A day in my life
I work as self employed. I train at Companies like Sanlam and found it great as i get ti know new people every day. I have to be acredited by Service andcMict Seta . i train computers at Creative Minds and i love it becausec i have to keep my Microsoft skills up to date. I compile training manuals and use the unit standards to guide me. I work great with the CEO's and managers and they know that im always just a phone call away for guidance. The best if my work is when i do coaching and i can see and feel that i have made a difference.
Pros: I work self employed. This gives me the opportunity to present training at different companies. This has given me the opportunity to learn from different organizations and to have accreditation at more than one SETA.
Cons: I work quite long hours and have to promote myself everytime from the start at each company

No growth opportunities
No growth opportunities even if you qualify yourself in the indutry you will remain in sales. Which is sad as it is demotivating. Nice people and atmosphere but this is a very independent job.
Pros: Studies
Cons: No growth opportunities

Each day is a new opportunity to learn something new, improve on delivering, better service
Work day for me starts by first having a quick interaction with my colleagues over a cup of coffee, just to catch up. Then its up to capturing & processing payments, reconciling the investment account daily, reporting if any to be done, bank recons and monthly General ledger reconciliations. I consider myself to be a team player, always will to assist and help others where needed. I have learnt a lot about pension/provident funds over the years, as I have worked in administration departments as well is in the accounting department. I enjoy working with numbers. Having to assist the senior accountant with his audits from time to time is challenging for me but a new learning experience
Pros: central & great working enviroment
Cons: Not really an opportunity for promotion

Fast and competent learner
I deal with paying outs of pension and provident funds. I communicate with clients on a daily basis, handling queries. we have a team based environment and we have to work well together to make sure that we all meet targets for the month. My communication skills have improvement and i have learnt how to work under pressure. It gives me joy when i have finalized a claim without any hassle. The best part about my job is that you learn something new almost everyday. The challenging aspect includes when Funds are liquidating and one has to explain to clients the process it takes before they can be paid out. It is challenging because these involve sections of the Pension Funds act that most people do not understand and clients start to think that we are just withhold their funds.
Pros: Great environment to work in
Cons: sometimes we have to put in long hours
