Are you in Nairobi but you are not sure which offices accept CVs from fresh graduates in upper hill Nairobi? One of the most shocking things I have heard from fresh graduates is that they are not aware that there are companies in upper hill that conduct recruitment.
When I was looking for a job, I had to know almost every office in Nairobi because as I stayed more in the city, the more I became impatient. I was forced to go into every corner where a company existed. I got a chance to know that there are companies which don’t advertise jobs but recruit job seekers from a pool of resumes they receive from blind applications. If you don’t physically visit the companies, you stand a better chance of missing golden opportunity of getting a job in such institutions.
After I got a job and later realized how job seekers miss out on several opportunities due to ignorance, I promised myself to inform them on the best ways to seek employment in Nairobi. This is one of the many articles aimed at helping them.
