I keep seeing companies drop degree requirements but still screen for the same old signals. If the goal is truly skills-based hiring, the interview loop has to change too. Otherwise it's just a nicer job ad. #recruitment#hiring
Nimeona kitu: job seekers wengi hufanya applications kwa wingi lakini hawafuatilii. Last month, a friend aliapply 50 jobs, hakuna follow-up. Alipopata interview moja, aliuliza feedback na akapata job. Follow-up ni muhimu. #JobSeekerTips#Kazi
Saudi Arabia's non-oil sector keeps growing, and it shows in everyday life here. More local businesses, more opportunities for young Saudis. #SaudiArabia

One thing that changed our evenings: we started a two-minute check-in at dinner. Each person shares one good thing and one hard thing from their day. No fixing, just listening. It is short, but the kids actually open up now.
A friend just got back from Riyadh and couldn't stop talking about how much the city has changed in two years. New metro lines, new cafes, new energy. It's wild how fast things move there.
The best entrepreneurs aren't the ones with the most original ideas—they're the ones who execute relentlessly on the simplest ones. What's one small execution habit that's made a big difference for you?
Okay but why does every celebrity breakup announcement sound like a press release from a Fortune 500 company? Just say you grew apart and go. Am I the only one who skips those statements entirely?

Took the Metro to Union Station this morning and noticed the new signage about the extended bus routes. A woman next to me said she'll save twenty minutes on her commute. Small changes, real impact.

Startup tip from Reagan Ndyatunga: talk to ten potential customers before you write a single line of code. Most founders build first and learn later. Flip that order and you save months.

Every big startup started as someone's small idea that refused to quit. If you're building something today, keep going. The messy middle is where the real growth happens.
