A typical work day
- A typical work day for me is effectively a Jack of All Trades in the Credit Risk Management space at the moment. After proposing to discard my job desription and focus on strategy and analytics i've seen a difference - Your relationship with co-workers-Not so great, I only liaise properly with my boss - What you have learnt-A degre or qualification does not determine your competency but it sets your salary - What you enjoy most-Analysing data, strategising, Resolving daily quiries - The most challenging aspects of the job-Time Management
Pros: the freedom to choose what you believe you are strong at and being allowed to do exactly that
Cons: Salary gaugers depend on years of work, qualifications, instead of competences

Excellent starting point of the career
Patience and calmness are the most indirectly taught virtues in this line of work because you face different kinds of customers everyday and you have to able to deal with each and every customer's query, also a listening skill is very important so you can be able to know exactly what a customer needs. Working in a team was the one of the things I enjoyed the most because I had a good relationship with my co-workers. The most challenging aspects of the job is being shortstaffed especially on the busiest days of the months, it is exhausting to work overtime you can easily make mistakes with the cash you handling.
Pros: Great opportunity for growing students in business
Cons: Long working hours and working even on weekends

Great challenge
working for standard bank IT is a challenge a typical day is 12 hours of work i have to put in on most days but my co-workers make it easy because we tend help where help is needed, and i have come to learn that its not about money but doing what you love and love what you do and that you have to treat employees as family because you spend most your day with them, so i enjoy working with a lot of different people. The most challenging part of my job is fixing a system when ever its broken.
Pros: Great Opportunities.
Cons: Long Hours that are worked.

My Experience in the Banking Sector
I work from 7:30am till 4:00pm Monday to Friday I work with Attorneys, Branch Network and Business Suites (sending out instructions for the Registration and Cancellation of Bonds documents) I have a family here at Standard Bank, that's how I see my colleagues, we work well together. Over the 7 years i have learnt a lot about the Business/Banking Environment: Customer first, the importance of time management, loyalty, integrity, communication and always giving feedback to our customers, doing things right the first time (Accuracy) and loving what you do (enjoying my work) I have the fact that my job keeps me on my toes and that i learn something new everyday. Meeting turn around times and making sure that the customer is happy is the toughest challenge but it is done as expected and more.
Pros: Moving around the department and learn so many other duties in Collateral.
Cons: Working during my lunch breaks and Saturdays to meet turn times and complete all my duties in time.

Payments Analyst
Standard bank is great place to work for , you work with different dynamics of people from different areas of the business particularly in my area which cut across different business areas in the bank. I have a relationship with my coworkers they are very supportive, encouraging, we are very open to each other. I have learned a great deal in the payments environment, how payments system operates in the banking sector in south africa. The most enjoyable part of my work is interaction between different stakeholders (internal stakeholders and external stakeholders from other banks and other industry role players)The culture, the people make it a great place to work for. One of the challenging part is Handling of industry queries( bank system error's, customers queries)ensuring that these are resolved within a time line giving and without the interruption of banking systems. .
Pros: There is opportunity for promotions one needs to perform up well and up to his optimum level
Cons: There are instance were one will be required to work for long hours

It was an excellent learning curve while it lasted
My typical workday was when I was asked to do the reports by myself when it was said it was going to be a team thing My relationship with co-workers was excellent as we all engaged in most things I have learnt that you do not need to be alone to be excellent sometimes working in teams is the best I enjoyed getting recognition on my achievements I did not really have challenging aspects of the job because we were working in teams in my branch
Pros: Working in teams
Cons: Opportunities for promotion
