A Kenyan lady has sparked heated reactions online after sharing a disturbing experience about how difficult it is for young women to secure jobs in the country, especially in Nairobi.... WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.
Speaking during a live TikTok session, the lady identified as Kasheri, who now works as a secretary in a private company in Nairobi, narrated how she struggled before finally landing her current job.
According to her, she was introduced to a certain company by a friend after a long search for employment. She said that when she first visited the company, the manager initially dismissed her, claiming there were no job vacancies at the moment.
However, he allegedly asked her to leave her phone number, promising to contact her once opportunities became available.
Kasheri further claimed that things took a surprising turn later that night when the same manager called her at around 1:00 AM, informing her that a job opportunity had come up and asking her to follow certain instructions. She was allegedly told to meet him at his office the following day.
She added that when she went to the office, the manager made unwanted advances towards her but also promised her a job immediately. Out of desperation to secure employment, she agreed to the arrangement and was eventually hired.
Kasheri further revealed that she is now earning a monthly salary of Ksh 70,000, but her experience left her with a strong message to other young women.
She warned that life outside is not easy and urged ladies seeking jobs to be careful, saying that many opportunities may come with hidden demands that put them in difficult situations.
Her statement has since sparked mixed reactions online, with many Kenyans expressing concern over alleged exploitation in the job market while others called for stricter measures to protect job seekers.
