Work is personal in Kenya. It is how you pay school fees, build a home, support a family, and prove to yourself that the effort was worth it. But Kenya’s job market is competitive, fast-moving, and full of unwritten rules that nobody teaches you — not in school, not in university, and rarely in the workplace itself. Too many talented Kenyans are stuck not because they lack ability, but because they lack information.
Whether you’re a fresh graduate sending out your first CV, a professional eyeing a promotion, a civil servant navigating government bureaucracy, or someone ready to bet on themselves and go independent, the right guidance changes everything. This is why Jua Kenya covers jobs and careers the way it deserves — honestly, practically, and with the Kenyan worker in mind. From interview prep and salary negotiation to freelancing and working abroad, find everything you need to get hired, grow faster, and build a career worth having.
