Opportunity to broaden insights
A typical day, would start of by giving all the ladies hugs and greeting the entire team, Checking emails and task list to ensure I am updated then it’s refreshing daily reports and looking for any abnormalities. If there are any, I make commentary and follow up on the reasons that could cause the problems. Our team is a dynamic team mixed with both young and old, relationships varies from person to person. The best part about my job is dealing with complex problems that help business make better decisions The biggest thing I’ve earned from personal point is to be more patient and be able to listen carefully to understand rather than just to respond. The most challenging part of the Job is where you have to deal with senior stakeholders that put unreasonable pressure on staff members so they can get results but meeting their expectations is also very rewarding
Pros: Greater exposure
Cons: Unreasonable demands

I am a young and courageous woman who sees opportunities, My experience started in high school where I was exposed to vacation work. I worked as a waitress at The Bottling Co. for My journey then continued and I was part of the Standard Bank where I started off in General Banking, what a pleasure as I identified and learned the banks products, the processes and the different queries that customers request. I love working in teams and take initiative in all tasks given. I'm always planning the social events and make people feel special on their birthdays. i have come to learn that customers matter in any business and they should taken care of. I enjoy writing and planning.The most challenging aspects of the job is dealing with irate customers and we unable to resolve their query first call
Pros: opportunity for growth

I have learned to adapt to change quite quickly and deliver milestones at quite a fast and effective manner. Since I started working for Standard Bank ,I have gained a lot of experience and training. I have advanced from a Project Administrator, to a Subject Matter Expert in Contract Analysis and Compliance Management. I enjoy analysis as well as the legal and financial part of contracts. The biggest challenge is managing resources.
