I think most of Kenya Wildlife Service jobs are advertised
in the media, and people proceed to apply from there. But I have also heard of
cases where, for instance, people just present themselves in person during the Kenya Wildlife
Service game warder recruitment exercises, and earn themselves jobs that way. There
was actually a time when the Kenya Wildlife Service recruitment exercise became controversial,
after it became clear that only folks with lower grades (was it D- and E?) were
being recruited, with I think folks who had anything above D plain being told
that they were overqualified! But then the KWS management came out strongly in
defence of that policy, arguing that folks with higher grades would end up starting
to look for other opportunities after having been trained at a huge cost... I don’t know if that policy is
still there, though the KWS warders of these days seem to be relatively well
trained, educated and enlightened.
What
I know for fact is that there is a 'careers' page on the Kenya Wildlife Society
website, which folks who are looking for KWS jobs ought to make a habit of
visiting regularly, as some jobs are advertised there. What I also know for
fact is that KWS jobs are often advertised in the media, including the Daily
Nation and Standard. And yet another fact I know for sure is that it helps to
network with individuals who have successfully managed to get KWS jobs (both current
and former KWS employees) especially if they happen to be friends or relatives, so that they can explain to you how the system
actually works, as far as recruitment goes.
