I was happy to get through the interview process. Three people were on the panel and asked a good mix of general and specific questions for the track. It was a great experience to see where I'm good and where I can improve. I liked the way it was structured and that I got to show what I know.

it was a long and tedious 3 days of interviews from the mode of dressing to the oral interview then the written one but all in all I did my best and my best was good enough for Me to be hired among those with experience. I also got to learn a lot from the process including characters of different people.

Technical Behavioral

It was quite rigorous, with just one round that could be either written or oral, or sometimes both at the same time. It really varied depending on the ministry hiring. If they used a recruiting company, it was more intense, but if they handled it themselves, it was probably to save money.

Behavioral Technical

The Labour Ministry advertises job vacancies through media like newspapers, the Government website, or television, detailing the job and requirements. Short-listed candidates are printed in daily newspapers. The interview process starts on the day specified in the advertisement. It has two steps: first, questions about work experience are asked, then general questions are asked. Qualified candidates are chosen and asked to report to work after a week. In Kenya, you must uphold leader values of expediency.
