College of Cape Town Reviews

 

I am a hard worker and a very good listener.

Working at the College has been the most challenging in terms of my career change. I deal with students and from 3 of our Campuses that offer Electrical engineering. It means I had to build relationships with some of my colleagues from these Campuses. In 6 months of my employment I got recognition of being moved from administration to Projects because of the relationship I have with my colleagues and the hard work I put in in wanting to know everything about the college. I have learnt to deal with different kinds of people even from different countries as we accept a lot of Foreign students. I enjoy helping tem and I become so happy when I produce good results out of my customer service. Some people will just come and ask for me because I go all out to ensure end results are what they were looking for. The most challenging aspect of my job is to pay attention to small details as a little mistake that you can do can cost damage to someone's career because you missed something.

Pros: Good opportunity to grow
Cons: Contract work

Good learning curve

On a day to day basis I run the office. I have a huge workload as I am the only admin lady in the office. I meet my deadline as I plan my work/duties according deadlines and would also do extra. I am a peoples person so I get along with people. I am able to work in a group or alone. Being fresh in the industry I have leant alot and always make room for improvement. Also have an open mind, I do listen to other people's ideas and opinions. I work mostly with tenders so I find it challenging when I have just received a tender that has to be submitted 2 or 3 days after I have just received it as I plan my work/duties. I like to seek advice because I believe in always learning and improvement.

Pros: Good opportunity
Cons: Long working hours

Challanging work environment, excellent learning curve

I manage a team of 17 staff members, both academic and support staff. The Hospitality Programme enrolls 300 students per semester, across NCV and Report 191.
