Good stepping stone.

Working at Ethekwini Municipality was a great learning curve, gave me an exposure to a working environment. We had a flexible of 8 working hours a day and as I was a trainee, I had a very good relationship with my co-workers,I had a mentor who was guiding me with my daily work,gave tasks for each and evryday to fullfill.i have learnt so many thing s from this organization,from the dress code,how to facilitate meetings,how to behave at work the list is endless also got an opportunity to branch my career path to become a Software Tester. Also had a reporting structure which was aligned as follows: Mentor, she reports to the Senior Manager and SM reports to our Deputy Head from there to the Head of the Department.What i enjoy the most was to do a task which i had no idea of but I had to do the research to learn of find more info about that particular task while doing wat is needed from me at the same time "Learning on the job".

Pros: Flexible working environment
Cons: Many projects

II gained a wealth of knowledge

Working at this organisation is not very conducive in the sense that one there is no room for growth. the top levels are very heavy and there's not many positions or middle management. Unfortunately, due to internal politics my development in this organisation is stifled. My typical work day is full of interactions with management, staff, clinic committee, community health workers, community health facilitators, doctors, pharmaceutical staff, environmental staff, social development. I have an excellent relationship with co workers and seniors including subordinates. I have learnt a lot over the years and I love sharing my knowledge and skills to other employees. the most challenging aspect of the job is communicating with line management and obtaining resources to enable the department to function optimally.

Pros: great school to learn from
Cons: no growth

Ambitions and willing to learn kind of a person

i'm currently working under for payroll department . we are doing payroll for Treasury cluster and supply chain management . i have 6 staff under my supervision with i look after and i have trained six of them . we have become a good team over the years i have learn to work with different kind of people and i understand the diversity on how to deal with people from irreverent culture and always be professionalism. i have enjoyed working with payroll and i have been in so many challenges that comes with being in payroll in terms of dealing with difficult customers and unions in resolving staff issues. in Payroll we are deadline oriented and with are guided by policy and standard procedure which i relate it to. i believe i can be an asset into your company or organisation .

Pros: Innovation and opportunity to learn
Cons: i can be flexible in terms of the shift.

I have learnt that seeking assistance always help

I come earlier than working time because the supervisors in my section mostly request for me to do customer's accounts reconciliation though its not in my duties but i like to learn more so they also ask of me to consolidate their reports from the stuff members and review it using RMS, VALUE ASSIST AND COINS where I'll also update or add any missing information on the given data. I do all this using excell and Outlook. The most challenging part of this work is when i have to use the municipal procedures following the principles to collect debts from the deceased estate properties because usually clients will respond in a very inhuman manor.

Pros: In my position we do not have any kind of promotion but if there was any, i would earn it and not fight for it because we usually loose work values and objectives when chasing promotions.
Cons: I don't mind working longer hours because we usually say all good things before getting a job but end up not doing what was said in the interview or CV, so just do exactly what say i can and will. In short i always put my work first.
