Kensington, Johannesburg
My name is Pontsho Khoza, and I am 25 years. I hold a BSc degree in Microbiology & and biochemistry from University of the Witwatersrand. The degree completed has given me knowledge of biological processes, systems, mechanisms, in-depth knowledge of subject-specific areas, as well as the understanding of research techniques, methods and the theory behind them. Through the laboratory practicals I have learned to use laboratory equipment and techniques to collect and record data, and to use a variety of software to store, analyze, process and present the data obtained. I have also learnt to use mathematical and statistical reasoning to interpret research findings. Moreover, I have developed the ability to critically synthesize and summarize data or other information to question, solve problems or reach objective conclusions.
I am currently employed at The BEST Funeral society as a billing administrator. I’m responsible for 104 profiles, for which every month I ensure that bills are sent to clients timeously and premiums are allocated as payments are made and schedules are received. My primary duty is billing and allocation of the premiums, therefore I constantly do reconciliation of the premiums to ensure that the money paid matches the payment schedule for all my profiles. One of my biggest profiles has over 3000 members, and I am managing it well. I deal with queries from both primary and secondary clients, telephonically and through emails. My job is highly deadline-driven throughout the month, and the pressure gets high every month end.
I have completed a 1 year INSETA learnership contract at Liberty Life as a Fund Administrator, and was then admitted as an intern. I have obtained NQF 4 in Wealth Management which I wrote exams via Damelin College of business in 2015 and currently studying towards BSc Environmental Management with UNISA. I also hold a certificate in basic Microsoft literacy.
I am very analytical, and pay attention to details. With my working experience, I have had the opportunity to develop skills and abilities such as strong behavior management techniques and have strong ability to cope with stress and pressure. I am an independent self-starter with passion for success, and have strong work ethics.
My one wish is to be given the opportunity to grow.
Sincerely,
Pontsho Khoza
