The German Embassy in Nairobi has announced three job vacancies for visa officers in Kenya.

How best to apply for jobs

Emmanuel Makokha, a career coach and founder of Fresh Jobs Kenya, advised jobseekers to prioritise the instructions given in job adverts when submitting applications to avoid being disqualified.

"Application instructions are critical because they serve as the first filter for potential candidates. Unfortunately, many job seekers miss out on opportunities simply because they overlook or misinterpret these guidelines. Whether it's failing to attach the correct documents, not following format requirements, or missing deadlines, these seemingly small errors can disqualify even the most qualified candidates.

My advice is to thoroughly review the instructions multiple times and ensure every detail is addressed before submitting your application. A little extra care can make all the difference in securing that next role," Makokha told TUKO.co.ke.
