Learnt how to deal with different ethnic groups and their culture
I do the travel bookings (flights, accommodation and car hire) for the entire provinces' staff and seeing as they travel to out of the way places, finding accommodation isn't always easy but it just means that I have to come up with some ingenious ways of getting them places to sleep. This aspect of my job is also one of the parts that I love the most. Keeping up to the changes in both the managers' diaries has it's headaches as our Head Office changes the planes frequently and meetings has to be shifted and swopped to make sure all the meetings gets attended to. Event planning for the provinces' event including venue hire, catering, accommodation and travel arrangements to get all the attendees to the venue on time. I assist the finance department with various tasks including debtors and creditors, payments made and receipting. I am very good at figures and enjoy this part the most of all the duties that I fulfil.
Pros: Stable secure employment
Cons: No room for growth

Management of Seda does not value their staff and care little for the image of the organisation.
Seda being a government agency does not give white staff opportunities to grow. They do not see experience as important but only want qualifications. Sometime experience count for more than qualifications. I do love my job and it's very busy and no two days are the same. Each day you have more problems to sort out and angry clients to calm down. I have learnt that tolerance and patience can take you far and people will see it in the end. I do enjoy helping my colleagues reach their targets.
Pros: Working for Seda is a secure working envirnment. You know you are getting an increase each year.
Cons: There is no accountability for mistakes, no Consequences for mistakes made. There is no adherance to policies and procedures.

Interesting space for output and growth
I am at an environment where innovation and client support is at the heart of our success. we support SMME supporting institutions and NPO with funding and the management function to ensure SMMEs they support grow. To work here invokes commitment for a person who has great customer satisfaction. I have learned to assess the overall performance of centres including their governance structures. The challenging part of the job is to ensure compliance at an operational and governance level.
Pros: It is a great opportunity for innovative thinking
Cons: a lot of job and ever changing requirements from parliament

Excellent learning opportunity
A typical day at the office is basically planning for the couching session doing,research on the topics to be covered with the SMME and developing templates to assist the SMME to understand the topic and it's importance. We then do recon on the previous topic and challenges which we faced with the SMME's as a team and we try to come up with solutions. So we learn different dynamics to running different types of businesses and understand the challenges and solutions in different industries. Mostly what i enjoy is the feed back session as this is a good was for peer learning,because learning from others personal experience gives us an insight on other industries which also assist in as a moral booster.
Pros: The are no opportunities for growth
Cons: Long working hoursas the SMME's might call you in to assist them even when you are off

Excellent learning experience
I was employed as a Executive Personal Assistant / Committee Secretary to the General Manager where I played an active role by providing the following services to the Manager: Full Secretarial services, Compile the Board and Executive Committee Meetings Reports and distribute the Board Packs to the members prior to the scheduled meeting, taking the minutes of Board and Exco meetings, to ensure that all minutes of the meetings are permanently affixed /attached in the Company’s Minutes Book and duly signed by all participants at all committee meetings. I have learnt that in the working environment, you must always be open minded even if things are not favoured your situation by then but try to be open and by doing that, it will relieve your stress.
Pros: I ended getting lot of promotion by then
Cons: Working under pressure is my daily bread, so I opened from 7 am til 7pm. It is a long hours operation because I have to target people who are going to work to drop some laundry and to close late to accomodate them for collection.

Very wide range of duties and love the challenge
Doing the travel bookings for all the staff within Seda KZN is a full time job and I love the challenge of getting it all done in time. Setting up for meetings and making sure all participants receive the meeting packs before the meeting keeps me running around a bit but it is essential that they get it all. With the managers away from the office often, making sure that all relevant documents gets approved and submitted to our Head office takes a lot of coordination. The staff get along very well but like in any job there is going to be times that not everybody agrees with what is done, that is what makes life interesting.
Pros: stable secure employment
Cons: no room for growth
