Rita Jacobs

Administrative Assistant

About me
I started off my career with Harmony Gold Mine in Virginia, South Africa. After
getting married, my career took a turn due to me relocating and I gained not only
employment, but further training and experience in data capturing and statistics
with Conrad Bezuidenhout Dairy Farm. I have always enjoyed working with
figures and consider mathematics, accounting, data capturing and statistics my
strong points. The other key elements that I can bring to any role, is my strong
organizational and administrative skills as well as the fact that I believe that as a
team we can accomplish more than individuals.
