I was assigned to conduct a survey on Absenteeism and HIV/AIDS in the Mail Depot/Centre and the Bloemfontein Post Office. The supervisors of the said sections were interviewed with the objective of conducting a survey regarding absenteeism in their work units and their view on HIV/AIDS in the workplace. In the report thereof I, as the author, reviewed the theory or background regarding the concepts of absenteeism and HIV and AIDS in the workplace and their effects/impact in the workplace, to the employees, the management and the organisation applying the literature review to the survey at hand and the outcomes thereof, also making recommendations to the Labour Relations Unit, for further discussion with the next line of management for review and possible implementation for the region.
This was an attempt to survey the situation in the two identified sections or business units and to assess the need or possibility of conducting a survey in other sections of the organisation, involving employees at all levels, offices and areas.

It entails dealing with clients on a daily bases.
A typical week starts with reporting of the previous week happenings, attending to electronic queries and any ad hoc matters arising. Challenging work conditions but fun to work with different clients both internally and externally. There's an opportunity to learn something new once in a while and deal with different unique cases.
I have an opportunity also, to deal with different people on different levels, form a Municipal CFO, Government Director, Finance Manager to an Admin person and the Messenger. That awarded me a chance to communicate on different levels and expand my abilities. I work closely with other business units in my company and that instilled good team work spirit in me. I draw my own plans and clients visits for the week so I also work on my own.
Sometimes I am forced to make decisions regarding clients' issues ad I get immense satisfaction knowing all parties' needs are fulfilled.
The most challenging part of my work is when a client is not being helped. Because our business units are interlinked, if 1or 2 sections drags their feet, it can jeopardise the hard work invested by the others. However, there's many ways to kill a cat. I learnt to make the best with what I have at hand.
The most enjoyable part of my job is to work with different people and meet new people most of the time. I also enjoy the travelling part of my job. I take pride in meeting the demand, providing solutions and closing successful deals.

Started with my duties each day. I really learned a lot in the time working for the SA Post Office, that is where I picked up all my experience. Management was really great and the door was always open for new opportunities. Got along with all my co-workers. The hardest part of the job, was to say no when I was asked to assist someone while my work itself was under pressure. I loved my work, because to be a personal assistant was really my dream since I was little. All the experience I got from my work, can never be taken away from me.
Pros
Fringe benefits, balance between social life and work.
Cons
Really learned to work under pressure, but made me as stronger and wise person
