Excelsior Firm is an equal opportunity employer
By Dorcas Karuana,
A convincing cover letter should always accompany a CV for a graduate vacancy. The only purpose of the cover letter is to get someone to want to read your resume. Therefore, it is NOT a recap of your resume or a short story of how you moved from job to job.
It’s your opportunity to show recruiters your most relevant skills and demonstrate your motivation and enthusiasm for the job and the employer. Since employers spend only a few seconds glancing at your cover letter, it should be short, easy to read and compelling.
Here’s is a guide of selling your skills in a cover letter for a graduate / Management Trainee.
Graduate cover letters in four steps
1. The opening
Tell the graduate recruiter which job you are applying for, where you saw the advert and why you are applying. If the job has a reference number, it is always good to include this. Always address your cover letter to a named contact. Give the organisation a call to find out to whom you should address your job application if a name isn’t given on the advert. Get the person’s title (and gender!) right: Mr, Miss, Mrs or Ms? Or would another title be appropriate: Dr, for example? People may feel quite strongly about how they are addressed, and it would be a shame to fall at the first hurdle.
2. Why them?
The first paragraph explains why you are interested in the job and the organisation. This is your opportunity to target your covering letter so that the recruiter knows you are interested in their graduate job and you’re not batch emailing standard CVs and covering letters to all and sundry.
Re-read the job advertisement or job description and make sure you have done some background research into the organisation. This will help you tell the recruiter what attracts you to working for them and why you are interested in the particular job.
3. Why you?
The next paragraph or two are about you. Tell the employer why you are a good prospect. Respond directly to the job advert/job description illustrating how your skills and abilities match what the employer wants. Mix evidence of specific skills and knowledge related to the job with work experience examples and personal skills.
At graduate level remember that it’s fine to refer to work experience that isn’t directly related to the profession you are applying to. You need to show how your current experience ‘transfers’ into the job. Examples from part-time jobs, extra-curricular activities and academic work will all help to demonstrate how you have used and developed skills such as communication, teamwork, problem solving, organisation, time management and commercial awareness.
Tip: avoid copying statements direct from your CV. Think about how you can rephrase the information or expand on particular skills and achievements you have that are right for the role.
4. The Ending
The closing paragraph should be strong and clear. Reaffirm your suitability for the role and your enthusiasm about the prospect of working for the employer. State that you look forward to hearing from them and are happy to provide any further information they need.
Don’t forget to sign the letter if you are sending it through the post, or to print your name if you are sending your covering letter by e-mail. For letters addressed to a named contact, finish: Yours sincerely. Dear Sir/Madam letters finish: Yours faithfully – but it’s better to get a named contact.

Why Should We Hire You Interview Question & Answer.
Lets focus on an interview question that scares many Kenyan jobseekers.
When it comes to job interviews, there are several questions that are not exactly work related, but are one of the major reasons why your job interview does not provide the results that are in your best interests.
One such question is: “why should we hire you?” Basically, this question is one of the important questions during an interview.
For one, the interview question “give us reasons to hire you”, “why should we employ you” or “what can you bring to our company” is something that differentiates the best candidates from the other good candidates.
This question is more often a surprise question to most individuals who are not as experienced in the process
of the job interview. Also, this question works as a divider between the people who are just casually looking for a job and the people who are really seeking a job.
If a person does his or her homework in the right manner, he or she would certainly come across this question as one of the most frequently asked questions and may also know how to handle it.
While answering this question, remember that the answer should not come across to be egotistical or be completely unrealistic. You should focus on providing reasons to hire you over someone else in the best way you can.
The interviewer wants to hear – how you are going to create value. Therefore, focus on ‘value creation’ when answering.
The following are some points to consider:
1. One of the best ways to answer this question is to make a short list of all your advantages and create a paragraph that would point out the positive aspects that you would bring to the new job position.
2. One of the points that you can raise is the similarity of the job profile you are aiming for at the company to the job profile you enjoyed in your previous job.
3. You can also draw the interviewer’s attention to your key skills and strengths, namely – quick learning, excellent communication skills, etc.
4. In addition, your professional ambitions should be made clear – the motivation and dedication that you have for the profession and the opening position.
5. Make sure that your answers do not come out to be too much about yourself or that they come across as conceited.
6. Your body language when you answer the question is important too. For example, your body language should make it clear that you have thought it over and given a carefully worded answer, instead of coming up with a made up, contrived answer.
While answering, firstly, take one of the job requirements, then focus on one of your related strengths/skills AND give a concrete example (a success story) based on your past experiences to support your point. Break the job requirements into fragments and continue in this manner.
For the last sentence, a phrase that can be used is:
The job is tailored to my (or – I will bring my) experience, knowledge base and abilities and I believe I can maximize my skills for the benefit of the company.
There you have it. Answering why should we hire you interview question shouldn’t be rocket science.

5 Signs That It’s Time To Look For A New Job
By Sunny Bindra
“Do you get into the office without a plan of action for the day? Are you not being rewarded for your efforts? Does your boss often pull you down and embarrass you in front of colleagues?
If any or all of these ring true, it might be time to shake things up.”
PRERNA SODHI, India Real Time, WSJ (16 July 2010)
There are many times when you need to think about moving on from your current job – for your sake as well
as that of your company. Like it or not, employment in one place can become a drag at times – and if you’re not careful, could sap you of your vitality and drain your energy for real work.
But how do you know when it’s time to go? Prerna Sodhi wrote a regaling entry on the WSJ’s India Real Time blog recently telling us how to read the signs that it’s time to write that resignation letter. For us in Kenya, I have adapted the 5 top signs that it’s time to go.
1. Social networks take up half your day
Is it your work you look forward to, or your mindless daily online perambulations through Facebook, Twitter and the slightly more respectable LinkedIn? If that is what’s taking up your time, then it’s time to think about a change. Your work should really be more absorbing than that.
2. You work without thinking
How routine or monotonous is your work? If you are a mid-level executive or higher, and you can do most of your work without thinking a new thought, then you’re in trouble. Your motivation is likely to plummet soon, if it hasn’t already. Dead jobs create dead minds.
3. Your progression is horizontal rather than vertical
Have your last few changes of post all been horizontal – are you being moved around the organisation in the same grade, rather than taking on new responsibilities or a team leadership role? Your employers may be telling you that they are struggling to promote you and entrust you with leading others. Time for some soul-searching here – either prove your case or take a walk.
4. You hate the idea of change
When your CEO starts talking about the need for change and makes sweeping rearrangements across the company, what is your reaction? Do you relish the opportunity to do new things or try new ways, or do you lead the water-cooler brigade that stands around moaning and groaning? If change always worries you in your job, it is a sure sign that you are too comfortable and too set in your ways, and mistrustful about entrusting your future to others. This is bad for you – we work best when we take charge of change and embrace it. A place where you resist every new thing is not one you want to be in for long.
5. You don’t even want your boss’s job
And here’s the killer sign: most ambitious people picture themselves in their current boss’s job. “I could do that better” is the thought that drives much personal development. But if you’re in a place where you can’t even imagine doing your superior’s job, then your juices have been stilled. You have no impetus to improve yourself. It’s probably better to imagine something better somewhere else.
The bottom line is this: work should be engaging, rewarding and challenging. Too many of us stagnate in dead-end jobs where our spirit died long ago and we didn’t even notice. I loved this quotation used by Ms Sodhi, from India’s Dony Kuriakose: “Careers are not ponds, they are streams; they have got to be going somewhere from somewhere.”
So, ask yourself this Monday: Are you slowly sinking in a stagnant pond, or rowing along merrily in a bubbling stream? If work is dreary and dull with no end in sight, give yourself an exit strategy.
