Excellent learning curve

My KPAs include compiling Bid documents, rendering secretarial duties on various Bid committees, advertising bids on itender, tender bulletin and also on internal notice boards. I also assist the public and service providers on registering with the public sector on Logis and CSD. My job also involves interacting with Project leaders and co-workers to facilitate smooth running of Departmental projects. I assist on closing of bids as well as on evaluating recieved bids. I am proud about my problem solving abilities and my interpersonal skills. I enjoy helping service providers as it teaches me patience and diverse attitudes and personalities of the people i meet on daily basis. I learn to prioritise and multi task at the sametime. My favourite part is creating and maintaining strong and healthy working relationships.

Pros: Healthy long term relationships and opportunity for development
Cons: Increased workload and shortage of staff

Excellent

working at this department is quit nice as it gives me all the relevant training I need towards my career. however the issue of budget sometimes makes things difficult some of the trainings I can not attend due to financial constraint in the department. working here as team gives me more variety of experience and be aware on how others do things. the most challenging aspects is the one of some of the functions are centralised to head office and we can not make things so quick because we have to wait long for the head office to give us go ahead.

Pros: be treated same as permanent employees
Cons: no compensation for working over time if you are a contract worker i.e interns

My experience and new and better hopes for my future.
