It was a good learning curve for me.

It was a good working environment for me as I have learned as much as I can as a admin clerk intern. I know I will be a valuable person in any company that will hire me. I was also having a good relationship with the NPO section since I spent most of my time helping them with Claim form&filling.working hours were fine. The most challenging thing was chasing deadlines especially when is December time.

Pros: The was promises for being hired.
Cons: Working hours were OK for me.

Satisfactory

I am young and acitve i alwayd ask where i dont understand ilke to work with team but i can manage to work individually when the duty calls. I have learnt a lot from my co workers firstly i learn that inoder to work differently you have to love your job and respect others in the organisations whether its your bosses or colleagrs and secondly if you are working with people you need to be presentable and have integrity. The challenged i faves is that there is alot of pressure to deal with other childrend and when its hard to throgh with other clients those are the most demanding aspects in our organisation. For me at at work its be a pleasure to help others get through with their peoblems and i also manage to work under stress with no bad influence in the organisation.

Pros: Great opportunity for promotions
Cons: regulor working hours

Great learning curve

We would go out to the very poorest townships in Gauteng and do house to house profiling, at some houses you would find community members that are unstable and sick have nothing to eat and you as an employee should come up with a way that can help them. We worked eight hours sometimes we would be asked to come assist on weekends with disaster management. We worked in groups or pairs to look-out for one another as some of the townships were dangerous, my greatest enjoyment about my job was to see people being help by us like putting the food on their table. The most challenging part about the job would be the weather forecast it will make our work very difficult to work under those rainy conditions n windy streets.

Pros: opportunity to grow within
Cons: unpayable overtime
