changes in recruitment

its good news for those who had lost hope with their grades and age.but it means tough competition in the near future.for those like me who were not successful from the previous interview(s) lets get the degree and try again.wishing success to those are in their final stages of the interview.one virtue that one has to posses with kq is PATIENCE.all the best

Change in requirements

Moment of silence for those of us in the school of architecture. Having started campus last year, I just have to forget about the Ab initio program. I applied before the change in requirements but wasn't called. My account is still active though. They have advertised for the position and they want a degree. I feel cheated but all in all, God has a plan. All the best to those who are still in it. For those who are in the same position as me, remember Job praised the Lord even when he lost everything.

Double applications

Hi guys! I had applied for the Ab Initio program on 7th Dec last year before the requirements change. I immediately got the notification email that the application was successfully submitted. In January, 2 of my friends, who had applied after me, got a rejection email, I did not get it and my application status still remained "Active". About 5 weeks ago, they got another email calling them for the first tests. I also did not receive that email and my status still remained "Active" and is still active to date. This left me very confused. I visited The Pride Centre on Wednesday 20th March to find out what may have happened but instead I was patched through to someone in HR who informed me that there were problems with that application and that they would be opening another one on Friday 22nd March and that in this new application they would lower the KCSE requirements and they would be targeting graduates. So, first thing yesterday morning I checked the careers portal and true to their word, there was a new application posted with lowered KCSE requirements and a degree requirement. I being a recent graduate of engineering (finished in Dec, graduating in June), I promptly applied for the new application.

My confusion is that I now have two active applications, for Dec 7th and March 22nd, and I am wondering whether this may pose a problem.

Any information regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
