Am sure there IS someone on the list that can offer her an internship ….but in what ?? data entry ??? network cable crimping?? What … what??

I think Oliver put it properly for her … state you competencies and not only may she get an internship…. She may just get a job. I know am hiring web app developers but the language must be known

Kind regards,

Paul Mwachi

I guess we are now confirming to her that list is not a serious one going by her casual employment request. Can someone on the list at least offer internship so she can learn what has been preached here!!!!!!

To the Jobseeker,

Like a few skunks have mentioned, please package your self properly, impress the employers and those who can recommend you in this fora.

We need many different types of competences and if you can be a bit specific especially on the area you have mentioned of web development i have a few leads... So its your call impress us. Show us your worth in any area of interest and we could show you the way

regards

Oliver

i agree with you Lawrence, none of us woke up and found ourselves in this field, we all learnt from someone at some point in life, i believe by encouraging her and guiding her in the right direction as nyarotho put it, albiet crudely, we are actually helping her out of what she has put herself in by quitting her job.

Wothout discouraging her she needs an internship with a good mentor...all of us we're not any far much better than her at some point in our careers.
Besides i think this is not an interview thread(If it were,too bad...may would have dropped her),let her be pls & hook her up with a placement if u can!

I try to be as encouraging as i can at all times but this doesnt mean i dont tell you the truth. Rachel, with that kind of careless writing and phrasing of your statements, i wouldnt be ready to pay you to do anything. How you present yourself tells all about how you do your work - no, dont even show us one of the websites you have done.You have to impress whoever you are targeting - where is your CV/cover letter. Diploma in IT from JKUAT? Am an alumni of that campus and i can tell you mko wengi so package yourself well. In this field affirmative action is only implemented if you match up in skills and personality.

Point 2 - In IT related careers the worst you can say about yourself is 'i can do anything in IT'. Pick a field you love and strengthen your skills there - then the jobs will follow you :)

All the best in your job search.

Guess skunkworks is informal; and by saying 'any' it may mean she is a beginner and willing to start on any line of IT work

Me thots;

though as you said; a little elaboration would go a long way.

What job would you give her?
