UPDATE 1:
A total of 82 people applied for the job. All of them university graduates even though this was a simple clerical job that can be done by a diligent form four leaver with basic knowledge of MS Office!
Gender distribution:
55 women
27 men
That is, there were TWO women applicants for every ONE man!
This was quite an eye-opener. Makes me wonder why there are so few women in employment than men...to the point of needing affirmative action [Remember Kibaki's
"30% of ALL public service appointments shall be women"].
Women seem to have a higher "go-getter" approach to life and are willing to start low. They don't have inflated egos - "Me? I can't do such a menial job: I am a graduate!"
So, naturally, the first person to apply was a woman; and she got the job.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
