My experience at City of Joburg
A typical work day is never the same. Work processes are haphazard as processes are not fully streamlined. Working with politicians come with major pressure and can be challenging as one has to deal with groups with competing expectations. My relationship with co-workers was cordial as I always try to maintain a professional distance. I learnt to deal with different personalities and it has enhanced my overall work experience as I now have experience having worked in the Private and the Public sector. I believe that I am a seasoned and well rounded Company secretary as politicians often display their ego which one must often deal with . I enjoy working with By-Law implementation and anything to do with procedures and Compliance related issues. The most challenging aspect of my job, is Public engagement as we get to deal directly with the Public whenever we need to consult the Public on issues which are topical or emotive at a particular time.
Pros: Great opportunity for studying and self-development
Cons: Upward mobility is difficult, given that it is a Political environment

The emergency service
i would report to shift at 6:45. shift lasts 12 hours so from 7-7. sometimes we would work overtime. we attend emergency calls all day handing over patients to hospitals and performing medical examinations enroute. there is no specific lunch time so you eat when you can. uniform and equipment must be bought by you. Posts come out now and then but are not guaranteed if you volunteer. i have learnt a lot of efficient ways to do things but also pick up bad habits. it is great to market yourself but difficult to move up in the country.
Pros: great to market oneself
Cons: long unpredictable hours
