I wake up very early in the morning, rush to campus, a five minute walk so that the library is opened when I am present, lest I do not get any computer to use, as all would have been booked. I check my mail to see if any of the organizations to whose online job adverts I had applied for had responded.

Non has responded to my job applications, and instead my email inbox is filled with trash from game city, editor Bob, and hundreds of gambling sites, including “pharmacists” asking me to buy their new brand of Viagra!

Mr. Bernard Sabiti

A fellow, claiming to be a brother to the jailed former Liberian president Charles Taylor has also written to me asking my help to acquire millions of dollars stashed in a Dutch bank, promising me a hefty commission.

Furiously disappointed, I delete all of them and sign out.

With permission from Mr. Bernard Sabiti, we are serializing and publishing selected episodes from his column “A Job Seeker’s Diary” that was first published in a national newspaper.
