So this young lady has been bothering me with ‘nitafutie kazi’
If i were the rest of y’all, i would have banged her with zero resistance.
So last week i bump into a buddy of mine who works in a decent-size family business… Our chat includes him sharing that he needs an accounts assistant at the family biz.
That very day nakumbuka this lady… and call her aniemail cv …i edit the CV (90% of kenyan’s CV suck) …then i forward it to the guy with a very positive recommendation.
My buddy calls her to the biz and offers her the job at 30k net of taxes, NHIF & NSSF
The lady anakataa saying ni kidogo sana
Yet where she’s at analipwa 20k kwa duka ya kuuza spares in a dusty location hapa tu Nai
Microwave graduates ni upuus na self entitlement wanayo. Kuna mwingine alikuja nikamuuliza expected salo akasema 50k net.
Kumpa interview ya basics hajui kitu.
They dont understand the importance of humble beginnings…
I have to admit we young people lack is humility, patience, persistence and perseverance. We tend to think that there is a short cut to riches. We detest hard work soo much, and bragging with our parents property is the order of the day. Dear Lord show us the right way
Kuna mwengine juzi tunapatana ananisho vile he turned down a 10K job. Nkamsho awache ujinga. Most of media persons start off na ile fare ya 7500KES unless wee unajuana… Smh. Self entitled people hunibo sana
Mimi nikitoka colle nilikua na portfolio poa i thought that would be my ticket to getting 60k starting salary. Weuh!!! Nilikula rodi miezi sita ikabidi nichukue job ya 20k.
Yangu ya kwanza ilikuwa 10k,engineer mzima.Nilinyamazia hata mzazi sikuambia,niliwaambia ni internship tu.One year down the line mzae alikuwa anaboeka akiniona anashangaa alisomeshaje engineer akuwe intern.I knew hiyo experience na responsibility mhindi alikuwa ananipea singeshikika baada ya mwaka. Exactly one year after,niliangukia kitu mzito after kupolish CV,and had to turn down two more interviews(in firms I had dropped my CV just two months before).Experience rich humble beginnings are the best footing for a successful life.
