Nairobi is among counties with high levels of unemployment.
Thousands of city dwellers among them those living in slum areas like Kibera hunt for job opportunities every day.
Job hunting here is always a daunting and tiresome task especially if you have not planned for it.
Thousands of city graduates send countless job applications to potential employers every day.
According to Martin Muchina a Human Resource expert with a local company in Nairobi, job hunting needs planning, resources and time.
Here are five credible places you can search and find a job in Nairobi.
1. Public notice boards
As a job seeker in Nairobi often checks at public notice boards for job opportunities.
Potential employers pin job adverts on public notice boards in police stations, public hospitals, county and sub-county offices.
When applying for these jobs pinned on notice boards often be careful not to fall to tricksters who take advantage to unsuspecting people.
2. Government websites
Technology and social media has made things easy for the government in advertising jobs.
Majority of government agencies advertise job openings on their websites.
It is good as a job seeker to often be checking on the government websites of your interest for job openings.
3. Credible job sites
Some entrepreneurs have come up with professional job sites where they advertise for job openings from the government and private sector.
Such credible sites include brightermonday.com, careerpoint.com, and kenyamoja.co.ke.
4. Public barazas
It sounds oldish but it is one of credible places you can get your dream job.
Never ignore the public meetings because administrators use the forums to announce job opportunities.
5. Newspapers
It remains one of the main sources of job advertisements. Often get a copy of the local dailies and peruse through for job opportunities.
Nowadays the government has a special pull-out 'MyGOV' where it advertises for job opportunities.
The pull-out comes enclosed in local dailies on Tuesday of every week.
As you search for these jobs always remember to network with people to increase chances of getting employed.
All the best as you hunt for your dream job.
