Correctional Unit Manager
It is good for working correctional service because it makes you to be alert at all times because you are amongst the criminal the whole day. Yes sometimes is very hectic at work you have to start early and knock off late more especially when you are on management level. The relationship with the co-worker is excellent we working together as a team. Since I have started 15 years ago at correctional services I have learned lot of things and different cultures in the prison and I have learned more about prisoners. What I enjoy the most is going to work daily because I know that I am going to change lot of lives and make those prisoners better people when they got out of the prison, I am more involved in activities which the prisoners are doing in the prison that is what I enjoy the most. The most challenging aspects of my job is when the prisoners fight and injured each other and you are called to come and address them and listen to their complaint.
Pros: I have big opportunity for promotion at work
Cons: I am working long hours at work sometimes

Learning curve
Work that I'm currently is not challenging as I wish. Reason is that government is a service delivery to personnel. I have a good relationship with my colleagues, work hand in hand on daily basis. Since I have joined the department I have experienced and studied a lot in humans since we are doiverse. Challenge that has a big impact is employees reporting sick and fail to submit necessary documents in prior after report.
Pros: Minimum opportunity
Cons: Normal hours

I left that job in March 2016
My job interest are financial administration. I woule like to become an Accountant. I would like to sell houses or cars or work in a bank I left my job at the prison because I wanted to do something else. My dream was never to become a Correctional Officer. I just tried it out in order to do a good job and earn a good salary and to be able to study to get a higher rank No coloureds or whites R indians were allowed to be promoted in the last 17years
Pros: Working with inmates in a prison encironment was a good but stressful experience. I worked their to face my demons working with rapists & gangsters bcos I wanted to stop being afraid of them. I overcame my fear for darkness and I am no longer afraid of criminals.
Cons: You have to be strict all the time and not be afraid of inmates. You have to be able to show them that they dont scare you bcos if they can see fear in ur eyes they will take advantage of you or the situation
