Prrfect for this position

I am immediately available senior debtors controller. My passion is debtors and works best under pressure. I am a team leader who loves working with people and motivate new and young ones coming into this choice of carrier. Custoner cerrvice is a priority to me. I was responsible for 15% of my previous employers monthly income with an outstanding book of 0.14% on 120mil. I have learnt to always be available to assist. Co-workers or customers. Im a perfectionist at hart in everything I do. If the team sees what you do and how you do things and also how you react to situations, they will follow your example. And that I strive to do. Strong leader, stronger team!!!! U are only as strong as your team.

Pros: Combining two of the things that is my passion. Working with people and doing debtors.
Cons: It does have it share of pressure

Time management, attention to details and accuracy.

Work for this company is one of the best I ever did in my world of working, however it has come to the point that I have over stayed my welcome an I need to move else where. The relation with my co workers is the best of them all because we help each other and work together as a team. In the years that I have been here I have learnt so much like construction and building supplies, retails, warehouses, cement and so forth. One thing I enjoy the most is that this company is multi cultural and non racial. And the most challenging aspects about my job is to deal with highly irate customer and issues at the depot regarding a shortage of stock.

Pros: Great opportunity for engineering graduates.
Cons: 8 hours

Best experience gained

I allow people too come up with ideas in my department and I support and direct where necessary. I am the type of a leader who enjoys when people become innovative and creative. In this company I have learnt to deal with people and with difficult situations, for an example, situations where our product does not perform well and I and my team had to put in extra hours to ensure that this is corrected. To liaise with production and at the same time sustain that positivity in people, I had to encourage them so that they do not panic, become demotivated or discouraged.

Pros: Great team leadership skills and going extra mile.
Cons: Negative environment
