What nationality are you? Motswana What languages do you speak (and at what level)? English (fluently) setswana (fluently) What country or area are you looking to work in and why?

Ecohydrology What fields have you worked in before? Ecohydrology soil science What qualifications do you hold? BSc degree in environmental Science Which do you consider more valuable? Formal education or skills and why? I believe education that combines a bit of both is more useful since it smoothes work from planning to execution stages. Otherwise i would go with skills as it empowers one with the knowledge to undertake projects while formal education just lays the foundation. Describe the benefits of working with others Communication and peer review are a major component of a successful project, i believe working with others provides an early view into how different people/communities will react to the complete product of one's project. Describe the benefits of working alone Working alone is faster since consultation may take time, also evaluating comments and inputs from team mates may delay projects. What was your worst working experience? Having a project report rejected without enough and/or understandable reasons. What is the most important lesson you have learnt throughout your career? Peer review and team work helps a lot even though it takes time. Also, the need to understand project requirements before one embarks on one is a crucial part of work. What unique skills do you have? I am computer literate with an ability to recognise problems with computer progams and fix them or recommend remediation measures without the help of a computer technician. What would you consider as your 'dream job'? Chief Research Officer (soil sciences) in a major company What are the most interesting aspects of your field? Field work and experimentation (laboratory work). Figuring ourt a new method to work with is a always a challenge and the execution and final completion of the job is a reward. What are the least interesting aspects of your field? Report writing is less exciting as one always has to be following a certain set of guidelines from start to the end, without much personal influence. Describe your ideal place of work? I would like to work in rural areas, with access to medical facilties and basic needs. How can potential employers contact you? email: gr8bionica@gmail.com Cell no: +267 74121088 (Botswana) |
