Prrfect for this position

I am immediately available senior debtors controller. My passion is debtors and works best under pressure. I am a team leader who loves working with people and motivate new and young ones coming into this choice of carrier. Custoner cerrvice is a priority to me. I was responsible for 15% of my previous employers monthly income with an outstanding book of 0.14% on 120mil. I have learnt to always be available to assist. Co-workers or customers. Im a perfectionist at hart in everything I do. If the team sees what you do and how you do things and also how you react to situations, they will follow your example. And that I strive to do. Strong leader, stronger team!!!! U are only as strong as your team.

Pros: Combining two of the things that is my passion. Working with people and doing debtors.
Cons: It does have it share of pressure

Time management, attention to details and accuracy.

Work for this company is one of the best I ever did in my world of working, however it has come to the point that I have over stayed my welcome an I need to move else where. The relation with my co workers is the best of them all because we help each other and work together as a team. In the years that I have been here I have learnt so much like construction and building supplies, retails, warehouses, cement and so forth. One thing I enjoy the most is that this company is multi cultural and non racial. And the most challenging aspects about my job is to deal with highly irate customer and issues at the depot regarding a shortage of stock.

Pros: Great opportunity for engineering graduates.
Cons: 8 hours

Excellent learning curve

Over the past years with Lafarge not only did I grow my career as a chemist but I have also extended my knowledge and skill in concrete. Working for a cement company also made me love concrete and this has gained me knowledge in construction material testing, concrete mix design for ready mix plant and aggregate analysis for suitability in concrete, This is because my day to day mostly involves registering the submitted sample doing chemical analysis and technical report writing in which this include part of civil material testing thus i have learned how to do civil testing so that I complete the technical report without waiting for the results from other departments.

Pros: great opportunity to research
Cons: Less opportunity to grow

Terrible

There are no systems in place. Most of the learning has been self learning for myself. Trust levels are very low. There is a culture of finger pointing.

Pros: Pay is ok.
Cons: No existing development system in place.
