The cap-toss is the easy part. What follows is harder, but it's also where the actual life gets built.
- Treat the job hunt like a job. Hours. Targets. Discipline.
- Talk to humans. LinkedIn DMs > job board applications, every day of the week.
- Get a side hustle that teaches you something. Even small.
- Find a community. Loneliness is the silent career-killer.
- Learn to write. Email, brief, proposal, post. Writing is leverage.
- Save something. Even KES 500 a month. The habit > the amount.
- Keep learning. The degree is the floor, not the ceiling.
