Statistics South Africa is an organisation is a suitable place to kick start one's career in the field of statistics. new employees get an opportunity to learn about data collection techniques, data analysis and data dissemination. The management is supportive towards the development of new employees, indeed this was the best place to start my career. The work flows and the team work was amazing. Management was good. Co-workers were amazing there was a lot of team work. As part of my internship with Statistics South Africa is an excellent learning opportunity and I developed my skills and experience in numerous different ways. I have learned that the real world is much different from what you learn in the classroom, that some things you learn are similar to what you were taught, but that for the most part learning is achieved through the process of doing. In the world of Statistics things happen at a fast pace, and you must take everything one day at a time while still keeping an eye on the future.
Pros: Great benefits and competitive pay
Cons: Too much to learn in very limited time

Adding value to the organisation and deliver as expected.
I am always ready for any working condition/mode, I can overcome any challenges even that are unexpected. My co-workers work freely with me, I am easily approachable because I always give good advices in a professional manner. I have learnt that respect comes in two ways (give and get), treating each and every employee equally and not making friends at work. I always ask for clarity and advice where I do not understand. I enjoy working in a quiet environment because I am more productive that in a busy and noisy area. I enjoy working in a team because sharing ideas makes a good team work. The most challenging aspects of the job is when I have to deal with a difficult client or customer, I calm my self in this kind of situation and stick to the rules and procedures of the company and ask for advice or intervention of the superiors if I am overpowered.
Pros: I like to apply the knowledge and skills that I have gained so far and add value to the respective organisation.
Cons: I like to have time to spend with my family if there is a need to work longer hours than stipulated , I would like such to be communicated in advance to make arrangements to avoid conflict and get job done.
