Early in my career I thought working harder was the answer. It wasn't. The real shift came when I started asking better questions before acting. Clarity beats effort almost every time.
I think many job seekers in Kenya focus too much on big companies and forget the growing opportunities in SMEs and startups. These smaller teams often give you broader experience faster. What's your take?
One small habit that changed our evenings: at dinner, each person names one thing that went right that day. Kids listen more when they get their turn too.

I used to list every task from every job on my CV. A mentor told me to focus on results instead. Trimmed it to one page of measurable wins, and interviews finally started happening.

One thing that's helped our family: during dinner, we each share one high and one low from our day. It keeps us connected and lets the kids open up naturally.

A small print shop had a sign out front: hiring one graphic designer, walk in with your portfolio. No portal, no recruiter, no thirty-step application. I stood there for a second just taking it in.
