Department of Home Affairs Reviews

 

Excellent learning curve

I have studied Anti Corruption and commercial Crime Investigation and the current job is giving me the needed experience in investigation as my duties include investigating fraudulent ID documents, birth certificates and visas, Asylum, Refugee permits and other documents such as permanent residence. My duties also include tracing, arresting and deporting foreign nationals. The most advantage in my work is networking and forming relationship with other law enforcement agencies such as Police, Prosecutors and magistrates. I also find it fascinating having to formulate charges and prosecute people who are in contravention with the Immigration Act and lead evidence in a court of law to secure conviction. The most challenging aspect of my work is to confront and arrest dangerous suspects and receiving life threatening threats at times.

Pros: Great opportunity of gaining experience and becoming and expect.
Cons: Unpredictable working environment

I have an ability to maintain high level of professionalism, communicate with all levels of management and staff and am looking for position that is more challenging, that will require all my knowledge, skills and abilities hence I applied for this position.

General working conditions

Working both under the roof and out in the open cold or heat, very normal and abnormal conditions, including travelling. Usually working with colleagues and prioritising the departmental meeds while maintaining good working relationships at all times. I learnt how to transport and escort classified documents and important stakeholders. I enjoyed most, the work relations amongst the team and achieving good results. One of the most challenging aspects of my work was choosing between known and familiar persons and my work, nonetheless my work came first.

Pros: Not easy to get promotions within the department
Cons: Very good working hours

Excellent learning curve and enhancement of financial and professional skills.

great opportunity for exposure in to the work environment because you get to deal with different group dynamics and challenges relating to finance . during the audits is the most challenging time because of the size of the department, but it taught me how to handle pressure and how to deal with difficult people in difficult situations.

Pros: great opportunity for introduction in to the work enviroment because of the diversity.
Cons: limited growth opportunities
