Three tips from champions to help you find jobs in Kenya
Three tips from champions to help you find jobs in Kenya
As you are reading this sentence, and if you are looking for a job, are between 21 to 35 years, and are living in Kenya, then there are a minimum of 9,999,999 other young people who like you are in Kenya in this moment and are looking for a job.
Competition for the few jobs in Kenya is not just competition, it is significantly stiff competition. You probably already know the figures, the unemployment rate amongst those in your age group is at a staggering over 70% and that there are over 10million in your age group, right at this moment looking for a job.
That the competition for jobs in Kenya is stiff suggests to some, especially those that listen to street chatter, that they do not have a chance.
That is wholly untrue. Thousands are finding jobs daily in Kenya and there are companies that are creating new opportunities daily. The challenge is to move oneself from the back to the front row of seekers. That way you increase your chances at a job.
How do you move yourself to the front row?
Recognise the competition and do what sports champions do
When a sports champion is scheduled to play in what is likely to be a competitive round, they do not sit at home biting their fingers and dreading the upcoming game.
No! They hit the training tracks to increase their competence in the game. They train their muscles some more, thoroughly familiarize themselves with the rules and develop a unique winning strategy.
Similarly, if you plan to win in the game of finding jobs in Kenya, your best plan is to recognise that this is a competition and prepare every step of the way as you would if you plan to win in any other competition. You will win when you have a well thought out job strategy.
Develop a well thought out unique winning plan like a marketer
All marketers know that proving their product's worth is the key to their success.
You are unique and that is what singularly separates you from the crowd. However, communicating that uniqueness to employers is another matter all together.
Employers will not have mercy on you and just give you a job. On the contrary, because there are so many of you to choose from, you need to convince them that you are their best choice out of the numbers.
For that reason, you need to develop a clear winning plan for yourself; a winning strategy. What would a clear strategy contain?
Develop clarity of purpose; know who you are and what you can offer
Have a team of willing people to help you search
Have a pre-developed and captivating self introduction
Know how to wow an employer in thirty seconds flat
Cultivate self confidence through knowing your corporate worth
Prepare a CV that clearly shows your corporate value
A clear plan to help you stand out from the crowd is your best card. It will work whether you kujuana' (are familiar) with some well placed officers or not.
Develop tenacity and focus like you would in a sales job
When there is competition as high as there is for jobs in Kenya, you cannot afford to make finding jobs an occasional blood stirring pass-time.
You work at it like a sales person. Learn to look at every single forum where you find yourself as a place to find jobs in Kenya.
Listen up! There are way too many people crowding at job agencies for that to be a winning strategy! Look for jobs in ways that fewer people are using and in places that fewer people are looking. Train your eye to spot decision makers when the last thing on their minds is to bang a door in a job seeker's face. They are more willing to listen to you then.
Make finding work so important to you that everyone you speak to will take you seriously. Focus, focus and focus more which breeds clarity and determination; the two winning cards in any life endeavour. You won't win at finding jobs with luck and hours of intercession either.
