A question that comes up often in jobseeker forums in Kenya
is the one on how people get East Africa Breweries Limited (EABL) jobs. It is not
hard to see where this question comes from. After all, EABL is considered to be
one of the better employers in Kenya, in terms of the salaries offered, work
conditions and benefits. Getting a job at EABL can be a route out of poverty.
As one commentator observed, even if one only manages to work at EABL for just
one year, that should be enough to save enough to start a business that would
help them for decades!
Of course, the fact that EABL is considered to be a good employer
inevitably means that competition for EABL jobs is fierce. Yet in spite of the
fierce competition, we see people get hired at EABL almost every year. This
means that in spite of the competition, it is still possible for you to get a
job at EABL.
One way in which you can get a job at EABL is by applying.
This is just a question of being on the lookout for EABL job ads, and when you
come across them, you go ahead and apply. Applying for an EABL job online is really just as straightforward as applying for a kenya birth certificate online.
This is to say, in other words, that if you were able to successfully figure
out how to apply for helb loans in your campus days, you shouldn’t have
a hard time figuring out how to apply for EABL jobs online.
Another (long-shot) way in which you can attempt to get a
job at EABL may be by proactively sending your CV. So you send your CV to EABL
HR, and hope that they would call you for an interview, culminating in you
getting a job.
Yet
another way in which you can attempt to get a job at EABL may be by networking.
So this is a question of networking with individuals who are currently holding
EABL jobs. Then you can have them alert you whenever there are internally
advertised jobs, so that you can apply for the same. Or you can have them give
you tips on how exactly they managed to get the EABL jobs, fierce competition
notwithstanding.
