Exactly one year since I posted my interview experience - seems like yesterday though. Things have greatly changed since then, from being a very green to being mwenyeji. I can say life here in the first few months range from difficult to really difficult, not an easy one but it depends on many factors: your host, how courageous you are, other kenyans around you and so on. It took me and my wife exactly 4 months to get our job, and exactly 7 months to rent our house. Am now 11 months old and am settled, actually planning to host someone in this forum in the next very few months. Found so many Kenyans here - over100 of them! We have a Kenyan Church - feels like home.
Where is akina Valvin, Wakahu, olyn, wanjeri and other 2011's, mlienda wapi? and how are you guys doing? Niko Lititz, PA.
hi all
its been i year since i came in. i'm in saint Louis, Missouri. in a summary, i got my first job 3 weeks of entry(10.50/hr),my wife got hers a week later, got my first car 4 weeks later(used to drive with a temporary permit), crashed it 3 weeks later(thank God No injuries), got another by insurance compensation a month later. switched jobs after 6 months(15.45/hr!) with health benefits and insurance. I've been in college since summer 2012 (4.0 GPA still working full time!).my wife in school too. i can say your host and the people(Kenyans) around you and your aggression goes a long way. if you rely too much on others to guide you, you may lose lots of time.
