How many times have you thought you have the
right qualifications for a job only to never hear from the hiring manager about
the CV and cover letter you submitted? Might you be falling into these common
traps?
1.
You only focus on the
Googles of the world: Companies that grab headlines such as Google, Coca Cola, East
African Breweries Limited, Kenya Airways and so on can be exciting places to
work in. So are many other organizations you have never heard of. Big companies
usually receive thousands of CVs for each opening. Why not consider exploring
opportunities with small and mid-sized organizations? After all, they make up
the majority of businesses in the country and can sometimes have good offers.
The point is, it is good to have Google on your sights as your dream employer,
but also keep your eyes open to other opportunities.
