Among the stressful things in Kenya is getting a job.
In contrast to the past whereby graduates secured jobs in a blink of an eye upon completion of a certain course, whether you have graduated with first or second upper-class honours which are highly regarded grades, it is not a guarantee that you will be employed in Kenya we are in right now.
Competition for jobs is stiff due to the high number of unemployed graduates . As a fresh graduate you need to think outside the box.
Here are ways to market yourself in job industries:
Join LinkedIn
It is ranked among the most popular sites in Kenya that can market you in different job industries. On this one, first of all, you need to brand yourself.
If you are an electrical engineer, describe your skills proficiency in your summary as well as the outstanding projects you did while at the university.
Avoid Email
Emailing different organisations is among the blunders you should shun. Be aware you are not the only one hunting for that particular job and therefore distinguish yourself by seeking the job physically.
Besides, emailing is not as appealing as meeting in person with the manager. This will increase your chances of getting the job.
Empower your network
Interact socially for the purpose of getting connections. You can achieve this by befriending some staff members who you think may help you get a job during internships.
