If you’re based out of Kenya or Africa and have been all over the place looking for a job but are still jobless, it’s probably time you tried Facebook groups.
The best part, you can conduct your entire job search from the comfort of your home, and if based out of Kenya, you don’t even need internet bundles to access Facebook. It’s free 🙂
Furthermore, Facebook allows you to be a member of up to 6,000 groups.
That’s a lot!
However, you don’t have to exhaust your limit to get a job on Facebook groups.
The best strategy is to pick a couple active Facebook groups with limited spam, and focus on actively participating them.
This way you’ll increase your chances of finding a job of Facebook Groups without suffering burnout.
As usual, make sure to do your own due diligence before taking up any of the job offers.
So without much further ado, here is a list of 10 best Facebook groups for job seekers in Kenya Africa:
What's Covered in This Article
Africa’s Leading Ladies
Has 263,137 active members as at the writing of this post and is less than a month old.
Lots of high profile ladies are members of the group including several Members of Parliament.
Awesome Transcribers in Kenya
Awesome Transcribers in Kenya is a private Facebook group for newbie and professional transcribers to help each other out and also discuss any other matters pertaining to online business.
So this is your go – to group if you’re looking for online freelancing gigs and tips on how to make it as a freelancer.
The group currently has 83,813 active members from all over Kenya and Africa (I think!).
International Jobs / International Jobs Network
With 149,114 members as at the writing of this post, the International Jobs / International Jobs Network Facebook Group is particularly relevant if you’re interested in landing an international degree soon after graduation.
ESL/EFL/TEFL Jobs Worldwide
Probably the only public Facebook Group on this list, ESL/EFL/TEFL Jobs Worldwide describes itself as “an open community for teachers and schools aimed at using the fine power of Facebook to connect ESL teachers with ESL Employers”.
ESL basically stands for English as a Second Language 🙂
I thought you should know.
Started on 18th of April 2009, surprisingly the group has only 25,452 members but I think it’s still worth giving a try.
Wanderlust Diaries Ltd
This is a travel group but if you’re tactful, you can find job leads like lucky Winnie Mbesa was to land a writing gig with Daily Nation Kenya. You can read her stories for Daily Nation here and on the Wanderlust Diaries Facebook Group here.
You can also check out people’s profiles for their areas of expertise and DM the relevant ones.
Has 234,885 active members and was started in April 2020.
