Patrick Muthomi, the man who resorted to ‘unconventional’ job hunting methods, has landed himself a job.
The 28-year-old university graduate took to Thika Highway on August 10th carrying a placard showing his qualifications and his contact information. His plea was simple, “please give me a job.”
Muthomi would later get numerous phone calls from potential employees asking him to send through his CV. But it was Chandaria Industries, located in Ruaraka, which finally offered him a job as an accountant.
Muthomi was excited by the opportunity and says he is looking forward to working even harder.
“You do not have to go to the road with a placard to get a job, just don’t sit in the house and claim you don’t have a job. Move from work place to work place, make calls and follow up. In the end, you will find something,” Muthomi advices job seekers.
His wife Joyce Muthomi was overjoyed by the development saying, “I knew he was going to get a job but it felt good just to hear him say it.”
