PERSONAL PROFILE
I am completely fluent in speaking the South-Sotho (Indigenous Language for the Freestate), English and Afrikaans Languages and have the ability to communicate and build trust between individuals within a multi-cultural setting.
I am a hard working person that will never say no to a challenge.
I am prepared to learn as much as possible to become the best in what I do.
I have great passion in my work as in everything I do.
I am very honest and reliable and show great initiative in my work, and can work without supervision and motivation.
I love being challenged and if I do not know how to do something, I will ensure that I find out.
As I see every new challenge as additional experience to enhance myself, I do not believe that anything is too big or too small for me to handle.
I have a strong personality, but I am also flexible when required.
I am very competitive and have a high energy level.
I am skilled in working in multi-cultural environments and expatriate capacities, and have proven ability to utilize, or curtail, the individual and group strengths and weaknesses prevalent under such conditions.
I am a firm believer in the provision of service excellence and continuous standard improvements, and have succeeded in accomplishing these whilst maintaining high levels of group interaction as part of a participative management style, even in highly unionized environments.
I am extremely professional and meticulous about my business affairs, and take great pride in my work and appearance at all times.
I am a go-getter who loves interacting with people at various levels and being part of a winning team.
Further more. I need constant stimulation in the workplace and cannot sit and do nothing.
