When I finished high school, back in 1990. Interviews to the government’s technical jobs were done at college entry level. Where if you were lucky to get admitted to one of government’s colleges and pass final examinations, that was it, you got employed straight from that college without undergoing another interview.
For me, I successfully applied and attended Kenya Medical Training College {KMTC}, interview,and trained as Public Health Technician.Being a technical job, technical and line staff interview score sheet was used, enclosed herewith above. And the below was my performance excerpts:
