Patronas.... Kenya's fast paced telecoms industry has no time for foundation classes (CV writing, cover letters etc) - i believe Rachel appreciates what we are telling her. Jobs and even internships are not just dished out like bananas during Moi's time - you've got to stand out (not even necessarily with your technical skills) Why am i speaking like i know it all? its because i went through a similar experience. Two years ago, Theus Owicho (a member of this list) asked me to pass my CV to him for an internship. I told him this "I only have hard copy, nikuletee wapi tao?". That did it for me....i missed the opportunity.But i learnt that i have to be proactive and above AVERAGE in life skills!. It exposes quite a lot.....some even post their applications here thinking skunkworks is a person/company. Yet when you go through their flashy CVs the only IT thing they might have a slight problem in doing is turning a CRT into a Touchscreen! As i said, "babysit me today, tommorow you will babysit me and my kids" On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 12:28 PM, Garr Patronas <garr.patronas@gmail.com>wrote:
Seems skunkworks has turned into an ivory tower occupied by know-it-all, have-it-all Alpha geeks.
Dear ALPHA GEEKS, Please be kind enough to tell us how you ended up at your current position of <sarcasm>experience, unbounded knowledge and influence</sarcasm>, without starting out at a level similar to Rachels ?? Thank you.
Yours sincerely, Pissed-off Patronas <flame suit: "on">
