I had been called for a pre-interview by a leading recruitment firm on wed for a job i had applied & was advertised over a week ago.Before that the lady had told me if am comfortable staying in limuru?coz the company is based in limuru…i said yes.She’s insisted if i know someone with the same qualifications to come see her coz the position is for 2 candidates…Anyway met her & told me afterward that she will forward the CV to the client which is an NGO.
Funny thing is the position is a JUNIOR position for two graduates with a Degree & 3yrs industry experience!!Am asking myself how come they have shortlisted me & asked me to look for somebody else with the same qualifications YET am a diploma graduate with over 10yrs experience??Hakuna jobseekers with the same skill sets & experience in this Kenyan economy…
Having achieved the 10 years experience is akin to possessing the degree and the minimum required experience which 3 rains. Go for it bwoy and all the best.
you are the best for the position. Your years of experience is very had to find for their offer and once you get that job you are there to stay, unlike young graduates. Lastly in future you won"t compete with them for a promotion
