Hahaha lemme say this.... I went for an interview at around 22 years for the promotion jobs and guess who was my interviewer? Just Ivy! This woman is tough! (I'm not complaining) We were a group of like 10 ladies and we all failed!! We went again for a different interview which Ivy was still the boss...I got the job,got to work with her and it was the best experience. Trust me since then she became one of the women I look upto...that's way kitambo even before Over 25...
oh wow! Thank you for your kind words! Please find me on IG? I'd love to catch up.
Hahahah @ njoki I remember this interview.Ivy was very tough on us and it was for the best
@@justivyafrica4526 - Wait, if that girl was 22yrs old, (before #OVER25) then Ivy was 19yrs old, right?? Ivy is type A through and through. How do I know? Because i am too. She is what some would call an acquired taste, but once you get to know her, she is a FAIR person! I don’t care what people say about Ivy, because I think she is more than fair. Good job, Ivy. 👏 👏
I am a HR.... and I felt the attack by Julia 😂
About the CV, here is a standard format:
1. Contact info-name, email, and mobile
2. Personal profile- market yourself in a paragraph
3. Skill- both hard and soft
4. Work experience-( focus on achievement more than a whole hundreds list of responsibilities)
5. Education
6. Additional info
7. Rerences
NB: No one has time to read a lot of stories on over 100 CVs sent for a single post, because unfortunately thats how it is, so many unemployed people, one job receives hundreds of applications. An ATS software is mostly used to track keywords relevant to a job. So customise your Cv based on the job you are applying.
Thanks
Please elaborate on number four, maybe give an example? Also always wondered about the essence of a cover letter. What do you look at?
Also does tarmacking work. Like budging in offices and asking for opportunities or should you just apply online?
Also these days your LinkedIn is your resume
Hey...so how do you frame an achievement for instance? Say in a healthcare setting
@@emmamwanza2138 on work experience.. Try to indicate what you achieved in your previous position, that is if you are not a fresh graduate. By achievement it would be something like a contribution that led to better performance, an innovation, an improvement, meeting goals, etc. For example, a customer care personel could state "I developed and implemented a customer satisfaction survey tool that helped the company to measure the extent of customer satisafaction." That is a just an example.....
Does walking to offices help, I would say, there is no absolute answer for that question dear. But there is no harm in trying.
Yoooooo!!!!puchie is my baby sister!!!!!!!!she just finished university!!!!she loves you guys...she introduced me to this channel💕💕💕
I hold the HR office at my firm and I have interviewed quite a number of people. My advice on CVs is send your resume in PDF opposed to word. My take is that it's a lot like a proposal where you don't want the recipient to change aspects of your work and it is simpler to be cautious in PDF than word
In interviews I would say that most people don't respond to sad stories. Don't lean on pity for the hire. Don't cry, don't give your life story, just work with your credentials and have them rep you. So many girls cry in interviews and I think it is not the most charming way to get hired.
Parting shot, never bad mouth your previous employer
Great episode guys!
Makes allot of sense to me. Thanks for sharing
What's bad mouthing though? I feel it is quite telling to not want someone to say what their bad experiences were. You guys also need to change the narrative
I agree. Never bad mouth a previous employer at an interview no matter what. Keep all that and share it after you get the job. The company may perceive you as a potentially divisive influence, who when the going gets tough may fall back to your established habit of blaming you employer first, potentially spreading negativism and harming the morale of your coworkers
@@savanaahful Absolutely! Companies spend a lot on staff morale and they don't need a new hire to wreck that.
You could also give the idea that you're potentially litigious and no employer wants to end up at the ELRC
@@JulieMwamburi While I fully agree with you Julie, I gotta say that getting a job is like scoring a new client. Your worth is pegged on your strategy and pitch. Better to have a good one and win than have a weak one and cry foul
The Toxic & healthy work environment should be the next topic of discussion
This was educative
Yes!!! I think there is even a Kenyan Twitter account on it. @toxicworkspaces
Yes, do this topic too
Yes, please do a video on this.
I second this
This topic is hardly discussed and it affects the employee in many aspects, from morale, to mental and physical health. The saddest bit is most toxic environments are found to also underpay employees because the employers know the job situation in Kenya.
One of the painful lessons I learnt was to never assume loyalty back. You may be loyal to them but don’t expect anything from them.
Shiks I felt that story you gave of the older woman..Unfortunately broken girls become broken "older women" The best thing you can do for yourself as a young lady is to work on your brokenness...Whole girls grow into whole women and it's beautiful to watch them not only blossom, but lift others along the way ❤️
'Broken girls become broken "older women"...#facts! This transcends all corners, motherhood as well. Other people carry unresolved childhood trauma with them, from home to the workplace and aren't aware that their actions now results from things they haven't dealt with.
@Catherine Ngunjiri that's so mind-blowing to me. I used to get so absolutely shocked about older women who are mean, unaware and generally emotionally immature. Growth is not automatic. One must work on it!
The truth is that while academic education is important and helps you gain the ability to read, write, and solve mathematic problems, it doesn’t prepare you for the real world, it's your responsibility to learn more and be versatile as well. Thank you so much guys for sharing your experiences, helps a lot.❤️
Hi @pinchez maish nice to see you here
I remember in my early work years I had to quickly learn to manouvre those sexual harassment stories. I basically acted a fool and pretended I didn't get when a guy was hitting on me. I ended up being called naive and clueless and also 'virgin Mary'. But that was my mechanism, nowadays I am very clear to steer conversation towards business so guys just leave you alone.
On the sisterhood front, yo! I get that Bravado thing, I remember once I just asked my Manager what exactly the issue is because I got tired of trying to figure out why I made her so mad. And she didn't have anything of value to say and I pissed her off more for being straight up. To the point I was taken to Hr but when I asked what the exact issue is so that I can rectify, she also couldn't pinpoint it. So basically just be you, don't let anyone intimidate you. Do your job, be a team player with colleagues and maintain high performance. Watanuna, watachoka.
That thing for acting a fool is real! Keep to myself, do your work, get un and get out. You'll be called "too quiet" but it kind of works. It's also been my mechanism. And it's crazy that we even have to do this or think about it. I hope it is better for the next generation especially now that we're having these conversations openly.
This is exactly what I had to hear, in my previous job ( professional internship) I tried making friends being a terrific team player, when I did my first mishap I was immediate cut off and fired from the internship, I had only worked for a month.
Ohh! I remember having a serious confrontation with a few of my line managers when I was younger. At times I think they have their own issues, some think you are going to take their jobs and start bringing you down or creating issues for you. At times personally I believe I still had not matured emotionally to handle people and the only way was to make a scene or a big deal. I do much better now when it come to work disagreements
Q
One thing they don't teach about CVs is that there is no such thing as one size fits all. You have to cater your CV to the job and/company you are applying for.
For some, the emphasis is your education, others it's your experience, etc. You NEED to research the organization and know which one they are more interested in.
And how to sell your experience when you are younger - that attachment, that side hustle, that holiday job you went to, the hawking you do, etc. There are so many soft skills you master there, but you see CVs and someone just doesn't capitalize on the soft skill learnt on those odd jobs.
Experience does not mean white-collar job experience only.
We need a part 2 of this!!!! Addressing the workplace; the environment and how to maneuver... etc. This was good.
I'm finishing school this year.. I needed this 😭😭...

The investment industry has come a long way, back then the MMF and other liquid investments had a minimum investment amount of like Kes 1m which later changed to Kes 100k, then Kes 1k then today most do like Kes. 500 bob. This was mainly coz of the limited amount of fund managers in the country so with every new entry we got more flexible requirements coz every new player needed a market share as they joined the industry. Similar to banking and loans, new players in the market meant new ways of doing stuff. Imagine how high end banking was before Equity.
Thanks for this video. These are necessary conversations. I remember in one of my jobs the head of HR said women should stop getting pregnant because it wasn't the company's business. And yes, the head was female! Another horrible thing is that some job interviews have become hazing experiences where interviewers are looking to belittle and embarrass others.
Am cringing just thinking of someone saying something that insensitive.
I am in HR and I will tell you women are their worst enemies. HR was not first career choice. It is one of those careers I am in to make money and survive. However, I have come to love it but sadly most HR professionals who are women are known to be mean.

Mentoring is very good for fresh graduates and people who are switching careers ; coaching is for people trying to go a step higher in their career . Role model can be someone you can shadow ( see how they do what they do to emulate )
But Jules we need a makeup tutorial for this look!!
I was planting spinach on my shamba as I listened to this and it was the best planting session ever! When the discussion ended I had done way more than I thought I would thanks to how engrossed I was. Didn’t even feel the effort 😂.
These are incredibly important discussions needed to be had continuously, as you mentioned at the start! Thank you.
In this world, no one knows what they are doing. The person you wishing to be a mentor, don't think they are good enough. It is all perception.
The squad is back🔥🔥.Naona Jules hakupata memo ya all white top🤔😂. Very interesting episode(walk the talk) . Nawapenda bure💕💕.
Career readiness course is a thing guys...I live and work in Kibra and that's one of the courses our youth in Kibra are constantly going through..
From years as a hiring manager especially internationally - look into the CULTURE of the company. It’ll answer a lot of questions you brought up especially dress code and type of CV. Your cv tip to keep it brief and include an achievement is applicable world over.
Remember you’re also interviewing the company! The other side of the picture is maybe you don’t want to work for people who don’t focus on your results or have a culture that’s very far from your values and beliefs. A good hiring manager knows that the best talents are also interviewing them.
Cool episode! Fits you guys well! Happy to share more tips especially for Europe.
Ivy do aka episode on growing and saving money for young people ,it will really be helpful
True, and we have many financial opportunities out there even when you are young. You just need to be aware of them and be willing to do it. Most young people think of here and now, think bigger
Please do
Please check out her channel (JustIvy ) - there is alot of info there
The discussion on CVs was gold... Especially the fact that there seems to be no clear format or standard and it varies depending on the employer. They really should make it clear the kind of CV they want.
So back in Uni we had something we called SLV (Salt leavers something). SALT was a church ministry for youth main ly in college and in Uni and since the church was inside UON it meant 99% of the guys were in UON. Anyhu so the last year we'd have different courses by the alumni who left SALT come prepare us for the job market. We'd do like a 3 month course on CV writing, we'd do dummy interviews (proper coz the alumni were senior managers in their line of work). We'd also do courses and case studies from the alumni entrepreneurs etc. This really helped me out. The one thing i wish i was prepared for is something similar to ponyoka na fresher. We had events in school (1st month) then 3rd years would come intentionally to date or have a one night stand with freshmen. People should know that most work places are similar and prey on the freshest thing in the office.
There is always room for growth, doesn't happen in a day and you don't need to have it all figured out. Great Episode 😍
God knows how many times I skip this channel... Watched Jules vlog with Bobby... Then today I was like why not 21 minutes in and I like it here
I just learn so much each day... y'all are a version of my over 25 I want to become..much love from +255.
Lornzie, Jules, Ivy & Shikie please next show educate us on saving /Investing in shares most of us are so green on that field...#over25mondays #over25
Oh, you can also start by watching Rina Hicks on youtube. Her channel is called Money Wise, on different investments in Kenya
As Jules said, it all depends with your career. In aviation especially for pilots and flight dispatchers you have to study like literally go to your books revise every unit. Most airlines first interview is a written exam other airlines its an oral exam.
Ivy's face while Julia is speaking, is me. Kutega maskio!!
Ivy is such a keen listener. I've noticed in all these videos, she's very intentional about listening and understanding before giving her opinion.
She always listens so intently and asks great questions! 👏
@@Habibtay she really is!
I wish I knew that you are the captain of your ship...even in the workplace. You choose how far you will go in an organisation. You choose how people will treat you. You choose(to an extent) whether you will get a pay rise or not.....For a very long time, I left a lot of stuff to chance. Loooveed this episode ladies
Sooo true.... Mentorship and career growth is important. Sadly for me this realization has come almost 10 years later having done the same role in the same organization. In the beginning I was just happy I had a job. I wish it I was clear when I started my job which path I would want to follow. I am trying hard to figure out which career path to follow. For some companies it's clear for some not so much, you chat your own path. I think it's important to have a mentor or a career guidance and counselor in your life at some point.
@@rebeccamusyoki8039 so glad you have realized this at this point! It takes many people way longer!!Onward and upward from now on
One thing I regret most from my first job is the fact that I felt like the company was doing me a favour. I felt like I had zero bargaining power.
I agree with Lorna. It depends on the position you are interviewing for. Entry level position interviews are different from more senior positions. Even for some entry level positions like Management Trainees you go through like 3 stages..starting with an aptitude test, the a second and final interview. I attended an EABL one years ago, for a Management Trainees positio and wueh! First stage..3hr aptitude. Stage 2, half day activity with Group discussions and case study with presentations...!
The last point hit hard! Some women are threatened by others’ achievements and would even begin working for your disapproval.
It's unbelievable how identical African countries are and how very similar our challenges are, am watching from Uganda and I can literally relate to every single challenge you amazing ladies mentioned. 4 years after campus, I still wonder why I did the course I did. Career guidance from a very young age should be adopted.
What I have learned over the years is the difference between a CV and a Resume. First question is what does the job posting say, if you are asked for a CV provide a CV, if the job asked for a Resume provide a resume. A CV is expected to be long presents a full history of your academic credentials, so the length of the document is variable. On the other hand, a resume presents a concise picture of your skills and qualifications for a specific position, so length tends to be shorter (one page is best practice) and dictated by years of experience
Oh nice. Thanks for this.
@@sweetshazable You are welcome anytime...I am a prof...after working in many fields (& countries) so now my passion is giving back by sharing what I have learned over the years...no biases but I am more about empowering women to be learders
In JKUAT there's a programme for final years called Vuka Fyt... It was very helpful
Thank you for this insight
Alas, nilimaliza jkuat miaka NNE na sikuwahi skia
These women are knowlegeable AF! Keep educating us guys, thanks. Also, If you would, please do a full topic on the rising cases of sexual assaults.
I live in Sweden and one of the main things that make me want to stay here is the feeling of safety as a woman. Consent is non-negotiable even for things that one may not think about. For ex, at work it's common for even bosses to say sth like 'Is it okay for you to do abdc... Or... You can check on that report if you like'. The toxic patriarchy in most developing countries is so normalised and I think that is why we never really move forward. I really hope one day we will move past this. One thing I know for sure though is that in most countries where women feel safe, the government has a framework where women can report harassment and immediate action is taken. Truth is, if men are left to their own devices without accountability or consequences they will do literally anything and get away with it.
Can i ask about process for visa process?
@@lydianyawira3827 it depends on your reason for going. But it's quite straightforward if you have a specific reason like school or work.
I relate so much to what Julia is saying about sexual harrasment! The "pastors" are the worst!
Unfortunately yes! I met a couple of those pastors after high school🤦♀️
@@cathythuo8606 it's truly soo sad! After high school?? You were soo young..pole sana
@@krystynmugenyu4373 thanks! I told my mum about one of them and she only believed me when one of the other girls from my church ended up pregnant for him yet he was a married man!🤦♀️
Jules you are so right about interviewing in the US and UK is so much more intense (I have interviewed and worked in Kenya, US, and UK). One thing I found is that in Kenya most times pple start working after college or after 18, as opposed to majuu interview practice starts in highschool at 16 (legal working age)
Ivy loves money and I LOVE IT! In her words..."I would not mentor someone for free."
1. Yes to financial skills are a basic skill!!
2. Negotiating salary esp.for youngins we underrepresent ourselves ..too much! Maybe shyness?
Thanks guys 💛🙀
Y'all are glowing😭sheeesh!
Love the video
A CV should contain at least 5-7 roles and responsibilities per role you have held or at least a brief description of the activities you do/have done at the role, remove ID number, gender, marital status, tribe and all these bio data. Your cv and cover letter should be relevant to the job you are applying for and have achievements like Julia said. Save as pdf with your last name then first name.
Before an interview, do market research to help in negotiating the salary. Do research on how to answer questions like strengths, weaknesses, motivation to work at the company and this can be found in the job description of the role.
Be as calm as possible and view the job as a conversation because that is all it is.
Good stuff.
Finance field interviews are no joke, Yoh!
Any insight you could give to help a siste rout on the same, kindly? I'm about to dive into this field and i just do not know how to. Please Isabella, if you decide to do so, kindly find me @calvin.lulu on IG. I will be so humbled to hear from you.
Ivy is just goals. I love her so much.
Me too
You've said you wish you knew then what you know now about money and I'm here wondering what it is that you know. Could you kindly do an episode on that? I'm sure it'll be helpful to many of us. Thanks.
She (Ivy) says alot about this on her channel, (JustIvy); check it out.
The audio is remarkably improved 👏
Also, how do I see myself in Ivy everytime? Or maybe i see who I want to be,I don't know😊
I think this is the most empowering episode from you. It just opened my eyes on things that I have experienced or seen other people go through in the work environment, rn I can look back and think "..omg, that was sexual harassment'' and I had no idea at that point in time. Another frustrating category are the ones who think they can order you around in the workplace and you cant say anything coz of "Respect for Elders", wtf. I remember this one time a colleague of mine who is even younger than me thought that it was okay, and I had to explain to her why it is not okay coz your opinions matter and how other people treat you and make you feel also matters.
Yaaasss!!! Came looking for a new video only to see you posted 3 minutes ago!!
Let's go! #Over25Mondays 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Thanks for doing an entire hour for us.. woooww. Like before you watch guys❤️
I think what we need to learn the following in order to find some job or even freelance:
Public Speaking, Project Management, Negotiation, Conflict Resolution, Software development, Accounting, Financial planning, Critical thinking, How to mentor, Business plan Dev, People management and Customer service. These are some of things that our high school curriculum lacks. If we have such reforms in our curriculum a majority of high school graduates will be finishing high school and they can start working while studying in campus.
These convos are so raw and I can't help myself than being absorbed into them.
Finance interviews are extremely technical. You have to study. The first one is usually written ,which is basically text book knowledge and then the second one they will throw in technical questions here and there.
Ivy, We don't know things about money and investments just because we did finance 😭😭😭. I am also on the struggle of figuring out where to keep my money for it to grow ....it's like all this info is a secret 😭😭

Thanks for doing this episode, currently trying to negotiate my pay raise and I have taken note of things that I should highlight while prepping for the discussion. Love from Nigeria
In the US, the resume is the one page long one especially if you don’t have too much experience, if you have like more than 5 or 10 years, then you can exceed one, then the CV is the longgggg detailed one

Hapo kwa mentors! I totally agree with Jules and Ivy! I am still looking for one and also a mentee. Coz I think it's important to pull someone. And yes you need someone who has chemistry with.... so finding one can be tricky
The topic I would love you to cover is your personal life struggles
I’ve been lucky. I’ve ONLY ever worked with awesome babes at work. Leaders, peers, subordinates. So they exist. I am one of them.
I'm in HR. This was a good topic other than the stereotype that female bosses are bad.
One or two women judged them (especially Lornzie's point) and they made it an "all women thing" but when one or two men sexually harrased them they judged them as individuals..... This is a societal problem that's extended to the workplace and needs to stop! Like Ivy said, there bad female bosses and good female bosses ditto to men. Speaking from experience as well....
Also, some men will send women to tell other younger women they need to dress more decently or give any other feedback and make it a women problem.....not all you see meets the eye.
Don't forget you're women as well, are you saying you're /will make bad bosses because of the fact?
On C.V.s, find a sweet middle ground, avoid personal details (and photos unless requested) as they can be used as grounds for bias; lessen the description of the job (only key points); and have key achievements listed as succinct points (unlike my post hehe). Don't have long repetitive sentences; list your referees, *don't write* available on request.
Also make the CV visually appealing and not too crowded, google various formats. And don't make it long, for entry positions, max two pages!
A CV should be unique just like you're a unique individual, there's no all fits one formula.
All the best!
Ivy is such a great listener!!!!

There are work readiness and mentorship programs here in Kenya, absolutely free. They generally prepare you for the outside world, job market in this case. An example is Jijali by Yusudi Africa.
Absolutely free and very important.
I've attended Yusudi, it isn't completely free but it's really helpful especially for fresh graduates.
Though I did mine before Jijali was launched so might be free
Eyyyyyy, just found this channel and boooom I love it.... The 2nd lady from the one with a red top, her voice🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am seeing sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much growth in all of you!! I am a whole 40-something lady and I always enjoy your content!
Great topic. I think to add on this you can talk about the office snitches. People that get favors/promotions purely based on how much they can snitch on their colleagues, anything from professional to personal details. This crop of people are lethal in workplaces
Career coaching is also very helpful- find someone you trust and admire
Please do more spin offs about job searching and marketing yourself. I wish Jules would give examples of questions asked in UK interviews and his she answered them
Your ROI and UVP are what will determine how fast you rise in your career , also when going into a job think about what you want to achieve
This is definitely going to help me... I'm 22......just about to get into the job market
Omg same graduated last year dec and I'm actively looking for a job lakini wapi it's tough out here 😭

This will be so inspiring I can't wait to watch this, and a whole hour, wooooow, nothing could make my Monday better.

Jules, we have the same first jobs. Route seller but in Mombasa... O God !!!! Felt the exact same way
8:03 aiiii??? Idk what industry Jules is in, but interviews here are NO JOKE if it’s a finance-related role. Even some marketing ones are intense af.
I once applied for an internship and had to go through *FOUR 1-HOUR INTERVIEWS* which were extremely hard, consisting of technical + behavioral aspects. + I’ve never attended an interview that was shorter than an hour (unless it was the final one kabisa)
Maybe Jules was favoured coz of her UK education background - which companies do a lot sadly
Edit: yea, it’s because you’re all in marketing. Ask finance and accounting guys about their experience, mtalia
Wow, I want to venture the finance world. Kindly give me tips on how to pass those interviews
@@aggymaina4444
1. Research the company. Most companies have websites. Visit them and understand what they do, the products/services they offer
2. If it’s an international company, you’ll probably find interview formats on google or YT. Just search for example “Deloitte Interview structure”. You’ll get insight into the types of interviews they conduct. Could be purely technical or a mix of technical and behavioral. Also on the technical part, some companies have certain types of questions they ask, so that google search may help you
3. Read the job description and think of ways you can demonstrate those skills even from school experience. Again, YT can help greatly with this. Just search “how to demonstrate experience as a fresh graduate” or something like that
4. It would help if you could find someone who already works in the said company and ask for some guidance. LinkedIn is a great place to reach out to people if you don’t have their contacts or don’t know them that well
Really nice show 👏👏I watch your show any time I am able. I have a really tough time getting a job right now it's been four years since I was last employed. I believe i could offer this world so much more than I currently am. My journey to unemployment has been really sad due to alcohol issues I am a recovering alcoholic 2 years 4 months sober now and I feel that if you gave an opportunity to be on your show I would give your viewers some insight on what not to do especially for the young professionals watching and I might also get a chance to rejoin the workforce. I know you guys have alot to do but you would be helping out one of your viewers and from what I learnt from your show you really try to help where you can. Thank you again .
WE NEED THIS ONE TO BE A SERIES. PLEASE PEOPLE. PLEASE

I have done the DrinkIQ test and scored 9/10 . And the reason I’ve scored that is because I’m very cautious when it comes to drinking. I drink occasionally, that’s like ones in 3 months.
