In today’s dismal economy, the job market has also taken a hit, due to a large number of layoffs and corporate restructuring. At a time when landing a stable job is becoming more and more difficult, it helps to expand one’s search. That is where Njambi Ngunjiri and Global Career Company (GCC) enter.
GCC is an international recruitment agency that specializes in matching qualified candidates with international employment opportunities in Africa via its “Careers in Africa” initiative. As a GCC representative, it is Ngunjiri’s job to introduce prospective candidates to the company and screen them for upcoming opportunities.
Ngunjiri says that many prospective applicants are shocked to learn about the vast employment opportunities available in Africa. “Africa is bucking the downward trend that most economies are going through and that’s primarily because of the oil and gas infrastructure investments that have been made across the continent,” she explains. “Countries like Nigeria, Angola and South Africa have a lot of recruitment needs and they’re looking to tap into the international market as a source of candidates for their leadership and talent,” reports Ngunjiri.
After undergoing a prescreening process, prospective candidates and employers are brought together at an invitation-only Recruitment Summit, where both pre-scheduled and impromptu interviews take place. Ngunjiri feels that it is important that job seekers look beyond their comfort zone for employment opportunities. “It is important that people are aware of the opportunities that are available on the African continent,” she says. “With companies such as Coca-Cola Sabco, Heineken and GE Oil & Gas hiring, the opportunities are great.” –ivory m. jones
