Maintained confidentiality
Department of social development is a typical government department with the normal working known working hours, 07H30 - 16H00, it offers great salary packages but limited career opportunities. I have a very friendly working relationship with my co-workers, socially. I have learnt to be more dependent, excel in maintaining confidentiality. I have the most amazing supervisor/manager who have taught me a lot in the government sector including respecting each other, problem solving etc. The most challenging aspects of my job is that one tends to work under pressure in most cases. Need to be very vigilant, pay attention to detail which assisted me in being accurate.
Pros: Great benefits
Cons: Long working hours without compensation

Excellent learning curve
I would love the opportunity to work in a new environment and learn more, I love working with a positive team and I'm eager to learn. My task on a normal day is to send out letters to creditors and debtors that have out standing balances and notify them of the fruitful and wasteful expenditure they have incurred, at times it challenging to explain to employees that they have exceeded the telephone bill and will therefore have to payit back to the department. It's challenging as people tend to get frustrated and question you, I have to try by all means not to take anything personally and always try stay positive in the situation. Mt relationship with co-workers is professional and we make our work space the best space as that's where we spend most of our day. Iv learnt a lot from being an accounting clerk and the different sectors, I enjoyed being in a space with a positive team that push and encourage teaching new sections as soon as you have mastered the current one.
Pros: Good working environment
Cons: Opportunity for promotion is low
