Good communication skills
I completed Matric on 2011 at Pakamani S.S.S . I went to Walter Sisulu University to study National Diploma in Internal Auditing. I obtained this qualification in 2015. From 2015 to 2016 I was intern in Finance department at Walter Sisulu University. My duties included to capture invoices, transfer money to accounts of creditors, reconcile and filing. What I enjoyed there is that I was trained to use system. The work environment allowed me to apply what I learned in class room in real situations. There was a good communication between staff members . I was treated as a staff member not a trainee.
Pros: I had opportunity to apply my theory from learning to work environment
Cons: No sick leave
