Excellent Learning curve
-I am currently placed in Limpopo Polokwane at Imperial Cold Logistics, for 3 months for practical training. -I reported in on the 15/08/2016 under my mentor at the cash office. -Each and every morning, there are invoices that are brought in so that can be put in sequence than for scanning and capturing. -And than there is information that I learnt of what a cash officer does everyday, so far I have learnt about how the petty cash money is used for and how should the daily flow of money recorded in different documents. -when the lady from reception is not available, I take calls and massages, transfer the calls on her behalf. -what I enjoy more everyday about my work is learning from my mentor especially new things, she is very patient and gets into detail about everything that she teaches me. -The most challenging thing about being in the cash office is working with money, because at the end of the day, the money that flows in and out should be able to be balanced.
Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: Good Learning working hours

As a procurement professional its always nice to learn new trends in the market
Its interesting to work in my company there is never a dull moment. I'm always busy which help to keep me away from trouble. A typical day starts with checking email for any emergencies, follow up on outstanding things, close off request which were outstanding from the previous day, and start with new requests for the day.

Being able to see the Service of the dredger being on time and getting out of the dock without delays
