Chuka University Alumni Gets Job After Waving Placard On Nairobi Streets
On Wednesday, August 10th 2016, Patrick Muthomi a 28-year-old Bachelor of Commerce (accounting option) graduate from Chuka University took to the streets of Nairobi with a placard advertising his credentials in a bid to get a job. Patrick won the hearts of many with his determination to be employed.
Now, the efforts of the man whose photos went viral a few days ago because of his placard job hunt have paid off as the 28-year-old Chuka University graduate is now employed.
Immediately after graduating from Chuka University in 2014, Patrick Muthomi got a job as a business teacher at Mwiga SDA Secondary School in Nyeri where he worked for five months. He left his teaching job, hoping to find a well-paying job as an accountant in the capital Nairobi but unluckily, years later his dream had not materialized yet.
Patrick Muthomi was then driven to the unusual job hunting method because he needed to get a job so that he could make ends meet – an action that got him overwhelming feedback. Below is what he revealed to a local tabloid;
After two hours on the road, Muthomi retired to the house to sort out the feedback he received from those who saw his placard.
The former secondary school business teacher said that from the three companies that invited him for an interview, only one showed interest in hiring his services.
Evidently pleased, the young family man expressed much gratitude for the good luck, saying that he is glad that he will now be able to provide for his wife and child.

I started receiving calls after 30 minutes while at Muthaiga road. I felt hopeful and after three days I had over 1,122 calls, 601 sms with some sending their email addresses that I forward to them my CV. Some even sent me airtime and data bundles.
After two hours on the road, Muthomi retired to the house to sort out the feedback he received from those who saw his placard.
The former secondary school business teacher said that from the three companies that invited him for an interview, only one showed interest in hiring his services.
I did an interview with Chandaria Industry for an accountant position. They gave a practical question and I passed. I have since filled an employment form and by September 1st, I will be starting my new job.
Evidently pleased, the young family man expressed much gratitude for the good luck, saying that he is glad that he will now be able to provide for his wife and child.
