Short, practical guides on job search, interviews and working life in Kenya. Start with these free readings — each one downloads as a PDF you can keep and read offline.
How to identify the right people to vouch for you, ask them properly, and give them what they need to write or speak on your behalf — so your references strengthen rather than undermine your application.
Most Kenyan graduates have done real, skilled work in a family shop, farm, market stall or informal trade — and then left it off their CV because they did not know how to present it. This guide shows you exactly how to describe that work so that a hiring manager reads it as genuine experience, not a gap.
Most attachments and internships in Kenya end with a certificate and a vague line on a CV. This guide shows you how to convert what you actually did — the tasks, the numbers, the problems you solved — into specific CV entries, LinkedIn content, and interview answers that get you shortlisted for formal employment.
