A great learning experience
Working as an industry analyst in one of Africa's largest Development Finance Institution has given much needed exposure and experience in my field as an economist. A highly meritocratic environment, the IDC pushes employees to be high achievers, something that is both beneficial to the employee as well as the Corporation. I have gained an incredible work ethic and learnt to push boundaries in the work place. I enjoy the great corporate culture and the exposure to other key stakeholders working towards the achievement of common goals. Trues as this may be, albeit surmountable ,challenges in my work remain. One of the challenges is keeping afloat the often long and onerous processes of correcting the Corporation's strategic direction.
Pros: an awesome corporate culture that is supportive of one's career improvement through training and further studies
Cons: a lack of industry specialisation

My work day at the IDC
I work for the IDC which is a Development Finance Institution. I am an Office Administrator, which in this case means, I handle all Secretarial / Administrative / Support functions in the office. I look after housekeeping, health and safety, maintain a pleasant working area. I manage the pool car and all SAP related issues. In this office we are only 7 people and form a close bond with each other. We assist each other where we can and will perform tasks for each other in order to lighten workloads. I have learned that both teamwork and working on your own plays a very important roll in a company and can add value. The most challenging aspect of my position is that I sometimes have to rely on my Head Office colleagues to assist with certain things and I have to rely on technology to do that.
Pros: Organisational skills are extremely important in this position and that is something that comes naturally with me as I am a very organised person.
Cons: I currently do not have any scope for a promotion as I do not have a tertiary qualification.
