Published on September 27, 2021, James Watare's story is a testament to the power of hard work and determination. Born and raised in a small village in Karatina, Watare's early life was marked by a strong connection to his grandfather, a Mau Mau freedom fighter who instilled in him a love for education.
Watare's educational background is impressive, with a higher diploma in human resource management from the Institute of Human Resource Management, a Bachelor's Degree in Science from Kenyatta University, and a Master's Degree in Public Health from Moi University.
Before starting his own firm, Executive Jobs Hub, Watare worked as a project manager and human resources consultant at Ernst and Young (EY). It was during this time that he gained valuable experience in consulting and developed a passion for helping young professionals.
Watare's motivation for starting Executive Jobs Hub came from his own struggles in finding a decent job after university. He realized that many job-seekers lacked the necessary skills to stand out in the crowd, and he wanted to help bridge that gap.
Today, Watare is a renowned HR consultant and career coach, with a focus on educating job-seekers on current job trends and the importance of customizing their CVs to the job they are applying for. He also emphasizes the need for job-seekers to present themselves as the best fit for the opportunity at hand.
Watare's expertise extends to LinkedIn optimization, and he has noticed that more than 70% of job-seekers' profiles are dormant and fail to communicate their profession. He advises job-seekers to optimize their profiles, network, and plan ahead to increase their chances of landing their dream jobs.
