Job Interview Tips: How To Explain Your Job Hopping

By Tabitha Makumi.
David Oliech is indeed a record breaker. He has had five jobs in a span of two years which have been a result brought about by job hopping from Mombasa to Nairobi at a promise of career growth and better pay in the procurement industry.
“I never stop job hunting even when I get a job. I believe I am very good at what I do and I shouldn’t limit myself to just one company.” His email reads
Now, you may not have broken the record like David here but you might have job hopped from one company to another at the promise of better pay or a better chance at career growth (or both) that you never for a second paused to think how the job hopping would look on your CV or when a potential employer asks in an interview…
“So David, I see in some instances you’ve spent less than three months in the companies that you worked for in the past. How do you explain this?”
If you are a job hopper, you should have the answers by your finger tips already. Be ready to justify your short employment stints with an explanation of how all your experiences have prepared you for the job at hand.
Here is how top answer this question to show it wasn’t all for nothing
1.Explain what you learnt in all the short term positions. If you listed any short term job on the CV, explain to the interviewer all the necessary skills which you managed to derive from these jobs.
For Example…. if your background is in sales, and you’ve held multiple sales positions, tell about helpful sales techniques or successful ways to connect with customers that you learned in each position.
2.Give examples of your contributions at each employer that helped prepare and qualify you for more challenging positions.
For example, if you were a mentor to new salespeople at a company and then you accepted a higher-level job as a sales team manager at a different company, it makes sense that you would change jobs
3.Summarize what you’ve learned and contributed in your previous positions and align them with your future goals at the company where you’re applying for a position.
For example, say, “With my vast experience in sales to corporations and individuals and my successful mentoring and management experience for individuals and teams, I know I would be an asset as a district sales manager for your company.”

Career Advice Tips:.3 Vital Things To Consider Before Your Internship Ends

By Tabitha Makumi
You’ve had a great internship experience (or maybe not so great), you’ve learnt  new things  about  your chosen career path and admit it, you are not the same person that you were six months ago.
Slowly your internship is gradually coming to an end you are wondering…..what now? And while you are thinking of ending that internship, you ought to remember that ending an internship on a professional note is one of the most valuable and best things an intern can do.
So what should be on your list? Here is what….
Speak up if you’re job hunting.
Are you hoping to get a job with that company? SPEAK UP…you never know.
You can do this by asking your supervisor for a meeting to discuss the long-term employment opportunities which are available now or in the future.  In that meeting, sell yourself and the work you’ve done, and how well you fit in within the company culture.
As a smart job seeker, you should ask the hiring manager about the best way to keep in touch should any positions open up in the future.
Find ways to stay on their radar even if they don’t have any positions open at the moment. You can follow up in a few months and provide any updates on your end about newfound interests or skills.
2. Ask for honest feedback about your performance as an intern
Were you a lousy intern or were you that intern who the company is going to feel a pinch if they let you go?……ASK!
You will want to know how you did and you need to do to improve on your performance. If you have enjoyed your internship and you feel like you’ve been a valued member of the team, you may already know how the company feels about you.
On the other hand, if you are not sure about your performance on the job or if you wonder why other interns have received recommendations or even a job offer, you may want to check so that you understand, what did I do wrong?!
3. Make sure you tie up loose ends before you vamoose
If you’re working on a project that extends past your last day, go the extra mile and create a status report of where you’re leaving it…why? You don’t want to leave your supervisor in the dark now.
It’s vital to put all of your effort into your internship up to the very last day. Don’t become a slacker who is counting the day until they can leave the place.
This will only leave a bad impression of who you are and will cause the employer to question your work ethic in the long term….and you don’t want that especially if you are considering getting  job there.
