I have learned a lot, customer services, discipline, computer skills, certificates.
My day starts at 7H45 until 17H00, client orientated. I am Flexible, handling customers telephonically and physically. I have a good working relationship with my colleagues and we understand each other, there are low days where one is not feeling well and high days where we enjoy the company and are related because we can ask each other anything and will get correct answers or responses. I have learned to be a responsible person, positive and welcoming. With the good communication skills i am able to express my self positively. It is most challenging when clients do not understand our procedures as we have deadlines to meet, but i do my best to explain the process and what is needed / required.
Pros: I am doing my job for the love of assisting the community and for good service rendering. If promotion comes my way, then it is a bonus.
Cons: It is not that bad as i always have something to do, which keep me busy and i don't feel the time.
