THE EMPLOYER IS ALWAYS WATCHING
Universities are the main sources of skilled enthusiastic and competent manpower for almost all the organisations in both private and public sector.Furthermore, each one of us expects to be employed at the end of our schooling. However, the current trends on Kenyan universities have reached a worying heights. Most possible employers are losing confidence in these institutions.
Any time students engage in acts of hooliganism, employers remain startled if they are expected to employ the same goons they see rioting for minor complains. Of course nobody would be wiling to employ a thug.
When you use social media or any other public forum to expose your school for rampant exam cheating, you are not safe either. The image and reputation of the whole students fraternity is ruined. Nobody would be willing to employ an illiterate graduate or a half backed who survived on mwakenya all his years.
At times when university students are focused on the media unable even to express themselves in pure Kiswahili or English, our dignity is lowered,we loose respect and our levels of competence doubted. The whole cohort is taken as a group of illiterates and bunglers not worth employment.
The reputation of university students have been destroyed by high prevelence of immortality like promisquity and drunkardness. These are vices that nobody wants to associate his employee with. Nobody cares the number of students involved but once the incidences increase, the phallacy of generalization is applied.
The employer is always watching. How you conduct yourself during demos, how you speak through the media and how you behave anytime you present yourself to the society. A generalization is made and a judgement about other students of the University is done. Let us be careful.
