?

dealing with different people has broadened my knowledge and leadership skills in terms of patience, approach, problem-solving and has taught me how to be more responsible/ accountable and respect other people’s views/ opinions. This had also taught me how to cope under tremendous pressure, as you have to stay focused and satisfy your entire customers, this goes hand in hand with proper planning and analyzing the needs of our customers. This has also taught me how to communicate effectively with others as I am handling different customers on a daily basis. It has also helped, as I was already familiar with handling a lot of people with different attitudes. The experience has prepared me to be able to lead by example, plan my daily tasks, be organized all the time and set myself achievable objectives. Most importantly I always learn from others and my own mistakes.

Pros: great opportunity to work with the most humble people.
Cons: unethical and improper approach when dealing with clients.

Excellent learning cuvre

I work in an open area office interaction with co-workers is always intact, we work as a team with a positive relationship with my Manager and senior manager as well. I have learned that time management, team contribution and humbleness is key. Working as a team and learning different ways of doing things from teammates it is the highlight of my work which i enjoy the most. Actually my challenging part is the work itself because I prefer a challenging Job so i can learn as much as possible and contribute positively towards achieve organisational objectives individually and collectively.

Pros: Growth opportunity
Cons: Flexible working hours
