5 Ways to Find the Right Career.

For many professionals, it reaches a time in their lives when they feel they are no longer moving in their careers. It becomes dreary to wake up in the morning and go to the same desk or factory floor. So, here’s how you can revitalize a career which is headed downhill.

1. Research the future of your Profession.
The first and perhaps most important step that all workers should take right now is to begin researching trends in their industry.
"Many employees don't realize that industry downsizing will affect their jobs until it's too late. But in this Kenyan economy, you should be on the lookout for telltale signs,". "One key question to ask yourself is if there have been major layoffs or consolidations in companies similar to yours."
Not only is this a good way to forecast your job security, it could give you clues about the next big thing in your industry or a related profession so you can begin searching for opportunities there.

2. Focus on Your Skill, Not Your Industry
If you find out your industry is in trouble, it doesn't mean you need to spend a lot of money going back to school. Instead, focus on what you are particularly good at and see where you can apply the skills you have already learned.
"The people who do best in a difficult workforce are the most flexible, so focus on where you're flexible. Even if you are in a dying field, you can use certain skills within the dying profession to apply for jobs in other

 Saturday, 23 March 2013

This is an extract from an interview between Deloitte and Capital FM, on the upcoming 2013 Deloitte Graduate Recruitment Programme.

Corporate Kenya has become very competitive. The search for talent starts at the University level with exceptional students securing internships and jobs before they graduate. One of the ‘big four’ accountancy firms in the region is now engaging students on social media to nurture a rapport and create communication lines with students.

Deloitte EA, which will soon be launching it’s annual graduates’ recruitment programme, asserts that there is much potential in social media as a medium for recruitment.

An interview with two of Deloitte’s partners; Doreen Mbogho (Financial Advisory Partner who is also in charge of talent) and Anne Muraya (Audit Partner) gives more insight to this trend as they talk about the Deloitte Graduate recruitment programme.

What led to the choice of social media campaign as opposed to conventional methods?

5 Questions that Job Seekers Should Always Ask- But Can't.

When you're interviewing for a job, it's crucial to interview the employer right back, to make sure that this is a job you want and a company you want to be a part of. But here are some questions most job seekers don't feel comfortable asking—even though they'd love to know the answers:

1. Why do most people really leave jobs here? In some offices, it's a poorly kept secret that turnover is high because the company won't give raises or offer opportunities for promotion, or simply because the management makes employees' lives miserable. But as a job seeker, it can be impossible to tell this from the outside.

2. How secure is this job? No one wants to leave a secure job for one that's in danger of disappearing. If the new company is having financial troubles, new hires could be on the top of the list if layoffs happen—but all too often employers don't warn prospective hires that this might be coming. You can always find out from former colleagues, or by researching online about the company’s reputation for staff retention.

3. Can I really use that leave? Some companies offer generous leave time on paper, but not in practice. If you can never get your time off approved and your manager frowns on taking leave, it won't matter how
