Excellent learning curve

Manning someone's diary effectively solely depends on someone or a PA who is very creative, committed, passionate and has a directive . This simply means that for a Manager or a reporting line of duty to perform effectively and efficiently, it calls for a very disciplined PA. Relationship with other team workers is also very crucial for the smooth running of the daily business and excellent production. Good supervisory or management skills are what I have learnt and am still learning each and everyday because that alone portrays the end product as to how good or bad it will be at the end of each passing day. I really enjoy doing my job because it makes me grow in knowing that should I make a mistake then that will jeorpadise the company name and its integrity. Challenging will always be there if one is committed to their work, but at the same time one should always learn new strategies to curb such challenges.

Pros: Award winning
Cons: Awkward working hour at times

Excellent learning curve

I work as a Secretary/Personal Assistant, that is very much interesting and challenging as one has to make it a point that the office runs smooth every passing day. Being responsible for someone's diary means that one has to be in sober senses at all times so that appointments do not clash, manning the office efficiently while the Manager is away, running all errands effectively. Team work is one of the utmost or the core responsibilities so as to make the work flow easy and manageable. One has to meet different people with different characters; that alone is indeed a learning curve because one has to adjust to different approaches. Daily office routine is very much enjoyable as one learns a lot of things, from different perspectives.

Pros: Award winning for commitment is what I look forward to.
Cons: Working outside normal work hours, compromising my family time.

I have improved my time management skill

Some days are more challenging than other but I have learnt to tackle each day as it comes with much positiveness in mind. I have a good relationship with my co-workers they are very supportive. I have learnt to work well within a team and good time management skills. I enjoy that sometimes I get the opportunity to interact directly with undergrads and get to know how I can improve myself. The most challenging aspect of the job is having to improvise due to the lack of equipment and chemicals at times.

Pros: I am a hardworking, dedicated, strong willed, passionate person and with these characteristics I believe I will be suitable for a promotion one day.
Cons: In my line of work I always put on extra hours to finish my work since I also doing my Master's degree. I have to manage my time as well as excel both in my work and academically. I have to meet all deadlines stipulated by my supervisors.

Dedication to work, extensive experience across industries and hence very short learning Curve

I have extensive broad based experience. A team player, and eye to develop staff. Enjoy see staff growing and achieving. Enjoy getting results and introducing tools to assist company employees. I enjoy setting tough targets. A typical work day involves meetings with key staff members to review our plans and mapping the way forward.

Pros: The environment is exciting as most systems were under developed. Exciting to leave a mark in a particular environment, and to to refer back to your works.
Cons: The environment is highly political and at time dangerous
