Kelvin, in addition to the advise you've received, when you create the professional email, on your profile please use a professional picture of yourself as opposed to having someone else's photo on there.

The devil is in the details :-)

All the best in your search.

Regarding your industrial attachment query, this organization actually helps students get attachment in organizations. If you haven't heard of NITA (National Industrial Training Authority). please check out the portal and also share with others who may be in the same dilemma. http://www.nita.go.ke/itap/

ITAP - Industrial Training Attachment Portal is a web portal designed to link students to the Industry through NITA (National Industrial Training Authority).

As a student you only require to fill an application form online, then wait for the Attachment Liasion Officer (ALO) who is based in their institution of study to verify your eligibility as a student.

NITA officials then take up the role of placing the students/lectures to the Industries/Companies which have declared slots available, for work place training.

Regards,
Susan.

Was also thinking of giving him the same advise. Your Email must at least be professional, Font and formatting too. Thankfully we did not see any short form in his mail. 

With Regards,

Christine.

And while we are at it, it is the small things that matter. When looking for a job or an attachment, it helps to create an email handle with your real name. While the name Kayvoh may sound exciting to your peers, most employers would frown on it. Just crate a new emails address with your real name, and a closely matching address and use it for jobs and other official purposes.

And also write your email with a format that closely resembles a formal letters. Employers will take notice of that. Avoid unnecessary taglines and other quotes.

I find some of these basic skills slowly escaping our youth. Maybe we need some form of mentorship to the young among us who will soon be looking to enter the job market.

Hey guys, I need an attachment to undertake as a partial requirement of the completion of my Diploma in ICT mod 1 course in the Kenya Technical
 Trainers College, and, but not necessarily as an income source. The
 attachment period is expected to be 3 months (sep-nov). Attached, is my CV.
 Anyone with an update on such opportunities, most appropriately but
not limited to Nairobi, please contact me (0791-981069, 0737-450626
 or an email to kevocb@gmail.com) Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

 Regards,
 Kelvin Gitahi.
