By Tabitha Makumi,

It’s happening today!

Tired of applying for a million and one jobs and no one bothers to get back to you? No regret letter, no phone call, no email….nothing.

If this reflects your job searching journey as we are sure it does for most job seekers in Kenya, then you need to cancel any plans you have for today.

Corporate Staffing Services a leading Human Resource firm which has recruited for top organizations such as UN Women, Safaricom Sacco, HomeBoyz, Cube Movers, HassConsult etc has seen the need to train job seekers on the things they do wrong which end up jeopardizing their chances of landing even the simplest of jobs.

“We are targeting people who are just out of campus, people who have been job searching for a while without success, people who are on their first jobs and would like to know how they can add value to their first jobs and progress in their careers,” says Sheila Cheptoo the Communication Officers at Corporate Staffing Services.

She adds that young people are in dire need of someone to tell them what exactly they are doing wrong. “These are people who are thirsty for knowledge but unfortunately they have no one to go to with their queries.”

She shares that, “What we will be offering job seekers on Saturday is something they can’t find online. It will be a more personalized training forum on interviews to CV and cover letter writing, to how one can get a job in the NGO sector to sharing secrets of getting hired for jobs which you are interested in.”

Ms Cheptoo is quick to add that the forum has top notch professionals lined up who will be taking job seekers through the nitty-gritty’s of job searching.

‘Our key speakers will be Bonney Tunya, a presenter at CNBC Africa & formerly a presenter at KTN and Jane Mutisya, a Senior HR Professional with Practical Action.”

“And just why these two speakers,” I ask

“For Bonney Tunya, he has a rich background in communication and personal branding having had a successful career with leading media stations. As a job seeker, these are vital skills to emulate not forgetting that he has the “How I Made It” factor to inspire job seekers.”

Mr Tunya was also the host of KTN’s “Job Centre” a forum addressing all matters job search where HR professionals share insights on the Kenyan job market.

“On the other hand, Ms Jane Mutisya is a Senior HR Professional with rich background in profit making and leading donor funded organizations in Kenya.”

Ms Cheptoo adds that she is better placed to coach job seekers having had the capacity to recruit candidates in several fields.

“If your dream is to get a job in the NGO sector, Ms Mutisya is well equipped to share secrets on how you can land your dream job and progress in your career.”

The event will be held at the United Club, State House Road, opposite St. Pauls Chapel today from 2pm-5pm with charges being 500KSH only payable via Buy Goods OR at the entrance

“You will be in a privileged position to get first hand information from the horses mouth on what Kenyan employers really look for during the recruitment process and you will also get an opportunity to mingle and network with people who might have the keys to your next opportunity.”

She poses, “What better way to spend your Saturday afternoon?”
