The Family
Smollan is an amazing company to work for, mainly because they are so family orientated. My typical day is to check on my execs diary in the morning, read and answer any emails that demand my attention. I also make sure that. The domestic workers are okay and that they have completed their morning duties. I escalate any maintenance issues, pay accounts and set up meetings. I always make my boss a cup of coffee in the morning and have a conversation about how she would like her day to go and if I should add any more meetings or cancel. Taking care of 150 staff can be challenging to say the least but everyday is different and most days I feel so proud that we have grown and come this far together. I'll keep saying that smollan is a family and it's something that you can't help but feel. Your not a number.
Pros: Experience, mentoring with senior persons or any team you would like to move into. Bee shares once a year.
Cons: No medical aid

Growth
I'm currently seeking opportunity to grow within what I had studied, which is Human Resources Management. I have experience in administration and retail as well. Working for Samsung and Eskom has really grounded me in the sense that ive learned to have a sense of urgency in everything I do, time management is key, I've come know that your passion for the work that you do shows in what has been presented and that there's is always room for growth np matter how many accomplishments one has. I feel as though I would be eligible the position as I am very passionate about human resources. It's not just about recruiting it's about helping people grow and find their passion as well and therefore plant that seed in order for them to grow as well. I look forward to your response.
Pros: great perks
Cons: working hours

Good customer service experience and a learning curve.
I am a well spoken person who enjoys working with people as i believe in not only independence, however interdependence as well, and that has made me to be able to have mutual understanding with different race, age or group. Convincing people and handling objections is one of my strong points and it always works to my advantage. My only weak point is losing and failing so i work to the best of my abilities in order to achieve my target and goals and that has groomed me to be a good, trustworthy employee that will bring integrity, competence and commitment to the company. I aspire to learn and grow in this business, hence I strive to reinvent myself and improve my short coming where it is due.
Pros: Great opportunity in adapting to a new product.
Cons: Commission structure was unstable,.
