By Selipha Kihagi

Many a times we say stuff we don’t mean to or mean to say one thing but end up saying another. While this can go unnoticed in a casual environment, the workplace is more judgmental and can
easily ruin one’s career.

So, if there was a promotion you were well suited for but your junior got it, stop blaming your employer. You may have said either of these 5 things at the office.

What Not To Say in The Workplace

1. That is not my job
Your co-worker has probably asked you to help out on a task or you’ve been requested to handle an issue that is not in your job description. While it is okay to say no, it will be unprofessional of you to reply in this manner. Be polite, for example, you can say you’d like to help but you’re working on a particular task – be specific.

2. I can’t do anything about that
This is an attitude that is not acceptable in any workplace. Employers want to work with optimistic minds, people who will go extra lengths to complete difficult tasks and saying this portrays you as being negative. You can say good bye to that promotion.

3. I’m not sure…but I think
This statement may be true, but your team members and boss need to work with someone who knows what they are talking about. If you are not sure about something, table it like a matter of discussion. Say it like you know for sure – even when you don’t. That way, no one will be quick to mistrust an idea.

4. I don’t have time for that
Well, if you never have time to perform an extra task that is important to the organisation and you
are arrogant enough so say it, chances are you’re already in the next lay-off list. Also, none of your
co-worker will have good things to say about you.

5. In this company, it is done like thisAnyone who says this has clearly shut their mind to creativity and innovation. You want to follow the
old ways of doing things even when there is a new and more effective way of doing the same thing.
Employers want people who challenge conventional ways –  even if they don’t say it

Do not miss out on a promotion because you were too quick to speak, always think about what you intend to say.

“I have been shortlisted and called for an interview, but the salary they are offering is way too low. I’m not sure I want to earn such an amount”writes Dama Mwaro In an Email.

First things first; Congratulations for getting the call for the interview this was a big hurdle. Do you
share the same predicament as Dama? Not to worry, there is a solution to this.

“It is possible to negotiate an advertised salary when you attend an interview, but there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it,”says Justus Ng’etich, a recruitment manager at corporate staffing services.

How exactly do you successfully request and get the advertised salary raised in your favor without being perceived to only be after the money?

How to get the salary you want during the interview
1. Show you are competent

Answering the questions posed as eloquently and precisely as possible will give you a platform to request for a higher salary. This is because the interviewer will see that you are worth the salary that you are asking for.

Hiring someone is usually an investment of sorts. Prove to a potential employer that you are an
investment worth making.

ALSO READ >>> Why You Need The Help Of An Interview Coach

2. Be realistic
Do not demand for a salary that you know you do not deserve. Your qualifications and experience are what will help you gauge the range of how much you should be paid. Do not be over ambitious as this will go a long way in ensuring that you do not even get considered for the job.

3. Request, do not demand

The interviewer is human too. Explaining why you deserve to have a salary increment and why, will be well received. However, you have to back it up with concrete facts and examples of your abilities and accomplishments. Do not act entitled and belittle the salary being offered. This is a time for you to humbly request your potential employer to empathize with you.

Next time you see that job advert you want to apply for and see a less than appealing salary, don’t shy away. Apply and when you get called for the interview, prove you are worth more than they are offering.

By Selipha Kihagi

If you haven’t been to a job interview, you might underestimate what is expected of you. You also might prepare in all the wrong ways and end up making a fool of yourself in the interview room.

To avoid this, it is always important to seek the advice of a professional coach who will take you through the necessary steps depending on the position applied for as well as company.

“Interview coaching is very important for jobseekers, especially at entry-level because candidates have not been to an interview setting before. It prepares you for what is to come and gives you the confidence you need,” says Melody Mwendwa, an Interview Coach at Corporate Staffing Services.

Why Is Interview Coaching Important?

1. You become more confident
Whether you are new in the job market or you have been to various job interviews before, anxiety is a key determinant to all and it can bring down your confidence.
For this reason, seeking the help of an interview coach will be your solution. They take you through the interview questions to expect and guide you towards providing the best answers.

2. You are able to understand job requirements better
Sometimes even after applying to a job and being called to the interview, you are not clear about the roles required for the job. Some employers are more specific while others scanty, and this might be a challenge when preparing for the interview. You end up rehearsing for the wrong questions. To avoid this, consult a professional and be certain of what is to come.

3. Future Interviews become a walk in the park
Your first interview may be your worst nightmare, especially if you really want the job and are not sure if you’re well prepared. Instead of going for an interview with doubt, it is advisable to engage a professional coach to be sure. It will only take 1 hour of your time, but will be of use to future interviews.

In a job market like Kenya’s, it is important that you are one step ahead of other jobseekers. Give the employer a reason to hire you by knowing what you want and working towards it.

Make friends with recruiting firms and you will not be sorry. All the best in your next interview.

ACTION AFRICA HELP KENYA (AAH Kenya) is a non-governmental organization that addresses development challenges in partnership with marginalized Kenyan communities mainly living in low income urban and rural settings including arid and semi-arid areas (ASALs). AAH Kenya is an affiliate country programme of Action Africa Help International (AAH-I), which has been operating in the East and Southern Africa region for more than 20 years implementing programmes in South Sudan, Uganda, Zambia, Somalia and Kenya.

AAH Kenya is currently implementing two projects in Kenya that involve livelihood activities. The main objective of these projects is to ensure that the communities have the opportunity to engage in economic activities and acquire knowledge and skills essential for their development in becoming agents of change in their communities. One of the projects is the Mara economic empowerment project in the Mara region of Narok County.

For the Narok project, the special focus is on Livestock, beads and Micro, Small and Medium enterprises. A baseline study was done to assess the status of beadwork activity done in Mara in the sense of quality, quantity, designs, uniqueness and supply. From the survey, it was noted that the making and sale of beaded products is mostly successful in urban areas. Although Maasai community has done a commendable job in working to preserve its culture, their beaded jewellery and products coming from Mara has little or no place in the urban market currently owing to its low supply, poor quality, and lack of creativity in designs hence hard to meet the need and demand in the market. The Maasai bead market, like crafts is produced hand-made, with products that are culturally rooted, whose distinctive quality is an aesthetic appeal which is judged largely by the eye. Some of them also have functional and useful features like use in wedding functions but only confined to that community and locality.

The presence of middlemen trading on the Maasai products have further heightened the situation causing very minimal returns for the women who are the producers and who spend a lot of time working on the products and sell at low prices. This scenario has caused the livelihoods of rural Maasai women, whose livelihoods solely depend on the sale of their bead products, to be at stake. This trend has raised a need for interventions to a group of women in designs, innovations and linking to a ready market so as to produce quality useful products and reduce middlemen hence maximizing on the profits.

1.0CONSULTANCY

1.1Terms of Reference

AAH-I wishes to involve a designer or design house to create a collective mark of Mara Bead Brand. This will include product development and adaptation on issues like design based on market research findings and prototype making, product costing and pricing (based on market research and production realities), market testing of products, business cycle development (sequencing of processes which become standard operating procedures), product promotion and product launches.

It is not always easy for individual crafts people like bead producers to obtain consumer recognition and customer loyalty. Gaining access to retail stores, local markets and distribution networks and making their work known among consumers requires a significant investment.

It is therefore important for the Producer groups to develop a joint marketing campaign for their products using collective marks which denote the common origin of the product from those individual producers. These can also be used to promote products and help market while providing a framework of cooperation between local producers.

1.2Objectiveof the Assessment

The main objective is to guide the community in designs to deliver creative and innovative ideas in their bead work to meet the client needs in the global markets. Globalization of markets, coupled with the use of internet, has given consumers worldwide unlimited choice.

The rapidly changing tastes of consumers, add further constraints for producers and marketers. It is a growing challenge for most businesses to provide newer, better and more attractive products that catch the eye and retain the interest of the consumers. The real challenge is to be more resourceful, creative and innovative than the competitors in all aspects of business, from conceiving new ideas and transforming them into products, to marketing them in an efficient manner and earning a reasonable profit on the investment made.

How to Apply

By Sera Kazungu

There comes a time when your job is no longer appealing to you either because the salary is not enough, or the schedule is just too crazy for you. Whatever your reason, job searching while you are still employed is acceptable.

According to Dawn Rosenberg, a career planning expert at about.com , It is better to conduct a job search while you are still working because it makes you more marketable than when you are unemployed.

Are you at that point in your career where you feel like you should change jobs? What is the right and wrong way to do it?

The following are tips on how to actively job search while you are still employed

How To Job search While Still Employed

1.Do not tell anyone
If you want to keep your job, it is wise to keep your job search a secret. Some companies have a policy to fire employees who are actively job seeking. Do not compromise the job that you have on another that is still uncertain.

2. Do not use company resources to job search
Being ambitious is one thing, but using company resources is outright reckless. You may want to save on the money to go to a cyber cafe, but honestly, stop being cheap.

Job search on your own time away from the office and using your own resources. Be a smart job seeker.
While networking on social sites like LinkedIn, it is advisable to use your personal contact details. Emails or phone calls made to the company are more likely to sell you out and may cost you your job.

3. Schedule interviews wisely
Whether you say you are going to a doctor’s appointment or a meeting with a client, scheduling and attending an interview should be done wisely. A lot of caution should be used to ensure that the real purpose of your absence is not discovered. This could cost you your current job.
If you are used to dressing casually to work and then suddenly show up in a suit, chances are that you will raise suspicion. Dress normally to work and make use of public washrooms to change for the interview.

4.Keep your work and job search separate.
Job searching is tedious and requires a lot of time. Do not let your work be affected by using company time to work on applications. This could render your work wanting and could bring unnecessary attention towards you.
Perform your daily job responsibilities and when you leave , you can start on the job search. The two cannot be done hand in hand.

All the best as you set out on your new job search.
