Professional Documents
Culture Documents
• When there is a failure to construct the building in a reasonably workmanlike manner, or the
structure fails to perform in the manner intended by the buyer. Even professionals do not
always work as specified, which can result in a defect.
• Clerks often have limited decision-making authority and may need to raise concerns with
higher authorities, which causes delays in certain cases. Because of the nature of clerical
labor, repeating duties can lead to boredom and decreased job satisfaction.
• Clerks increasingly rely on technology for data management. Technical faults or software
glitches can hinder their work processes. Without additional education or specialty, clerks'
opportunities for advancement may be limited. If the organization's systems or software
encounter technical issues, it can impact a clerk's ability to perform tasks efficiently.
Opportunities
• When a clerk performs well and closes a deal with a high-profile client, her boss might award
her a promotion.
• The construction industry is expected to grow in the coming years, which will create new
opportunities for clerks.
• Clerks are good with doing paperwork, their transactions with their partners are always easier.
• A clerk of works inspects the workmanship, quality, and safety of work on construction sites
and reports back to senior managers and clients. Once you have an outstanding performance,
you will be promoted.
• Clerks can take advantage of training opportunities to improve their technical skills, such as
acquiring complex software or data analysis tools. Gaining exposure to different departments or
tasks can broaden a clerk's skill set and potentially lead to advancement. As routine jobs
become increasingly automated, clerks may shift to more analytical roles focused on data
analysis and decision support.
Threats
• When a client with a short fuse doesn't understand what you're saying, he can notify your
manager and request to terminate you.
• The construction industry is increasingly competitive, with companies from overseas
bidding on projects. This could put downward pressure on wages and benefits for clerks.
• Anything that could cause damage to your materials needed, venture, or product. So when
a client notices that there are problems, you will be notified by your manager to stop the
contract. Missing even one deadline is all it takes for a company to lose its good standing
with a customer.
• As organizations evolve, job duties may be reorganized, combining activities and
expanding the scope of typical clerical duties. Rapid technological advancements could
require continuous learning to stay updated with new tools and systems. A downturn in
the economy may result in cost-cutting measures, affecting the overall demand for
administrative and clerical positions.
