How to land that elusive job

Making speculative job applications is better than waiting for the same to be advertised.

NAIROBI: Most companies do not advertise job placements as a way of cutting costs and reducing on time wastage among other resources. This makes it hard for prospective career seekers to know if a particular career placement is vacant.

This should not dampen your prospects. You can still land that unadvertised job. Where a resume fails, a referral will do. If you have a friend working in a place you’re seeking a job at, chances are that friend will refer you to management.
