Department of Social Development Reviews

 

Excellent working experiance

Its a very good company that render services to our communities.it gave me the opportunity to explore how is it to work with different clients with different situations.they offered us an opportunity to work with NGOs,we did profiling,mobilization and i volunteered in HR Office and switchboard. its an 8 hour working day,that is how it operates.the co-workers were good even though you dont meet the same people but you learn to accept the way people do things and the way they approach things.they thought us so much in social development. that is where i discovered what i love doing. What i really enjoyed doing was doing filing,submitting leaves and copies an also leaves how to capture information in the computer. most challenging was when you get the complaint from the client and its not attended by the specific social worker,which takes you a bit down but you end up following the case until its attended.

Pros: great job opportunity
Cons: short working hours,lot of work.

Data base management

Currently I’m an Assistant Manager (Asset letting and Disposal management)at the Department of Social Development under Supply Chain Management Unit (Asset Management), I believe in public service delivery in such a way that I feel I’m not being exposed enough. Im an assertive individual with an open creative mind yet interact very well in a diverse team of individuals. During my period at the department I’m working on I have managed to maintain a clean audit since my appointment. I’m an artist by birth, during after hours and on weekends I help struggling artists and local groups to implement community growth by hosting awareness campaigns through music workshops because some of them feel neglected whereas they have the ability to change the world by using their artistic skills on a daily basis, I feel that not much is being done to educate the youth. If only I could be granted an opportunity.

Pros: MAintained a clean audit report
Cons: able to work without supervision
