Zandre de Klerk

I am an ambitious and realistic person who makes decisions on a logical and objective way. I see myself as someone who plans ahead and focuses on what the future may hold. I am a cautious person who tends to analyses difficult situations in terms of the threats and opportunities, thereafter I will base my decision on what will withhold the most advantage. I believe in strong moral values and that a balanced life is important for family, personal and career success. My career goal is to make a success in any task given to me and to develop myself as an individual to fulfill a management position one day. I like to work in a team, but can also function independently. I enjoy taking responsibility to lead and motivate people to fulfil their highest potential.
