    I had a great experience in CBKHI and if given a chance I would like to work here again.
    The good thingsWhat I like the most in CBKHI are the Bosses. They are all kind and approachable.
    The challengesThe challenges I encountered in this company are the distance between my home to the office and also the low salary or maybe because during that time I was under an agency.

    so much things that I have learned from them.
    The good thingsThey challenged me on the things that I thought I cannot do. At the same time, they help me to improve my self confidence in a way of communicating with other Departments and even in managerial positions. They also trust me in recruiting employees (end to end process)
    The challengesI think they need to improve of how they communicate with their employees like simple questions. And they also need to give enough time to accomplished their report. in that way they can also give a time from their co workers.

    Regarding My Two Months Stay In The Company.
    The good thingsThey would assigned you specific task if you would apply for the entry level. If you are a Business Management graduate and you have key competencies with Accounting Background or Secretarial Job, you would be assign as one of the Administrator staff, just in case they are hiring. If they are not hiring, they would just keep your resume as for their records. And, the training would be basic such as typing skills, encoding skills and issuing of invoices since you are on entry level.
    The challengesIn my time, making mistakes in the tasks you were doing which is assigned to you by your Supervisor is intolerable. Even if you are just a newbie. So, if you are a fresh graduate, and you make lots of mistakes. And, this is your first job and need income ASAP since the head of the household could not provide income or your household could not get the other way around as alternative, it would be your misfortune. So, failure or mistakes is intolerable for the management.
