Gathering experience
I maintain buses,ready them for road test on a given period of time. I work with a specific type of bus make namely the Irish bus,with cursor 10 engine. They are full of technology compared to the other makes we have in the deport. It's always something new and different to learn specially on the electrical side. I work very well with people that makes it easy for me to learn and also transfer knowledge and wisdom. The team is united that makes it easy for every1 to be productive and help each other,lack of proper tools and spares makes it hard for us to produce with respect to the time interval given per bus for its major service. Also the quality of parts play a major role for the life span of the vehicle and questionable trade skills.
Pros: great apprenticeship programme
Cons: lack of opportunity for growth

Staying in the family
Arrive at the office at approximately early, as I travel from Pretoria to Soweto. Audit internal processes Review & spot check data, compile feedback for departmental heads to correct. Redesign excel files (Financial Report - long term). Liaise with Directors to provide updates / feedback on specific projects. I have built a network of colleagues whom I can contact for advice / clarification, and vice versa. Friction with executives, as we do not always agree on everything. I have learned to be more open in dealing with employees, initially I seemed closed off due to shyness. Increased confidence in dealing with senior managers & willingness to respectfully express a differing view. Difficult to manage managers, especially as they are aware that I am on the same level as they are.
Pros: Unique industry with unique set of circumstances allows one to be innovative in tackling problems
Cons: Long service senior management team & directors do not necessarily want to innovate and/or change.

Am a fast learner and able to work as a team
I love working as a team cause working, because an individual can't know all things like when you are doing break downs the is many challenges that you meet but if you are two it's easy to over come the problem cause you share the idea, The relationship with my co-workers its very good we are a family we respect one another regardless how old you are and we share the information and we help one another What I have learnt since I started mechanic is that you won't know everything so you must keep on studying and doing research cause technology is growing each and every day and the other thing that I have learnt is to be patient and that I must believe in myself all the time and that if you Dnt know you must ask I enjoy seeing the vehicle that I have worked on it does not come back with a breakdown or a defect and I enjoy getting my hands dirty for a good thing The challenging part is when you take the vehicle to a test and it fails and you know that you did everything but still it fails
Pros: This is an opportunity for Myself to change my life and to go to a new environment and get to know other people and to be at the new workshop
Cons: They Dnt want to promote
