JOB HUNTING TRAINING (CV, Application Writing and Interviews)
Statistically, Uganda has one of the highest unemployment rates of 83%
in the East African region. That’s a hard fact owing to the fact that we
actually post over 30,000 jobs annually. Following our recent survey and
engagements with employers, the highest feedback we got from them is that many
job seekers appear not to understand the job requirements of the adverts they send to us. There are many myths about recruitment
and how employers are biased or already have their people before they post the
job adverts. Strangely though, all education institutions empower us with
knowledge and skills to thrive on the job but never teach us the basics of
marketing ourselves. As a testimony, we do have a person who has changed jobs
13 times all using theugandanjobline.com as their job source for the last 6
years we have been in existence.
