eti 'something like a job? ngai!

I like people who use the 'I have skills to offer' approach.I can fill this gap,do this and that etc etc.Give me a chance.
That kind you want to sit and listen to.

Those who come to look? Shame on you wanachokesha.

Essyk I can attest that iko chidaLaughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

The most annoying part is that some job seekers are so sure of themselves that they will not make any changes even when advised that their CV would not be given a second look by any self respecting employer.

Worse still are the lazy types who will send it back to you claiming to have made changes that are only visible to themselves.

But guys this sorry state of affairs is applicable to many categories of people including under grads, grads, experienced hires, diploma holders and even Phds

True.I have seen a masters holder fidget,bite nails and sweat trickle during interview.
The cv however was very impressive.
These employers spend less than 10 sec checking out CVs.Others are filed, some end up in garbage.
If it looks impressive,it may be given consideration.
Understand that people are very busy.lol
Others C&P and employers know that.

Many employers look for what you can offer cz truth is, there's nothing so new.It's how you do it.The style that works.
That's why face to face interview matters.
Ukija na only ur past involvements u fail.

Eti chairman was sacco,sijui head of estate committee,treasurer wa family get togethers.
smh.the things people include in cvs!!

Human Resources sulks and stinks like hell! I do not like how HR people behave! Can you imagine the way you walk or if you appear in an interview room without a tie may cost you a job.

Your CV and your interview skills especially for young people should not be used to their disadvantage.

A few persons whom HR could have dismissed as jokers but they changed lives.

Steve Jobs was fired from Apple – a company he founded.
Michael Jordan as a high school sophomore didn’t make his varsity basketball team — another sophomore beat him out.
J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series (400 million copies sold) was rejected by 12 publishers.
Walt Disney was fired from a newspaper because “he lacked imagination and had no new ideas.”
Winston Churchill failed 6th grade and lost every election for public office, until he won and became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the Second World War.
