I’m wondering whether to go back to campus today, as there seems to be nothing new there. I finally pick a notebook, and head towards the Eastern Gate. Just want to go through the day’s newspapers in case there is a new job advert.

I purpose not to apply for the few I find there, as I, like hundreds of my colleagues, am tired of making piles of applications without any prospective employer giving me even a chance to interview.

Mr. Bernard Sabiti

I have come to believe one of the many theories from guys here, that companies in Ugandan advertise vacancies when the job was long given to one of the Bosses’ relative, and that advertising is just a public relations stint. And that in Uganda its technical know-who, and not ‘technical know-how’ that works.

*** End of Mr. Bernard Sabiti’s Real Life Experiences Diary Entry ***

With the permission of Mr. Bernard Sabiti, we are serializing and publishing selected episodes from his column “A Job Seeker’s Diary” prior first published in a national newspaper. Whereas, Mr. Sabiti is now a very successful consultant, we decided to share and to publish episodes from his column on our website because they are directly relevant to the stakeholders of our project: “Challenging Categories: Educated Unemployed Youth as Institutional Innovators in Rural Uganda;”  And they speaks directly to the young adults whom we are mentoring under our project: “Mentoring Young Adults into Innovators Against Poverty.” Mr. Sabiti’s life story, as a whole, is the more relevant to us, since there seems to be nothing he has not done, innovating to better his lot and to contribute to the bettering of life for his wider communities. Read more here.
