• Tips for desperate job seekers: Learn to handle stress

  Posted: August 27, 2009, 1:34 pm by Advertise jobs

  Keeping a positive outlook while searching for a new job can be challenging. In a bad economy, where jobs are hard to find, or possibly even in a strong economy, job hunts are often disheartening and stressful. There may not be many openings in your field that you are qualified for or that pay well. It is important to remember, however, that maintaining a positive outlook is crucial for success. Your chances of getting hired if you come across as negative or desperate are much lower than if you approach job hunting in a positive way.
  
  Job searching can quickly turn into an all-encompassing activity, taking up your entire day. If you are not actively seeking a new position, then you are worrying over your lack of job and how that may affect you or your family. Take a step back and remove yourself temporarily from the situation. Unemployment may last months. This is the time to take up a new hobby or to work on projects you keep putting off. Enjoy your lighter schedule, but don’t do so at the cost of your job searching efforts. Schedule a few hours each day for looking for work, and spend the rest of the day doing other things. This is also a good time to make some self improvements. Pick up some new skills that might help you once your career is going again.
  
  Focus on short-term goals. Spending all of your time focused on everything that needs to get done can lead to frustration and negativity. Set daily and weekly goals, and take small steps. Rewrite your résumé, make new contacts, and put your name out there. Set up a schedule of weekly goals, and stick to it.
  
  Find a strong support system. This may be family, friends, or previous coworkers. Having a group of people to turn to after a particularly difficult day may help to relieve stress and feelings of helplessness. The members of your support group should be positive, not people who will give you a hard time about being out of work. These should be people who help you to keep a positive outlook while job hunting. Supportive friends can help distract you from the negative aspects of your job hunt.
  
  Job searching can be a positive experience. Spending time away from a career updating your skill set may allow you to pursue new employment venues. Don't be afraid to branch out and explore new options. This may even lead you to a career that you wouldn't have thought of before beginning your job searching.

• Salary - How Much Is Enough To Sustain An Average Kenyan

  Posted: August 25, 2009, 10:07 pm by Advertise jobs

  Talking of salaries, no amount is enough to sustain an average salary earner.
  
  Who is an average salary earner? Can you imagine. Salaries are paid according to either ones academic records, experience or both. Most organizations do not follow the salary scheme and as such it affects the employees.
  
  However, some Kenyans do not have enough qualification and experience in order to earn what they are supposed to be earning at that stage in life. Again, some Kenyans have every qualifications and experience needed to acquire a particular job but because the jobs are either not available or that the positions have been filled with the so-called socialites/politicians' families who do not have 1/2 the needed qualifications required.
  
  Things are very expensive in the market - thanks to the Government. As the government claim to improve the standard of living of its subjects it stylishly destroys them knowingly or unknowingly after adding a few pennies to their salaries. Everything goes up in the market; edible, domestic things, etc. Transportation and every other means of having a better living get so expensive that they become luxuries for some people.
  
  Don’t be surprised if more Kenyan employees go on strike over poor pay or leave jobs all together. Kenya airways strike over low salary might just be the tip of the iceberg.

• Kenya Airways Salaries: Why The Strike Was The Better Option

  Posted: August 24, 2009, 12:25 pm by Advertise jobs

  Having read your editorial last week on the Kenya Airways strike, I wish to share some information with you.
  
  The total annual wage bill at the airline is Sh3.6 Billion. Management takes a consolidated salary of Sh1.2 billion, pilots and co-pilots take about Sh1.4 billion and the rest of the employees take Sh1 billion.
  
  The percentage allocation is management: 34 percent (400 staff), pilots 37 percent (340) and unionisable staff 29 percent (3500 employees). The average management salary is Sh240,000; pilots Sh340,000; and the rest is Sh25,000.
  
  Management ranges from the CEO whose salary and allowances are in excess of Sh5 million to supervisors who are paid Sh150,000 upwards.
  
  Pilots are the highest paid group of employees. A pilot on the biggest aircraft earns Sh1 million a month. The lowest paid pilot (a first officer) earns a minimum of Sh400,000.
  
  The rest of the staff are represented by the Aviation And Allied Workers Union. The highest paid earns a basic salary of Sh60,000 while the lowest paid gets Sh8,000.
  
  Cabin crew are a paid a basic salary or Sh18,000 and a house allowance of Sh12,000 which comes to a total of Sh30,000.
  
  They are paid an additional layover allowance ranging from 70 dollars to a maximum for 630 dollars depending on the number of nights they spend in outstation.
  
  This allowance is for meals, laundry and other expenses. Kenya Airways pays accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis.
  
  Pilots are paid a layover allowance of 190 to 250 dollars. Smaller airlines in Kenya pay their cabin crews an average basic pay of Sh50,000.
  
  A basic understanding of mathematics will reveal the huge disparities in pay in Kenya Airways. Management continue to award themselves salary increments frequently to offset inflation. Pilots have a powerful union KALPA which stages frequent go-slows.
  
  These go-slows are never highlighted in the media but result in the union leveraging the company for higher pay and allowances.
  
  Hence to describe the demand for 130 percent pay raise as unreasonable is to totally miss the point and shows a dismal ignorance of the facts and figures. Paying one person Sh1 million while another earns Sh8,000 is atrocious to say the least.
  
  Whereas there are different levels of specialisation required for each job, such huge disparities are unacceptable.
  
  For unionizable employees to accept the salaries they are currently earning is to endorse corporate slavery where the masses are working for the benefit of the minority in management and pilots.
  
  Any assertion that a demand for fair pay is “killing a company” could not be further from the truth.
  
  In the history of labour relations in this country, all strikes by workers have been declared illegal by the courts. The courts have frequently been used to frustrate the aspirations of the common man and perpetuate injustice even in the corporate world.
  
  Hence again I beg to differ with the assertion that the strike was illegal and set a wrong precedent for labour relations in Kenya. The wrong precedent was set when the company awarded huge increments to themselves and pilots while giving a 4 percent raise to someone earning Sh8,000.
  
  The 20 percent increment agreed on was interim and for returning to work as we await job evaluation and further increment to raise lower salaries to industry accepted standards in six months.

• Ladies, ever used sex to boost your career?

  Posted: August 22, 2009, 7:20 pm by Advertise jobs

  Both men and women do it. It’s still more “acceptable” for the guys - especially if the company is run by a leadership team which is male dominated. Where the guy may be seen as just ”studly” for his conquests of gals who are senior to him in rank; the lady who practices this approach is often seen as a more calculating. And the guy is usually less negatively regarded by both genders.
  
  I’ll address this issue as it affects males in a later blog. Today I’ll focus on females.
  I’ve worked with several women who conciously used sex to get the attention, become well known and then gain a promotion from someone at a level who could help them move forward.
  
  Two of them used it as planned: One - who ended up being the head of a large retail chain of departments stores- was very candid about it. I’ve also had clients who weren’t as fortunate as the two noted above.
  
  One was a supervisor level individual who was moved ahead quickly after she began a romance with the CEO. She felt all was going well until the boss became more demanding during their bed time and she realized it was time to break off the physical stuff. It then became clear that he’d started telling others in the company that she wasn’t up to the job anymore and the sharks started circling her - watching for mistakes and jumping on them when they occurred. By the time we started work together she’d lost a lot of her confidence and was in need of a new plan.
  
  It’s a fact that even today women usually cannot escape the negative stigma of office romance. Whether there are genuine feelings or it’s just physical, when a guy and a gal work at the same place and ”get together” it usually becomes known at some point later. And the guy won’t be penalized - he may be cheered by some of his dumber colleagues. The woman won’t be cheered by anyone in all likelihood. And more probably she’ll lose favor with both genders if she’s seen as slutty. Not a great career move.
  
  Is it OK for a woman to use sex to boost her career?

• Internal Auditor Job Opening|: Goal NGO

  General Overview/Description of the Role
  
  Stakeholders including; trustees, employees, donors and the public expect those charged with governance of the charity to manage the significant risks the charity is facing and to put adequate controls in place to deal with such risks. These risks encompass risks related to charitable operations, as well as risks related to compliance with laws and regulations, and financial reporting.
  
  Good governance, by its nature, demands effective systems of internal control and a charity's system of internal controls therefore has a key role in the management of risks that are significant to the fulfilment of its charitable objectives. A sound system of internal control contributes to safeguarding ALL stakeholders and the charities assets.
  
  A charity’s objectives, its internal organization and the environment in which it operates are continually evolving and, as a result, the risks it faces are continually changing. A sound system of internal control therefore depends on a thorough and regular evaluation of the nature and extent of the risks to which the company is exposed.
  
  Since quality programs from which beneficiaries will benefit are, in part, the reward for successful risk-taking by charities; the purpose of internal control is to help manage and control risk appropriately, rather than to eliminate it.
  
  The purpose of internal audit within GOAL is to work with senior management to continually review and develop sufficient systems of internal control in order to manage the respective risks that the charity faces thereby protecting all stakeholders.

  - A principal focus of the work will be to assess how efficient budget management and monitoring is in each field.
  - A principal focus of the work will be to review systems of control around the use of cash in field offices.
  
  Donor Compliance
  
  Knowledge and understanding of the key areas of donor compliance. As a further remit to each field visit ensure appropriate systems are in place in all relevant areas; reporting, documentation, filing protocols, resources allocated to ensuring donor compliance, training of staff.
  
  Subsidiary ongoing responsibilities:

  - Assume the role of acting Field FC (i.e. provide cover) in situations where:- there may be a time period between contract end and contract start of successive Field FCs, or - a Field FC may require a prolonged leave of absence. - Provide inputs / recommendations in ongoing review of GOAL’s financial procedures and control structures.

  on the phone. One of your clients, for example, might happen to be in the next office and decide to “pop” into yours, as well, to say “jambo”.

  their calls. If their messages are really urgent, they will find an alternative way of getting them to you. Five minutes of detraction can result in loss of volumes of input, and subsequently, output

• Network & Find Jobs That Are Never Advertised

  Posted: August 20, 2009, 3:29 pm by Advertise jobs

  Career experts estimate that the vast majority of job openings are never advertised or publicly announced, but filled through word-of-mouth or networking -- known as the "hidden job market." The likelihood of a job opening not being advertised at all increases with the level of the job. Yet, even with this knowledge, most job seekers fail to fully utilize networking for all it's worth.
  
  Networking means developing a broad list of contacts -- people you've met through various social and business functions -- and using them to your advantage when you look for a job. People in your network may be able to give you job leads, offer you advice and information about a particular company or industry, and introduce you to other so that you can expand your network.
  
  The best place to start developing your network is with your family, friends, and neighbors -- and with their family, friends, and neighbors, but don't stop there. Talk to co-workers, colleagues in your industry, and those you meet at industry gatherings, such as trade shows and conferences. Talk with former co-workers, bosses, and teachers.
  
  The key to successful networking deciding to put the energy needed to make it work. First, you need to get organized (for example, keeping a business card file or computer database). Second, you need to stay in contact (for example, through regular phone calls, email, and holiday greetings). Third, you need to set goals for yourself (such as 5 new contacts per week).

• How To Leave You're Boring/Dead End Job For The Better

  Posted: August 19, 2009, 1:20 pm by Advertise jobs

  Work is a huge part of our lives. If you work full time, then you probably spend more time in the office than at your home. That is why it is vitally important that you feel satisfied with your work on many levels. For many of us, that includes the opportunity for growth and for more challenges. If you are no longer getting that from your job and feel an overall sense of dissatisfaction and frustration as a result, then you may be in a dead-end job.
  
  And, you may seriously want to consider leaving it for greener pastures.
  
  Dead-end jobs are depressing. Simply put. They do not challenge us. Quite the opposite, as they make us feel like machines just going through the motions. With jobs that are going nowhere, we are no longer energized by exciting new projects, and we do not feel that our gifts and talents are being fully used, or perhaps even partially used.
  
  We no longer take pride or get satisfaction out of our work, and others may not value it. It's just not a good place, and not one we want to stay in for any length of time. The good news is that we can take action and look for other, more fulfilling opportunities!
  
  It is typically easier to find a job while you have a job, so if you are ready to leave your dead-end job, it is wise not to approach your boss and say, "Take this job and shove it!" Instead, discretely start considering other options. You must be very quiet about this plan because if word gets out, you may get in trouble at your current job. And, even a dead-end job can be better than no job while transitioning.
  
  You will want to first take a personal audit of your objectives for another job. Think carefully about what it is that will be more satisfying to you, but you need to be realistic. Your dream may to be in a rock band, but will that support your family and pay your mortgage?
  
  Some things to consider include the following:
  
  - Do you want to stay in the same line of work?
  - Is more education something you need to move ahead at another place?
  - Do you want to pursue something slightly different or drastically different?
  - What things are not satisfying about your current job?
  - Are you in the correct job market to pursue something better?
  - What are you best at in your current job?
  - What skill sets would you like to use more?
  - Are you willing to relocate?
  - What compensation would be desirable to you, within reason?
  
  The better you can understand what you bring to the table and what it is you want as a next step, the better positioned you are to make a good decision if you leave your dead-end job. You are not acting on impulse but seeking to make a grounded and wise choice.
  
  You may want to seek feedback from colleagues from prior jobs about your strengths and weaknesses. Or, run your plan by a trusted but objective person if possible.
  
  Once you have a better idea of what kind of work or which skills you would like to use in your next job, put your feelers out.
  
  Also, search career Web sites for jobs that are available in your current area, or in the field of work you desire. If you are considering returning to school or getting a graduate degree, explore programs in your area.
  
  Whatever it is you are seeking to change, do as much research and preparation as possible. Also, be sure to review out it will potentially impact your family or finances. While many of you may prefer trading in your desk job to work at the local floral shop, is the cut in pay something you could really afford to take?
  
  By thoroughly considering what you want and need, and what is out there, you are on your way to leaving your dead-end job. Stay open minded and see what opportunities come your way! And, be patient. Good things do not always develop overnight, but as long as your are taking some actions to potentially move on from your dead-end job, you will immediately feel better and have more hope.

• How To Survive The Tough Kenyan Job Market.

  Posted: August 18, 2009, 4:27 pm by Advertise jobs

  You know that old saying about when the going gets tough … the tough get going?

  That can also be said about finding the right job when you get out of college.
  
  Finding the right job right away can be very difficult. This is because the most worthwhile goals in life take patience, time and hard work.
  
  Rather than getting discouraged by the possible lack of immediate success, use whatever time you do have before landing that new job to make sure that your long-term career plans are properly sketched out and based upon realistic, achievable goals and timelines.
  
  In order to navigate through the sometimes choppy waters of unemployment, you need to have faith in yourself and your career ascension strategies.
  
  In Corporate Kenya it's up to you to make things happen. It's up to you to make sure that you target the right job opportunities and that you always present yourself as the most qualified and enthusiastic candidate. You must be able to prove you’re more than competent to do the job and add value to any company's bottom line.
  
  When it comes to finding a job after leaving college, the truth is that the going does get tough sometimes. That's why it's so important to have an actionable game-plan. To survive in Corporate Kenya, one needs to have access to and a mastery of a number of important tools.
  
  You need to understand how to effectively use the Internet to search job boards and career websites.
  
  You need to have a number of strong skill specific resumes. Each resume customized to the specific industry jobs you target. Be sure to write out your entire job/life experiences and skills inventory. You will need them as source material for your resumes, cover letters and job interviews.
  
  Work on your job interviewing skills through practice.
  
  Remember that a job interview is essentially a sales presentation. Research the business you're interviewing for, and what the company is looking for in an employee. The best salespeople invariably know a lot about the product and about the needs of the customer. In any job interview, the product you're selling is yourself. The more prepared you are by studying your life/work skills/experiences inventory, the stronger your sales presentation will be.
  
  You need to know how to network. You need to continue to grow your Rolodex, and how to take full advantage of all professional and social opportunities to further your career ambitions.
  
  Establish a support system. Even though you're ultimately the one responsible for landing your dream job, it helps to have friends, family and loved ones offering support during this time of transition.

  As a recent graduate, you know full well what it means to have pride in yourself and to persevere. Both are essential qualities that will help you to rise to the occasion while on your mission to find the job you want.
  
  For those of you currently employed, congratulations! But remember, it's still very important in these uncertain economic times to remember that no job lasts forever. It's a smart idea to always have some back-up plan in place. If possible, have more than one exit strategy in mind and make sure they are viable career alternatives not just pipedreams.
  
  Good Strategists know how to adapt and survive. These are essential skills to remember whenever the going gets tough on the job front.

• Getting Along With Your Boss Or Supervisor

  Posted: August 16, 2009, 8:24 pm by Advertise jobs

  Your boss may be the second most important person in your career, second only to yourself. It is a special relationship, one that can be rewarding, or painful. Don't take this important part of your career for granted.
  
  "My boss is a hothead...my boss is always out of the office or in meetings...my boss does not even know what I do."
  
  Even if one of those describes your supervisor, you can still form a meaningful partnership.
  
  "A partnership with my boss, you must be kidding!"
  
  No joke. A partnership is a mutually beneficial relationship in which both parties respect each other. Isn't this the ideal supervisor-employee relationship? It is achievable. We'll give you some good ideas that may pave the way your partnership.
  
  Before you read on, accept that your boss is human. Just like you, your boss has bad days, and makes mistakes too. You're boss brings value to the organization and to you. Even if their only value is determining your next pay increase and whether or not you are approved for a promotion.
  
  A Little Research Helps
  
  Know your boss' pet peeve? Now you know what to avoid.
  
  What are his biggest issues? Here's your chance to solve them.
  
  What info they need and when needed. Starting to see a pattern?
  
  What makes your boss valuable to her boss? Help her shine.
  
  What is the hot item at your company? Make sure you are in sync.
  
  Pay Attention to Style
  
  How does your boss like to be updated, or alerted? (e-mail, voicemail, drop by) Make sure you work around his preference.
  
  Does your boss prefer a formal weekly meeting, or a spontaneous discussion? Whatever the case, follow the lead.
  
  Does your boss require the whole story, brief highlights, or quick report and documentation ready if needed?
  
  Building Trust and Confidence
  
  Rather than take action without permission and apologize later, know your authority and stay within it.
  
  Be aware that you are one piece of the puzzle. Don't take more than your fair share of your boss' time.
  
  Don't dump problems at your boss' doorstep. Instead, present the issue and your plan for solution.
  
  Keep your boss posted. Nobody likes to be blindsided.
  
  Don't go over your boss' head, or steal glory from your boss. Respect communication channels set by your boss. In return you'll likely be rewarded.
  
  When talking to or about your boss, avoid "us/them" statements, try using "we" instead.
  
  Anticipate your boss' needs. Become your boss' best resource. If you had a good resource, wouldn't you keep that person happy?
  
  Choose the right time for discussion, requests or questions.
  
  Above all, be loyal and sincere.
  
  Remember, you are both looking for the same things...
  Trust,
  Support,
  Communication,
  and Recognition.
  
  Good luck in building your partnership. These suggestions will not guarantee your success, but they should improve your odds.

• How To Survive A Company Strike

  Posted: August 16, 2009, 7:21 pm by Advertise jobs

  I am the spouse of an employee who just recently went on strike with his union. I can tell you from experience that it isn't always easy and that a union strike has its ups and downs. This guide will show you some of the things that you can do to keep your sanity and bills paid until the union strike is over. It may seem like a union strike is one of the hardest things that you have ever had to go through but it can be a little bit easier on you and your family. Union strikes are formed for a reason and sometimes the union comes out as the winner and other times the strike causes many companies to decline the contract. The best way to look at surviving a union strike is to just picture it as another hill in life that you must climb.
  
  Determine how long the union strike will last
  
  Just because a union strike has occurred does not mean that you are bound to lose everything that you have worked so hard to obtain. A union strike has been known to last from days into months and I hope that you planned for something like this. If you haven't then this guide is defiantly for you.
  
  How much is in your bank account
  
  If you have a habit of splurging money, right now would be a good time to stop. Every shilling counts until the union strike is over. More than likely you will not be able to receive unemployment benefits so times could get a little rough. Once you determine how much is in your bank account you should set up a true budget and stick to it.
  
  Finding work
  
  Most workers will not hire someone who is on a union strike for fear that they would end up quitting once the strike is over. Finding work might be a little difficult right now. If you are married then it might be time for your spouse to go to work until the strike is over. If you are still looking for a way to make money, consider what you can get rid of in your home to create the extra flow of income in your home such as a television.
  
  Relationships
  
  I am a person who enjoys my time alone and when someone invades my time, I often become irritated with that person. During a union strike you might find yourself arguing with your spouse or partner a lot more than usual. Get use to them being there and always try to work things out. If you find yourself not able to handle it, get out of the house for a little while and keep in mind that the union strike is bound to end some time.
  
  The good news about union strikes is that they often don't last that long but they can and once the strike is over the unions have been known to come out on top. The reason for a union strike is so that the individuals can try to get what they want.
  
  The bad news about a union strike is that it can become very frustrating and some union strikes have went on for months but this is not likely to happen before someone either in the union strike or in the negotiating committee decides that it is time to negotiate and come up with a compromise to end the union strike.
  
  In short,union strikes and many unexpected employments events must be prepared for. always think in advance what would happen if you are to lose your job,get a transfer, company closes down etc. Preparation is key.

• Kenya Airways (KQ): What does a company strike mean?

  Posted: August 16, 2009, 6:51 pm by Advertise jobs

  When a company goes on strike, many people other than just the employees and their families are affected.
  
  Depending on where you live, or whether or not you work for a union will reflect some of your opinions about unions. If your business is dependant on a union plant for any of your business will also determine what you think about strikes. The majority of striking workers are in union
  plants, there maybe rare exceptions to this. But I would venture to say that most strikes are done in plants or companies with unions.
  
  Now the reasons that a union will decide to strike are many and varied some have very valid reasons for striking such as safety concerns. Some just want higher wages or more benefits. So what does it mean short tem when a company has workers who decide to strike for whatever reason? Well number one it means that the strike is costing someone money. The longer the strike lasts the more money it's costing someone.
  
  Then depending on how long that the strike lasts will determine who else ends up paying for a strike. If the strike lasts very long a lot of people will be affected.
  
  An extended strike can affect a whole economy if it lasts long enough.
  
  So you may wonder just what the striking workers hope to accomplish with a strike, and why the employers don't just fire everyone that's on strike. Then hire new workers to replace the old ones. Who are not happy with the pay or working conditions?
  
  Is because it costs the company more to retrain new workers than it does to just keep the workers they already have.

• Kenya Airways (KQ) workers call off their strike after a 20% Salary increment

  Posted: August 16, 2009, 6:43 pm by Advertise jobs

  Kenya Airways (KQ) workers have called off their strike, after reaching an agreement of an interim 20 per cent salary increment with the airline’s management.
  
  This followed a series of meetings held on Saturday between the Aviation and Allied Workers Union, representing the workers, and KQ management.
  
  The pay agreement will be staggered in two phases, 10 per cent of which will be paid this year and the remainder next year.
  
  On Saturday night, trade union officials and KQ management were locked in tense negotiations to resolve the deadlock that could have taken a huge toll on the reputation of the national carrier and cost the economy millions of shillings.
  
  The two groups held a joint press conference on Sunday morning at a Nairobi hotel to announce the return to work formula following the negotiations that had been mediated by the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) and Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE)
  
  While announcing the decision to call off the strike, Aviation and Allied Workers union General secretary Mr Jimmy Masege accepted the interim package and called for the need for urgent job evaluations for union members.

• Kenyan Graduate: Find A Job Without Interview Hassles

  Posted: August 7, 2009, 3:12 pm by Advertise jobs

  If office employment has become elusive, how about some work that won’t need you to go through a rigorous interview followed by a regret letter?
  
  In fact, you could even start before you graduate from college. This is about multi-level
  marketing, which gained prominence locally more than 15 years ago. Don’t mistake it with the fraudulent pyramid schemes.
  
  Genuine multi-level marketing, also known as network marketing, is different. In this, companies recruit sales people who make money by buying and selling products and by interesting other people to join the team.
  
  Entry level is a registration fee and the initial purchase of products for direct sale to consumers.
  Depending on how you pick it up from there, you will have yourself a paying job. “As a sales person, you are able to make a profit, and at the same time earn commission
  when you introduce other people to the network,” explains Miriam Kanana, a multi-level marketer for two years.
  
  In this business, you earn more as your network widens and depending on the individual
  performance of the people you have introduced. This structure is what creates confusion between multilevel marketing and pyramid schemes. In multi-level marketing, according to Ms Kanana, everyone stands the chance to benefit. It all depends on individual performance, unlike
  in pyramid schemes where only the top few benefit for a short period before the structurecollapses, mostly due to the fact that payments to the lucky few are simply derived from others’ registration fees. In multi-level marketing, each salesperson works with
  the people they have introduced to the system to help them achieve their sales and networking targets.
  
  Companies that have driven this kind of marketing locally include GNLD and QuestNet. Oriflame is the most recent entrant. To join as a network marketer, all that is required of you is to register with a certain amount of money and purchase a minimum amount of goods for sale. As you go along, you are encouraged to introduce other people to the company.
  
  You then gain points that drives you up the ladder. The initial capital is not as intimidating as it would be to set up a business. In Oriflame, for instance, you will register with Sh900 and then buy products in order to gain points. Registration with Quest- Net costs Sh800, after which you must buy products of a certain amount to be confirmed.
  
  These companies don’t ask for any professional qualifications. It is an environment in which professors and people with much less professional qualifications push business the same manner. The companies operate on the basis of engaging as many people as possible to drive volumes in bits rather than employing a few sales staff and giving them huge targets that may not be met. But marketer must have loads of drive to succeed. The job requires patience and persistence to keep working until the work is done.

• African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA) Nairobi Kenya Conference: My Achievement

  Posted: August 6, 2009, 12:34 pm by Advertise jobs

  I am a mother of nine, and an employee and shareholder of Ecosandals, a community-owned artisan group in Nairobi’s Korogocho slums.
  
  Today, with the help of the African Growth and Opportunities Act (Agoa), we sell fashionable, environmental-friendly footwear in five continents.
  
  
  And I use technology from our Kariobangi workshop to sell products directly to customers and retail stores worldwide.
  
  But I believe today’s Agoa should be different from that of 2000.
  
  Agoa should work to create ownership by the poor, not just employment for the poor. This would change Kenya, and the Mathare, Korogocho, Kibera and Kangemi slums, in ways the talk shop that is the Agoa conference can hardly imagine.
  
  Nine years ago I was a mother living in Huruma, Nairobi, struggling to feed and clothe my family on an income of Sh3,000 - pitiful even by Kenyan standards.
  
  I had just adopted my late sister’s four children and, when added to my five biological kids, the financial burden weighed heavily on me.
  
  Then US Congress passed the Agoa law, and my life changed.
  
  Like many others across the continent, Agoa has given me gainful self-employment, through part ownership of a global business, alongside my co-workers.
  
  If Agoa’s goal is to create employment by giving businesspeople in Africa access to the American market, the US should know that in Africa, the rich get richer, while the poor become poorer.
  In Korogocho and Huruma, we want more than employment. We want ownership.
  
  Agoa can provide a vision for mothers like me to be quality owners and good shareholders, not just employees.
  
  Shortly after Agoa was created, I accepted employment at Ecosandals, a company co-owned by its slum dwelling employees, and American investors.
  
  The unique relationship we have with our customers, who buy from us directly online and in stores across America, is one that enables us to make sandals that we sell for us much as $44 a pair (Sh3,400 at current exchange rates).
  
  That is more money than many families make in an entire month in Korogocho. By lowering trade barriers, Agoa makes it easier for us to sell directly to Americans, and for that we thank the US Government.
  
  Americans who make policies should know that Africa is a rich continent. But it is also an unequal continent. If Agoa only encourages the wealthy in Africa to hire cheap local labour and sell finished products to America, inequality will only get worse.
  
  Today, in the world of Twitter, Facebook and Blackberry phones, a small group in Korogocho slums can build a global brand.
  
  But to do that, they need technical infrastructure, capacity building and education.
  Agoa should focus on creating ownership and wealth for them, through education on the opportunities for global trade that it represents.
  
  The trade hub programme, with three offices in Africa that offer valuable trade links to America, should be spread out to all slums, and the villages around Marsabit and Kisii.
  
  Ecosandals sent its first shipment to America in 2001. It was stopped at the border in New York, and we did not know what to do.
  
  We had never heard of Agoa. Fortunately, our American friend wrote to the then Senator, Hillary Clinton of New York (now US Secretary of State). Her office educated the American customs officials about Agoa, and we have not had problems exporting to the US since then.
  Other producers across Africa deserve the same access we have had. The first step is to educate every artisan group on Agoa.
  
  They should understand how to label their products and their packing slips. The American Trade Hubs and the Kenyan Export Promotion Council have been effective in introducing us to Agoa.
  Our most popular pair of Ecosandals footwear says, "Ndio tunaweza" on the left foot and has the translation, "Yes We Can", on the right one.
  
  We see Agoa as change we all can believe in.

  Project Coordinator
  Medical Emergency Relief International (Merlin)
  Closing date: 04 Sep 2009
  Location: Sudan (the)
  
  Overview
  
  Responsible To: Deputy Country Director
  Works With: International and National Merlin Staff
  Location: Kalma, South Darfur
  Contract Duration: 1 year
  Starting Date: ASAP
  
  Salary & Benefits: Between £17,798 and £20,023 per annum dependant on relevant experience, an annual cost of living allowance of £5,366, insurance cover, accommodation and return flights.
  
  Only short-listed applicants will be contacted. Due to the urgency of this position, applications will be short listed on a regular basis and we may offer this post before the closing date.
  
  Please note that this is an unaccompanied position.
  
  Merlin International Profile
  
  Merlin specializes in health, saving lives in times of crisis and helping to rebuild shattered health services. Each year, Merlin helps more than 15 million people in up to 20 countries.
  
  Context and Background
  
  The goal of the Sudan mission is to address humanitarian and health crises within Sudan, with particular focus on Darfur (Western Sudan) while increasing capacity of local structures to deliver effective and quality primary health care services.
  
  Over two million people are now thought to have been displaced since the commencement of hostilities in the Darfur region, many of whom continue to be in acute need of emergency assistance. These needs are further exacerbated by seasonal rains & food shortages due to interruptions of agricultural cycles. Developments at the peace process level may initiate population returns in certain areas, while other areas continue to experience displacement.
  
  Merlin has been working in Darfur since late 2004, and currently runs 4 projects across South Darfur. Merlin’s primary health care interventions provide quality services through both static and outreach mobile clinic services. Activities increase community-level access to health care by establishing static primary health clinics in former mobile clinic locations, and starting new mobile sites where population movements indicate severe need. The programme will also extend health education: Merlin believes that preventive health care has significant impacts on health status. This is embedded in a context where Merlin collaborates closely with Sudan’s Ministry of Health and other government agencies for material and human resource support for projects. The focus for 2009 will be the continuation of the primary health care provision within the areas Merlin is already supporting with the addition of nutritional support on a CTC basis.

  Key responsibilities here include:
  
  1. 1.Provide strategic input to the Audience Insights department across a range of areas
  • As a senior member of the Audience Insights team, managing one of GND’s priority regions, provide input and expertise in determining the overall shape and priorities of the department’s activities.
  • Lead and manage a range of projects, both quantitative and qualitative to increase management’s understanding of the various services’ audiences.
  • Using knowledge and understanding of the African market, devise and manage studies to support and grow GND’s influence and audiences in the region.
  
  2. Manage BBC World News and BBC World Service’s audience measurement within Africa
  • Responsibility for analysis of regular audience measurement data and assessment of results to identify key trends to support advertising sales, distribution, business development, and reporting for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).
  • Work with syndicated research suppliers to ensure that BBC interests are considered and to input to the strategic development of industry recognised studies.
  • Represent BBC World News in meetings with syndicated research surveys and with other media owners on joint projects.

  • Work with the marketing department to provide accurate audience data and insights for trade related materials
  • Act as spokesperson for Global News Division in Africa on audience-related subjects including conducting interviews in the media.
  
  Nature and scope
  
  1. Job context
  BBC World News is a commercial news channel within the BBC’s Global News Division (GND). It operates across the major regions of the world. BBC World Service is an audio and online network funded by Grant in Aid from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). It also sits within the BBC’s Global News Division. BBC.com/news is the international-facing news website, which forms the last audience-facing part of the GND.
  
  
  2. Problems faced
  Audiences are global, but clustered among specific targets and markets. Data is available to measure them, but expensive, sometimes inaccurate and without the confidence of clients or other stakeholder organisations. It often has to be developed in collaboration with competitors. Emerging problems with both recall surveys and standard meter measurement, along with changing patterns of media consumption, mean that research must adapt while retaining the confidence of users. The Audience Insights Manager, Africa has to be able to sell ideas to clients and other stakeholders, internal and external who are sceptical and demanding. In the very challenging competitive market in Africa where BBC World News has low reach and is not significantly regionalised, the measurement, analysis and presentation of data has to be very persuasive.
  
  
  3. Planning and organisation
  Given the size of client departments, seasonality of audience needs, and the scope of the markets covered, the position requires careful planning and management of expectations. Clear processes and timelines are required for projects. With some clients, the role moves beyond those of the traditional research practitioner and towards relationship building and consulting.
  
  
  4. Direction receives and working contacts
  The position reports to the Head of Audience Insights, but supervision is likely to be low and the post holder will need to act independently, take the initiative and propose strategic direction for the market. Key internal clients are mostly at the senior level, mostly operating in a different BBC division (BBC Worldwide) while external contacts can be senior clients. The role extends far beyond the provision of data, and includes a range of advice both strategic and tactical. Training and career development in leadership, negotiation and sales would be appropriate.
  
  Experience/Skills Required:
  
  Experience
  
  • Substantial research across a range of disciplines
  
  Technical Skills
  • Technical proficiency and good numeracy
  • PowerPoint, Excel both to a high level of expertise
  • Excellent computing, keyboard and database management skills, and experience using analysis software for cross-tabulations and advertising campaign analyses – Telmar/ IMS
  
  Imagination/ Creativity
  • Presentational flourish - ability to turn numbers into graphic sales arguments
  • Willingness to suggest alternative methods and change current practice
  • Someone excited by the challenge of coming up with creative solutions for clients at short notice, and with limited budgets
  
  Knowledge
  • Familiarity with BBC World News and BBC World Service’s competitive, global, environment, in particular the sales and distribution arenas.
  • Understanding of the role played by audience measurement in sales and marketing
  • Understanding of principles of marketing and marketing research
  
  Communication skills
  • Confidence in presentation-giving and in contact with clients and other internal and external stakeholders
  • Persuasive communication skills, and ability to adapt to the audience
  • Ability to maintain and develop relationships with a range of people
  • Fluent in English and at least one of: Swahili or Hausa.
  
  Interests
  • Passion for both the role of news in general, and the BBC in particular, in the lives of its audiences.
  • Interest in the sales process, and in the thrill of competing on a global stage
  
  Competencies
  
  Creative Thinking - able to transform creative ideas into practical reality. Can look at existing situations and problems in novel ways and come up with creative solutions.
