When I left Mombasa for Nairobi, nilitua Pipeline. Like most people who have just moved to Nairobi, I needed a job like yesterday. A friend called: “Kesho enda near Nyayo Stadium. Sales & marketing opening. My auntie’s firm. They need 10 people.” The next morning, I overslept 😭 By the time I got to Nyayo, I was running late. Crossing the road carelessly, I almost got knocked into next week by a heavily tinted black Land Cruiser. The driver leaned on the horn. AIIIIII 😭 “Senziii!” I apologised with hand gestures, picked my scattered documents and rushed on. When I got to the office, my confidence packed its bags immediately. Lobby imejaa watu. Most people knew each other. Many had worked there before. I called my friend: “How many people did you say they wanted?” “Ten.” There were at least 40 people. Most had experience. Most were known. Me? Nilikuwa na certificates na misplaced confidence 😭 I decided to leave. Halfway down the stairs, I almost bumped into a lady coming up. “You seem to be in a hurry,” she said. “I’m leaving. Too many people upstairs. Sina chance.” She smiled. “Stay for the interview. Even if they don’t take you, at least you’ll have attended one.” I looked at her. Openly 😭 “Tell you what,” I said, “if they don’t take me, you’re giving me your number. At least I won’t go home empty-handed.” She laughed. Then held my hand. “Come. Let’s see this interview through.” A few minutes later, interviews started. Groups of five. Those who passed were sent to another room. The lady disappeared. Clearly, alikuwa ameomoka 😭 Soon it was my turn. I walked into the interview room… …and burst out laughing. Everyone froze. Who laughs in an interview jameni? 😭 The two men on the panel looked offended. Then the lady seated between them looked up. Saw me. Started laughing too 😭 Turns out… She was the one driving the Land Cruiser that almost sent me to meet my ancestors that morning 😭 And yes… She was the boss. Najua mngojea part ya ess na majegi 😭 Lakini kwanza, niruhusuni nipate kazi.
