Key Achievements
Working for the past 30 years, I have gained knowledge, expertise and wisdom.
●Perseverance: (it always seems impossible, until it is done)
Most companies are about productivity and are target driven, as is Aspen Pharmacare.
This specific month I had to attend 5 days training off site, complete 10 – 12 Product Quality Reviews and attend scheduled meetings.
I had to persevere, work faster and smarter.
Reached the target and past my training within 15 days (instead of normal 20 days).
Acknowledgement of work well done by my superior was rewarding.
●Teamwork: (together, everyone achieves more)
Teamwork is of utmost importance in any work place. Being one of 2 administrators in our department, we have each other’s back and work extra hard when one is off sick or on leave.
●Saving money:
I offered to work extra time in a different department to assist with targets, while an Administrator was on maternity leave.
I saved the department money and time, instead of hiring and training a temporary administrator.
Superior was happy, and targets were met.
●Adaptability: (adaptability is being able to adjust to any situation at any given time)
I was successful at applying for the position as QA Administrator for Raw Material Vendors, in Vendor Management - a new position at Aspen East London in August 2017.
In Dec 2019, not only did I have to adapt to an extra work load, but also to new procedures for Vendor classification, Vendor Monitoring and Risk Assessment on all Raw Material Vendors, Packaging Material Vendors and Consumable Vendors.
Exceeded monthly targets from February – May 2020, learned how to adapt to circumstances/changes surrounding ones work.
