A good way of learning about people and new skills.
I am an energetic person who is for people and forever ready to face a challenge .On my day to day work i help user with any problems they are facing on a computer no matter is internet based or the setting up of the computer to make sure that the user can do their jobs.I have a good relationship as i am for people ,i make sure that they get the help they need within shot time for ever looking forward to go interact with users.I have learned that everyone is unique and the treatment wont be the same as long as we can find a common ground so that we can work together and that doing what you love will make you more productive than ever.Helping people makes me feel good and happy that i can also contribute in making a success of the organisation.Having to deal with the user that doesn't understand that you are also doing your job and you work with priorities to get everything done.They have to understand that they cant just expect you to attend them immediately unless you dont have anything to do.
Pros: There is a great opportunity for growth and promotions
Cons: User that dont understand

Its more like a learning institution
working at Mintek is more like a learning road to be more responsible in your duties, workload in terms of being a leader and a team player at the same time. working with diverse people, cultures and traditions is the most beautiful aspect of the company that I'm working for I enjoy (and travelling). as individuals we have personal preferences in the work space, in terms of who to be friends with and so forth, but what I like about my co-workers is that we work hard and mean business to create a healthy environment for ourselves. the most challenging aspect is looking for funds for our beneficiaries, working onsite without seeing your family for about a month or so, incubating our beneficiaries especially those that stays in rural areas far from us and also when it come to manufacturing products in big quantities.
Pros: opportunity to go back to school
Cons: bonuses are conditional

Basically you acquire project management skills and report writing writing skills as you need to report back to management quarterly and present your progress and challenges faced.
