How to brand your degree.

This is the season when many Final year college students are completing their final exams, and stepping out into the world of employment. A lucky few students will have jobs even before graduation, but for many, the hard daunting task of looking for a job has just began. So, how do you brand your degree and stand out? What is the value of your degree in the marketplace?

If you've earned a degree that puts you on a less-than-certain professional career path, some naysayers may even term your degree "useless", as a former minister of education once termed a certain set of degrees.

The truth is, your subject matter knowledge may be irrelevant to anything going on in the business world today. That's why you need to emphasize your skills, not your content expertise. In literature, you
learned to read complex stories with careful comprehension, and fashion tight, logical arguments. That's an applicable business skill, even if knowing about knowing Chinua Achebe’s novels may not.

Next, you'll want to position yourself as a potential fount of innovation. You're never going to win the argument that you're better qualified than someone who has studied a relevant business discipline — or who has worked in the field for years. So don't even try. You're differentlyqualified, and your unique perspective may be just what the company needs to move to the next level.

You'll also want to cite your work experience. Many students serve as research assistants, teaching fellows, or writing-center tutors — and you may even have had internships in your field. Those provide valuable "real-world" credentials that will likely be more impressive to potential employers than your degree itself. Can you lead and inspire those in your charge (i.e., a classroom full of twenty skeptical students)? Solve difficult research challenges and unearth crucial facts? Those are abilities that any workplace would covet.

In practical terms, your degree may not be relevant to your subsequent professional life. But it can be very relevant to your development as a human being. But if you've taken the plunge and are now entering the work world, you owe it to yourself to make the best case possible in explaining its value to others.

4 Things Interns must do before the Internship starts.

The season of internships and attachments is once again with us. If you're planning to be an intern, here are four things to do before you walk through the door to ensure a successful internship period.

Choose one or two specific projects. Interns are great for project-based work. Anything with a clear beginning, middle, and end is a good place to start — and if that project lasts between four and eight weeks, even better. Don’t take up complex projects that will stretch over along period of time, and your role in such a complex project can be vague and intimidating. 
The more discrete and concrete the project, the easier it is to identify objectives, seek guidance, and measure results. And the better aligned the project is with the overall mission of the organization, the happier you will be — Gen Ys want to know that their work is needed.

Put it in writing. Once you have identified, or discussed with your immediate supervisor what you will be doing, help the supervisor craft a job description for you. Even if you will be working in a company that your parents or relatives own, it's still worthwhile to go through the motions and draft a job description. This will help you identify the goals and objectives of the internship, and determine how you'll measure outcomes and success of the internship period.

Craft your sales pitch. What actual skills will your bring to the job, and the company? Think hard about what you will also get out of eight to 10 weeks of working side by side with your colleagues and supervisors.
What skills and insights will you learn on the job that will help you shape your career path, strengthen your network, or help you decide once and for all whether that career path is the way to go (or not)? How much fun will it be?

Look for a mentor, not a manager. Actively seek out managers and supervisors, who will show you the ropes, make important introductions in th office, find a physical place for you to sit and work, and even go for lunch on day one with you — and providing feedback throughout the internship period. If possible, your mentor should have a weekly or a fortnight one-on –one meeting with you.
 
The best mentor could be a rising star within the company, who is not too senior to be bogged down by responsibilities, but again, not too junior as to be ignored by everyone in the office. As with anything in life, the more effort you put in, the better results you'll get out. Investing time and energy now will set your internship up for success, and possibly set your career path on an upward trajectory.

President Kenyatta urges Kenyans abroad to invest home.

On the sidelines of the conference on Somalia held in London, President Uhuru Kenyatta met with Kenyans working and living in London, and urged them to invest more in Kenya. He urged them to continue sending their monthly remittances, but also look for investment opportunities to grow their home country. Currently, remittances from abroad top nearly a billion dollars- kshs.84 billion.

However, most of the money is for consumption, rather than for investment opportunities. However,
Kenyans abroad have always complained that there is a lack of clear framework on how they can invest in Kenya, and they rely mostly on relatves back home,w ho sometimes end up squandering the money.
