Great opportunity to start my career

On a day to day submission and reports are to be done consult in different divisions within the Department. There is a good interaction with colleagues and management. I learnt a lot on change management methodologies, transformation and induction. Getting good feedback from my manager and making progress. It was a bit of a challeng to implement change strategies in a unionised environment, it would take more than the time set to implement a project.

Pros: It was a great opportunity to learn
Cons: Internal conflict and problems with taking responsibilities
