I have worked as a security guard for 12 years, and I'm 50. After the factory closing, I decided to move into cybersecurity, and I have completed a self-study course with a project portfolio. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my resume and portfolio, a realistic view of the job market in Nakuru, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for three months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time. All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled. Thank you for reading my story.

  • Small businesses are the heart of Naivasha. Hope you're open again soon. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

    • Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Naivasha

      • Good luck, Atieno. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Madrid so I could bring a meal.

        • sending good thoughts, Atieno. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Oakland but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
