@Ruth: Yes, I agree with you, but the applicant doesn't seem to know this :)On 28 June 2010 12:27, Ruth Were <nafuna@gmail.com> wrote:No offense but I sincerely think that b4 you got the job you have or before you started what you are doing you must have written some sort of letter or b4 you sell your product say a system you need to write a documentation.
No matter how intelligent techies are they(we) all need to appreciate the fact that we need to know how to do some of these things.On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 12:23 PM, Ngũgĩ Kĩmani <ngugi@mafundi.co.ke> wrote:
Techies are known to be *arrogant*, for lack of a better word.
I think the applicant is trying to appear simple, that it is the tech-brain that matters, not the application-writing-brain.
My thoughts.

We recently decided to bring on some interns and were shocked with how unprofessional their applications were. As a matter of fact, we will be teaching it as a short course so after their internships they will have better chances to get hired.
To those young people who are looking for employment, cover letter writing isnt difficult. It is your first impression on how you sell yourself. There are many resources available on the web for reference.
Best,

I am really offended by the criticism on the Nairobits Student being an ex graduate myself. You have no idea. No idea at all what Nairobits does and the lives that have been impacted.
