All Is Not Lost In The Job Market

A closer look at the current Kenyan situation on employment reveals a worrying and visibly appalling trend to anyone who cares note. Every potential graduate remains curious and a little skimpy about where life might land the next day. And that’s why this publication is not leaving to chance anything that ought to be shared.

Social Networking; If you are an addict of social networking(facebook for instance)endless of viable opportunities awaits you ,a little sacrifice is needed though. When you first log in to your account, what do you first attend to? Apparently, the inbox and maybe the notifications. Thereafter, you will naturally develop a feeling for funny posts because it’s all about comic relief. But wait a minute! Companies, firms and organizations have facebook accounts too,right?How many have you ‘liked’?-maybe none or one-the answer depends on your honesty. Make this first crucial step, at least today. Like as many corporate pages as possible. They will keep you up to the trends and all the operations of the outside world. What’s more, since you frequently visit the sites, you are likely to meet a schorlaship, internship or attachment post which could define you; something you would probably miss in the dailies.

Develop the art of ‘trying’; Life has no guarantee to anything; probably death which I’m not sure .Life is about faith,a walk with many twists and turns that require a sober mind. There are numerous opportunities which we are not afraid of snubbing and throwing under the carpet simply because we fear trying or we hate failing. Iam for the opinion that,if there was a writing competition for instance and I had done my basics with alphabeticals ;I’l just give it a try, because at least I have something to put on paper. The cost of trying can be naughtily low but the cost of not trying can add up to a lifetime regrets with visible waste of chance. Let’s keep trying ;any chance which we notice around us. Who knows??

Volunteer ship; The rough road to employment has evidently pushed the employers to the wall and they are desperately looking for words to turn down an application. It is not business as usual. It’s not the ‘swag’ we have during the interview or present ability of your CV(whose format you ‘Googled’ anyway)that counts but it’s the simple things that differentiate a class from a state. If I own certifications of Volunteer ship to a Children’s Home somewhere, his perception of my template will not be the same. Priorities are fast shifting for employers and we must match up. Make sure you have a certification of Volunteer ship before you graduate.

Talk is cheap and we cheapen it even further by doing nothing after reading all these. We all go through life bristling at our external limitations but the most difficult chains to break are inside us. But thanks we have a choice; either to be a passive victim of circumstance or be active hero of our lives. Spare the government the accusing finger of not creating employment by throwing your spanner to works.
