Opportunity to learn

Working at the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has taught me the meaning of team work..It has taught me to be creative,year after year I am responsible for celebrating all calender events therefore these events need to be filled with creativity in order for employees to enjoy them. I enjoy making a difference and having to transform people's lives especially persons with disabilities. The most challenging part of the job is having to juggle all my programmes and those from our Head office but through hard work and perseverance I always manage to achieve them.

Pros: Perfect opportunity for growth
Cons: Driving extremely long distances

Good agricultural practice.

Its always a nice environment to be in agriculture. Always learning new agricultural practice within the farmers working with. On day to day farm visit thats where the farmers needs are identified come up with resolutions not as an individual but as an office because team spirit is what the office encourage. The most challenge that really problematic is mostly in the CPA farms. Fighting and disrespect each other lead to farm not productive. The office arrange capacity building trainings to the CPA truly 75% of such trainings has brought about change in some CPA. Its always nice to work in the field of agriculture.

Pros: None
Cons: 8 hours

I have a proactive management style with highly developed communication skills. I have frequently been required to manage a team under pressure and enable them to meet strict deadlines.
