Understand the ways of corporate industry
Everyday you get to learn new aspects and get face a bigger challenge each day, and I acquire new strategies and implement those strategies to to overcome the challenges I'm facing. Sometimes they are much difficult but the end result is of a success. Well my colleagues are different, we sometimes do not agree on the same thing some might like a certain a idea some may not, which causes a discomfort relationship amongst each other, to deal with such issue, a group discussion is called-upon and lay down all the pros n cons and agree on a solution to resolve the issue. Team work is important, generate as ideas as possible rather than being a sole worker, and with team work there's a positive energy and productivity. I enjoy both working one and with team members as well. I've had a huge pressure, I was not fond of working under pressure, first time experience and my tasks seemed to have fallen but an assistance for a member helped me pull through and that's how I learned to work under pressure.
Pros: Working in your company will aid me in sharpening my mind on how the corporate business world is, and it will assist me in broadening skills I'm the best possible way. And, growing within your company will also, give me the courage to work even harder and acquiring a variety of expertise in the eight business function fields. Training as well, we all do not know everything and we all learn each day, there are some aspects that we will be taught in the workplace
Cons: Demanding aspects, you would find that a day you are issued a file full of workload thay is a lot. And, 9f which, takes up your whole time and sometimes having to knock off very late and have timed hours to spend with your family

Excellent great experience
the working days and hours won't convenience my life, i was super happy because all was requested from me is the most thing i value the most customers and my colleagues. building relationship and collaboration is one of the things i learnt, but most challenges is to repeat same thing every day, the technology was the greatest weakest point we were facing in my company. support was our core mission. i enjoyed working in a healthy environment. but noise students around my department was too much other than that i enjoyed being in a health and wellness department, teaches me o how to look after myself and treat people the way i would like to be treated. they developed me as intern to act professionally when i make phone calls and receiving calls from clients and i improved and it was a learning environment all my mentors where so supportive in many ways.
Pros: is to always be step ahead and have self confidence at all times, i Thakane Combi can go extra mile by start preparing myself for the best.

I am a fast learner and I take my work very seriously.
I am a food technology third year student at CPUT hoping to get my diploma certificate next year. I have been exposed to Laboratories, the Microbiology lab and an analytical chemistry lab. I have been exposed to NPD and HACCP without forgetting about the ISO9001 and ISO22000.
Pros: I am prepared to do anything that will benefit the company and boost my confidence in the industry.
Cons: I am looking to do whatever it takes to make sure that all given tasks are up to standard. Working shifts and overtime wouldn't be an issue.

Finding new methods on previous articles on how to improve our research product was abit of a challenge but a very educational one,having to employment some of the I formation found on the internet to our method to improve our research findings was challenging. Having to interact with Dr's with the different research focuses they did on their PhD degrees was an awesome experience,how they interacted with each other on a level I could never imagine was an awesome experience.
Pros: Great working environment
