Interested candidates are requested to submit their CVs and a convincing cover letter to

Never ending meetings, always travelling, trying to keep up with the fast evolving world, that’s the schedule of most people who have made it to the top of the corporate ladder. Talk of big companies like Safaricom, Equity, Kenol Kobil, how do their CEO’s get to the top? How did people like Richard Branson a high school dropout ever make it to the top to become the billionaire entrepreneur behind Virgin Group?
Meet Anne Eriksson, a no stranger to the world of finance. She is the Regional Senior Partner for PWC East Region, which covers six countries (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia and Mauritius). She travels a lot and is responsible for designing and implementing strategy for the business.
Her day she says starts in the morning with a meeting with her PA, catching up on things brought forward, her daily agenda and meetings with her partners or her teams, or even clients, whether formal or informal. In a male dominated field of finance, Anne finally made it to the top and she the much needed testimonial that women can do it too!
So do you want to make it to the top the clean way? What does making it to the top mean anyway? Does it mean trampling on everybody else to make it to the top of the corporate ladder? Is it all about you making it and forgetting about everybody else you work with or for? I will tell you one thing though, it takes a team to make a company and like the old adage says, there’s no I in TEAM.
Without trampling and engaging in dirty politics like corruption and nepotism to finally reach where we’ve always wanted to be, there are some tips that might help you make it to the top without stepping on people’s toes.
1. Re-assess your Career. Is this what you wanted to do with your life? Don’t be a fool about it and be true to yourself. Is what you are doing now well aligned with your interest and priorities? If not, don’t just stay there with your shoulders hunched and complain how much you ate your job. Truth is you will never make it to the top –The right way- without passion for what you do. It’s about time you considered a lateral move and work your way up there.
2. They say failing to plan is planning to fail. You have got to clearly define your career goals. Know exactly what you want to get from what you do for a living apart from paying the bills. Do you want to be stuck in the same office for ten years or till retirement calls doing the same thing over and over again? Truthfully, that could be a drag!
3. Show initiative in whatever it is that you do. You could be a sales person for a particular company; you can come up with new ideas of how to increase sales by adding a new target group into your sales model. Who knows someone might notice! Volunteer in programs and try to stay relevant.
You might volunteer to spearhead a particular project in the office and this can give you marks in trying to stay relevant by showing your leadership skills.
4. There’s a saying that claims that education has no end. Keep learning to hone your skills. Get that Degree in Business Administration and increase the potential of your skills. You want it bad; you’ve got to toil for it.
5. Last but not least, Act like a boss consistently step up whenever you have the opportunity to take charge. For example, if your immediate boss gets fired, step in and take action, you might say something along this lines “I’m not looking to be promoted, but I also recognize there’s much to be done within a short time. I understand the ins and outs of my boss’s job, so feel free to tap me for any of her work while we’re in this transitional phase.” Don’t appear as if you are fishing for that position and you just never know, you might get that push towards that coveted high position in the corporate ladder.

Kenyans Rated Most Ugly In Africa.
There is this article titled Kenyans voted most ugly in Africa doing the rounds in the blogsphere. Well, if you haven’t read this hilarious piece, now you have a chance.
Kenyan Rated Most Ugly In Africa.
Kenyans were last weekend voted the funniest looking people in Africa. With 48 participating nations in the Annual Most Beautiful People of Africa Awards, held at the Gregor Theater in Bloemfontein SA, Kenya took the last position, dislodging Zambia and reclaiming the title it held in 2000.
It posted 7 points out of a possible 540 points. The top position was taken by Rwanda, followed by
Cameroon and then Ethiopia as second runner up. The last three positions were Kenya at 48, Zambia at 47, then Gabon, at 46. The judges said they gave their points based on presentation, physical appearance, grooming, communication and other areas.
Coincidentally this came just a week after an article on Kenyans appeared in the Pretorian Bird. The article, in the entertainment section, claims Kenya has the funniest looking president on earth, and a VP with a strange looking head. It goes on to say that Kikuyu women and Luo men pose the most weird features.
“Women from the Kikuyu community have small legs, totally no figures, and a little exeggerated heads. They lack good behinds and those who have them look like inflated baloons.They are shaped like pyramids turned upside down.A big upper frame and an almost inviscible lower bit.
Luo men on the other side have distorted facial features..say big lips and huge noses or should we call them knobs. Kikuyu men are also unproportional, and most of them are stunted. They walk leaning foward. Plus they have long rusty teeth.”
“Those from Kisii Districts are small people, the average Kenyan man will stop growing at 5’2″…5’4″ tops. Kisii men have mango shaped heads, and bowed legs, a feature also common in in their Luhya counterparts.”
He goes on to describe Kaleos as “Funny little pitch black emaciated fellows, raking in millions from the track. However long they’ll remain in Europe, their features never improve”. “Nandis will have rounded foreheads, and thin, long arms”. While occupants at the coast province are said to have “Wide faces, almost like a widescreen telly, especially taitas,and durumas”
“Kenyans do not know the meaning of good grooming” The writer says. “The women hate their dark skins and opt for mercury bleachs which mess them up. The result: A scary (unpigmented)light face, black legs, and a black back”. As much as the Kenyan accent, of standard english is admired, “there’s too much mothertounge interference, common in Merus, Kisiis, and Kikuyus”.
While Luos were pointed out as to be suffering from chronic ‘braggitis’. The research funded by the institute of Primate Research at the University of St. Kenkley, also noted that Kenyan men are very marketable in the Kimberely area of SA and parts of the Guateng region. Reason, they are big, hopeless spenders.
Moral lesson, “Be careful dating a Kenyan online.” Accepting the Award Ambassador Kinyesi, complained of biased judging. Also present were dignitaries from all around Africa.
