have to work as a team. If someone needs your help and advice you must be there for them. What I enjoyed most is the challenges that my job offered... if there was a problem I would want to solve it to the best of my knowledge. The most challenging aspect of the job is ... that I do not experience this... I see my job as a challenge and i perform it to the best of my advantage

Pros: Great promotion opportunities. Salary was good
Cons: Not really any cons...all was good

It's a good organisation

It's a good company to work for since co-workers are enthusiastic to work with each other. However there are no processes in place of which was a big learning curve for me to realize the importance of processes.

Pros: travelling
Cons: no flexible work hours
