Excellent Learning Curve
I work in the tertiary education environment, my clients are grade 9 to 12 leaners, life orientation teachers and principals and also academic and admin staff. I work in the tertiary education environment, my clients are grade 9 to 12 leaners, life orientation teachers and principals and also academic and admin staff. A big challenge is dealing with peoples perceived egos as the academic staff tend to think less of the admin staff and the University makes a clear distinction between the two groups as well.
Pros: Working with a variety of target audiences
Cons: No promotion oppertunity

It was a very strong but smart learning curve.
Its an organisation where I had to face different challenges from different people on a daily basis, because I had to research and learn about different things I was facing on my daily basis. I have a very good working relationship with my co-workers and the management on the higher level although I am no longer working there, because of my hardworking skills and positive spirit to learn something new. The knowledge I have gained is has been useful to a point that I am able to use it on my "personal capacity" [on my own internet cafe]. The most important thing I enjoyed is that I encountered a lot of problems and I had to troubleshoot without any knowledge of what might be the actually result to come and then I had to learn them to improve my skills. The most challenging aspect was that technicians were logged too many calls that was expected to be done in a certain time given but unfortunately some of them were not actually not done on time but were done eventually so.
Pros: Its a great opportunity to work in such a big organisation
Cons: Different challenges on a daily basis

GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN
on a typical day, I work for specific hours. I prepare practical stations, run a practical session on my own and also do some assesment to test whether the students understood the content that was covered in the practical session. I have a good working relationship with my co-workers. When there is anything I need help with, I do ask for help. I have learnt hhow to work with different individuals with different personalities. There is not much of a challenge with my job except that it keeps one on their toes and very busy. I enjoyed teaching students and helping them understand different contents of their scholl work, seeing them progress to the next levels from my efforts was a delight.
Pros: Perfect opportunity for growth and interpersonal skills development
Cons: Contract, not well defined work schedule
