A stable and nurturing workplace
Public Service Officer (Former Employee), Buona Vista – July 23, 2012
Pros: family friendly policies. one can start work at 8am, 830am or 9am
Cons: can be rather desk bound in job nature
MOE is a very nurturing workplace where people speak positively to each other. As a ministry, there are many community involvement activities e.g. spring cleaning for the old folks, concerts and division games which one can be involved in to get to know friends from other divisions. I find the management very supportive. Always trying to find out our – more... career aspirations and seeing how the opportunities could be availed. As long as we can articulate it!

It is a place to work if your emphasis is on family and you'd like a stable and friendly workplace :) – less

Productive and enjoyable with cards and dominos
Data Processing Operator (Current Employee), Georgetown – July 23, 2012
Pros: visit different school and region in guyana
Cons: salary
A typical day at work starts with coming in for 08:00 hrs, opening doors and turning on the Air Conditioner. Come at my desk and turn on my computer and begin updating spreadsheets with different information such as personnel information on teachers, or budgetting figures.

From my job I learnt work in different fields, initially I was assigned to the – more... Personnel Department for the purpose of entering information into a data base. But that project never kicked off so I was placed directly with the Head, of Personnel where I learnt to do budgetting, purchasing, appointments of teachers, etc.

I have no problem with my co-workers I am fun, free spirited and always no matter what respect elders no matter what position they may hold.

The hardest part of my job was when I held two offices my job in personnel and also one in School Board Secretariat I had to work with two Supervisors and they both need me at the same time, and I don't like to disappointment people.

I don't have one specific enjoyable part of my job, I love my job, no matter what the situation is. – less

Executive Assistant (Current Employee), Harare Provincial Office – May 31, 2012
Pros: good working hours
Cons: low remuneration
A day in the office is quite hectic as one has to deal with all kinds of clients, it is a public office.
I have learnt to be patient and tolerant, not all people are the same and that what I may find easy to understand; the next person may be totally confused!
My co-workers are very supportive and we work as a team. We are a District Office comprising – more... 18 staff members. we are like family.
What makes the job difficult is the protocol and lines of communication which make decisions quite slow. I am very innovative and I enjoy coming up with new ideas. They are not easy to implement, nomatter how good because Ministry regulations are not easily changed.
The best part of my job is socialising and working with people. I work in a public office which allows me to interact with different people. – less
