Bonnie Tshabalala

I can quickly acclimate to different environments and am open to new processes and technologies.

I am always mindful that mistakes are expensive to businesses in terms of time and money. As such, I believe that attention to detail is a vital skill that should never be underestimated or taken lightly.

I can easily work anybody, both team members and across departments. I am a good team player.

I understand the importance of verbal, writing and presentation skills are important soft skill in a workplace. Therefore, I possess the ability to interact with different audiences easily.

I understand that managers want to give staff a measure of autonomy so they can rather focus on the bigger picture (they also know it can improve employee happiness and performance). That’s why I always try to assess a situation and determine the next steps to take, rather than continually ask for guidance.

As understanding the emotions of others is important if you want to effectively engage with coworkers, the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes is a valuable trait. I always keep that in mind.

As today’s workplace is in many ways busier and more complicated than in the past, I understand that the ability to juggle tasks and competing priorities is essential.

I always approach difficulties with a "can-do attitude". I understand that resilience and determination, not a negative mindset, are what gets a job done. 

As no job doesn’t involve challenges and problems, I know that no employer wants to handhold staff when those challenges and problems arise. I possess the ability to resolve conflicts and come up with creative solutions to challenges, big or small.

No boss wants to keep lighting a fire under their workers, so I always take initiatives to solve problems and get the job done.

I understand the importance of good time management as a prime skill to effectively do my job. I have the discipline to tune out distractions, meet deadlines and get the most out of the workday.

I am an honesty, punctual, responsible and reliable person.

As a dynamic company secretary professional with more than five years of professional experience in executing administrative, compliance and board meeting management duties, I am confident that I would be a valuable asset to the team at your company.

I also have exposure to legal secretarial experience, having worked as such in one of the big law firms in Johannesburg.
