Summary

I received my first work experience in 2002, where I was trained as an Administration Officer. I had to utilize my communication skill well on this job as I had to inform the manager about everything I had done and what I learned in that week. I also applied my time management skills in terms of submitting invoices and necessary documents required and in time, the skills and knowledge I had obtained from my tertiary education helped with the business plan of the company as it was developing. Yes I can proudly say that I helped develop JZB Packaging. My 2nd job was at the hotel industry where I learnt a lot about handling clients as I was their night auditor and also doing the receptionist’s duties at night. My people management skills were sharpened by this job and also numerical skills were required in this job. My 3rd job contributed a lot in my problem solving skills where I was a systems administrator in Mattress King Factory. There I was required to stock manage using a system and also do stock counting monthly. My 4th job it’s where I began to master the financial administrative field and also plan and organize my tasks for the week by prioritizing.

I am a quick learner and put a lot of effort into my work. I aggressively get the job done and am willing to use any growth potential that the organization has as I am ambitious. I value work ethics very highly and I’m a go getter in life. Concerning my staff I want a team work into achieving goals with everybody’s contribution
