UPDATE 2:
Most remote jobs in Kenya are demanding.
I have so far applied for 13. They require a tailored CV, Cover Letter and have a few follow up questions.
Additionally, I have noted majority have pre-interview assessments.
We wait. Any guidance is welcomed.
Today, 12th July 2026 I start a challenge of getting a remote role in Health Research, Research Assistant, Research Analyst, and closely Related Roles.
I have slightly more than 4 years in a similar/ closely related roles.
I am also open to new roles in Kenya that are closely related, and flexible to learn.
I will be posting daily updates.
