Let me say that after a good number of years, and being familiar with the work of David Graeber (RIP, I still can& #39;t believe it), I take this advice with some skepticism.

Interview for jobs is luck. You can never know why or why you didn& #39;t get a job. @johnnjenga #maishakazini https://twitter.com/johnnjenga/status/1301813195900964866">https://twitter.com/johnnjeng...
Dressing as best you can and being punctual are definitely a good thing to do. But you should do it because of you, not because that& #39;s what will impress interviewers.

As for doing research on the company?

From my experience, it can go either way. #maishakazini
Interviews are sadistic games. You have to show that you know enough, but not too much. If you are enthusiastic with ideas, in this Kenya, it& #39;s likely that you will not get the job.

Because the interviewers might feel that their own jobs will be threatened by you. #maishakazini
People should find out not just about the institution, but look for udaku. Who REALLY calls the shots in that institution? What& #39;s their personality? Do they drink, sleep with colleagues, have a family, party?

Look for the bosses on shosho meendia and guuguu. #maishakazini
This is where some literature might have helped, but you called it a useless subject. So let me try teaching it in a tweet.

Once you find out what the person is like, figure out the buzz words they might like to hear. Use them subtly. Don& #39;t be obvious. #maishakazini
Learn from spies and seducers. They know the right buttons to press and to pretend that that& #39;s not what they& #39;re doing.

And if you do get the job, be prepared to continue selling your soul there. Pick a favorite bar or church to attend regularly. You& #39;ll need one. #maishakazini
For those who think this is an injustice, that people shouldn& #39;t have to give up their dignity to be employed, you& #39;ll need to fight politically for an economy that does not make work so demeaning and oppressive.

That is why #maishakazini exists. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJV3qPGogwHgu3jk7dEioGBzR1kV4nRWN">https://www.youtube.com/playlist...
