Good commutation

My relationship with co-workers is when they don't know how to calculate hours or their tariff to help them and our relationship is to very strong because I'm working for the Accounting station and all other station submitt their claims to me.I learn a lot from my Mentor e.g how to respect members,how to deal with police members, how to calculate overtime,Capture bank forms information, Capture Sunday and Nights claims. I enjoy to work with police members because we do team work and respect each other. The most challenge is when you request advance for a member who is going to court or course and when he/she come there is no invoice for B&B.

Pros: Experience on financial system
Cons: I have to work long hours when calculate overtime for the whole cluster. Normal hours is 8 hours per day.

Hard worker, team player, fast learner

My usual day at work is stressful and working under pressure is nothing unusual. Attending meetings at least once a week. Doing administrative duties I get on very well with my co-workers and i am very friendly. I have respect for my superiors. I have learnt to set boundaries at work and not to take on too much work that I cannot handle. i have also learnt to delegate tasks. I enjoy working as a team and completing tasks successfully and getting appreciated for doing it. The most challenging aspect of my job is working with people that dont understand my job and expecting things to be done that is incorrect.

Pros: stability, medical aid
Cons: promotion posts are difficult to achieve

Expanding my knowledge and qualification

A typical work day consisted of general administraion like filing, typing, following up on enquiries etc. I was given the opportunity to expand my knowledge in various departments. I had excellent professional relationships with all my co-workers. I lived by the motto that every body deserved to be treated with respect and kindness. The most challenging aspects of my job was to complete variety of tasks regarding my different responsibilities in a minimum amount of time. I enjoyed the challenge of completing tasks accurately and with urgency.

Pros: Worked office hours
Cons: No opportunity for promotion

Excellent learning curve

Every morning I received new cases that's need to be attended immediately and give report back to my commander. Most of the fraud cases they take long to investigate because we have to liaison with the banks for more information. Nevertheless, I have to report what I have done within 24hrs. I'm very outgoing person and I get along with everyone at work. I also participate in organizing team buildings parties. From the Police I have learnt to work as a team, interact with others. I enjoy interacting with other people outside the police environment. Sharing ideals for the same goal. The most challenging aspects that I have encountered is a lack of resources. Sometimes the are no cars available to do investigation and limited access. We alway have to ask private companies to help mostly with profiles.

Pros: Reasonable benefits
Cons: We stay many years on the same salary level
