Excellent learning curve
A typical day at my office included preparing reports, drawings and reviewing data. My most favourite was preparing drawings using Caddie - Geometric Designs. Ill get to send these to my supervisor for checking than they will be sent to Head Office in Pretoria for final viewing and recommendations. Our Hydrology team in Durban was made up of 8 people the rest was in the Midmar Dam office but monthly we would meet up to discuss maintanance, job cards to be done and prepared and data to be reviewed. What I learnt more is to love and work with different characters, as this was my 1st job from Tertiary..learnt to care what some else thinks and have good listening skills. Plan well and work well in a team as we needed to travel to site and perform duties. The most challenging aspects was to Processing some of the data as it wont be withdrawn properly or if there arw gaps in the data, instruments not working or if there is no flow in the rivers due to drought. Thank you
Pros: great opportunity to discover yourself
Cons: focused on limited aspects of Civil Engineering

HR Officer .
responsibilities include recruitment, payroll, training, induction, sickness and absence tracking, disciplinary and grievance procedures, redundancy settlements, equal opportunities and establishing staff support systems.
Pros: Human resource professionals interact with people, though the degree of interaction may vary. However, human resource professionals enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that their work directly affects people in a beneficial way. Human resource professionals are keen to help employees find their way through difficult problems.
Cons: Here in human resources, instead of reporters or fans, you have deal with unsatisfied employees. In human resources, you have to provide services which are taken for granted by employees. It is a thankless job. If something goes wrong, for example if the workers don't get their salary, there are reimbursement issues or new employees are being educated or trained in an improper manner, then you have to deal with too many disappointed people.

Water Use Licensing Applications and Environmental Impact Assessment an Plans
I was responsible for Water Use Licensing application and offering technical imputs on the Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management Plams submitted to the department by different companies and stakeholders whom had an interest in applying for water use authorisation. The communication with stakeholders and the site visit and inspection as to wether the proposed place is legit for the said application, the ensuring of compliance with the general legislation and Act that govern our natural resources were the most enjoyable experience in the field. I am well organised,goal oriented and self motivated person who works very much well as a team player and can work alone if there's a need.
Pros: My work abilities and commitment often determines my future aspiration and stability within the company I am employed at.
Cons: I am able and available to can work to my best ability and ensure that whatever I am assigned to do is done to detail even if it takes working overtime.
