KPA is without doubt regarded by many people as the best
employer in Mombasa. That is because, for one, Kenya Ports Authority salary
packages tend to be mouth-watering. Secondly, the positions at KPA Mombasa tend
to come with quite a bit of job security. They are either permanent and
pensionable or long-term contracts. And thirdly, KPA Mombasa is a prestigious
place to work. Given those facts then, it is no wonder that one of the
questions posed by jobseekers in Mombasa is the one on how they can get KPA
jobs.
As it turns out, there are 3 primary ways in which you can
get a job at KPA Mombasa.
The most straightforward way in which you can get a KPA job
in Mombasa is by applying. KPA does advertise open positions in the newspapers
from time to time. That is especially the case for the more senior or more
technical positions. Therefore if you have a desire to work for the KPA
Mombasa, you would need to be always on the lookout for such ads, and apply
when you come across them.
Another way in which you can get a KPA job in Mombasa is by
sending your CV proactively. It is a long shot, but you should give it a try
nonetheless. Just get the KPA Mombasa HR email, send them your CV, and hope
that they would put the CV in their database, from where they can retrieve it
should a job arise.
Yet another way in which you can get a job at KPA Mombasa is
by networking. You can network with individuals who are already working at
Kenya Ports Authority Mombasa, so that they can give you tips on how to get in.
You can also network with political operatives in Mombasa, so that they can
help you in securing one of the positions in what appears to be a quota
reserved for ‘local people’.
In
the meantime, you of course need to ensure that you are well prepared to handle
the position you are looking for at KPA. Like if, for instance, you are
applying for a driver job at KPA, you need to figure out how to renew your Kenya driving license. So that would be a question of figuring out how to use the Kenya ntsa ecitizen system to renew your driving license, well in
advance. You don’t want to be called for a KPA driver interview, only for your
license to turn out to be invalid on account of you having failed to renew it...
