Fast learner
I always strive to meet my deadlines, get along with my co-workers very easily sharing ideas and I have learnt that making our clients which is our suppliers happy all the time is the best feeling ever they always want to be assisted by you because you put them first. the most challenging aspects of my job is when I fail to pay my suppliers on time we lose their trust and we also lose discount for suppliers who give us discount when we pay on time. always making sure that my personal life doesn't interfere with my work.
Pros: great opportunities
Cons: long working hours

Learning and Growth
I manage cost accountants and also responsible for training and mentoring trainees and supervise debtors manager. I go beyond the number and reporting and I have passion for operations and interaction wit people who make the bottom line. My infectious personality and love for continuous improvement and learning sets me aside from most candidates. I am a charismatic extrovert that loves analysing and asking questions. I've become the go to person when you need work done speedily and accurately. In the past 4 years in my current role I have learnt to drive the company and its vision. I enjoy this fast paced environment that has taught me to process information speedily and look beyond the values. Dealing with headstrong colleagues who have vast experience can be challenging since they're more resistant to change but the amount of knowledge sharing is enormous.
Pros: Fast paced challenging environment constantly pushing optimum productivity
Cons: Opportunity for growth are very limited

Every day a new challenge
Site based majority of time. PMO very immature regarding scheduling and best practises regarding planning. Due to the nature of the power generation segment long hours, breakdowns adds a lot of pressure. One has learnt to 3 point cross referncing regarding progress on plant and feedback from supervisors as its a norm for the site personnel not to disclose reality regarding project status. I enjoy workiong with all sorts of people ranging from the super extroverts and the tough introverts
Pros: A lot of flexibility
Cons: Awkward hours for work
