Progressive Organization and a good industry to learn around

I learn a lot from my colleagues and even made friends so far. We share ideas as a team, it can be work related or personal. I learned to prioritize issues and also to be able to respond to incidents according to organization's protocols. I enjoy being in a field than to be in an office as my job requires more technical job at hand than admin or paper work The most challenging of my job is to drive around trying to reach user's end point to actually find out what they are experiencing in a situation where they are unable to describe their problem telephonically

Pros: Good environment to work at
Cons: I prefer short working hours with 100% complete job

Department of Home Affairs

On a typical day we would go out to trace, arrest and detain illegal foreigners in the republic. Open criminal dockets if they are illegal at saps. Go to court and testify and give evidence. Investigate and interview foreigners who are suspected to be illegal in the country. Assist saps with regards to investigation if a foreigner was involve in criminal activities. Plan and do operations with internal and external stakeholders. It is important that we work as a team as we worked without firearms and in an dangerous environment. It is important to trust each other. I enjoyed working in undercover operation with stakeholder where a few foreigners were arrested for Bribery on different occasions. The most challenging part is conducting your daily work and the resources is not enough and have a target to reach.

Pros: leave days. annual bonus
Cons: Working overtime and not getting paid for it.
