@palesazwane1
I capture and maintain high-volume records with 99% accuracy across government and NGO operations.
What I'm looking for
I've supported the Department of Education by capturing and updating more than 1,000 employee records daily on PERSAL, while maintaining accurate payroll, promotion, termination, and performance databases in Excel.
I clean, validate, format, and securely manage confidential personnel data for Head Office, SAQA, BEEI Phase V, and internship programmes. I also produce progress reports and maintain Google Sheets for team tracking.
Previously, I maintained student attendance, grades, and school records as an Education Assistant, and handled high-volume client and stakeholder records at Tholimpilo Youth Organisation.
I'm detail-focused and bring over five years of data capturing, records administration, document control, and payroll verification experience across government and NGO environments.
