Enjoyed working in the field more than the boardroom
Mornings is always inductions for new or construction workers and then planning or follow up meetings for the week.I worked in a male dominated industry but my colleagues were very supportive to my department.We all worked together to avoid and reduce any incidents that might occur.I enjoyed working with different people from different cultures with different perspective in life and works learnt a lot from everyone. Most challenging factor would be seeing fatality which would be once in a few years but still it was most disturbing to the family and employees
Pros: Saving lifes at work
Cons: Fatality at work

Great Learning Experience
As a product of the business faculty at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, I have been exposed and trained not only in the finance field but in administration, communications, business administration, computer literacy and many other skills. Over the years I have acquired knowledge and skills in, but not limited to, analytical skills, financial management skills presentation skills, facilitation skills, coordinating and managing minor projects, contract management, office administration, customer service, understanding of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, payment and invoicing or billing management. Amongst other things, I do a lot of research, have learned to pay attention to detail, exercise confidentiality, negotiate and have problem solving skills. I am very open- minded and flexible and have room to learn much more. Because of the deadline governed environment, I work well under pressure, work without supervision and am able to produce reports in the required formats.
Pros: Great learning experience
Cons: No opportunities for growth and promotion
