– She has finally landed one
Getting job in Kenya is seemingly becoming a nightmare for many qualified youths. Many have gone through the education system, got the necessary skills but jobs have continued to elude them each day.
Rakiel Kaoka looked for a job using a placard.
This was the same situation Rakiel Kaoka found herself in after completing her undergraduate degree in economics and finance from Kenyatta University.
Rakiel has also done Certified Public Accounting (CPA) up to grade 5.
After sending many CVs and visiting many offices without getting help, the beautiful girl who resides in Kahawa Wendani, Kiambu county, resorted to the most unlike means of looking for a job.
She has gotten a job with the Youth Enterprise Development Fund.
She made a placard bearing her name, her qualifications and her contact and set off to Limuru Road, near Gigiri where the United Nations offices are situated.
Rakiel lifted the placard high in the middle of the road as motorists rushed to their daily hustles.
She did this for three days.
