Excellent learning curve

I would love the opportunity to work in a new environment and learn more, I love working with a positive team and I'm eager to learn. My task on a normal day is to send out letters to creditors and debtors that have out standing balances and notify them of the fruitful and wasteful expenditure they have incurred, at times it challenging to explain to employees that they have exceeded the telephone bill and will therefore have to payit back to the department. It's challenging as people tend to get frustrated and question you, I have to try by all means not to take anything personally and always try stay positive in the situation. Mt relationship with co-workers is professional and we make our work space the best space as that's where we spend most of our day. Iv learnt a lot from being an accounting clerk and the different sectors, I enjoyed being in a space with a positive team that push and encourage teaching new sections as soon as you have mastered the current one.

Pros: Good working environment
Cons: Opportunity for promotion is low

Challenging and rewarding at some points.

Challenging and rewarding at some points. A typical work day at social development is non stop meetings about another meeting with no work really being done . When it does come to getting the work done pulling rank always comes to play . It is a hassel to do your daily job or to even implement anything .

Pros: Assisting society with the social ills plaguing the country
Cons: No recognition from management for your efforts /
