Jobs are scarce in most parts of the world. In countries like Uganda, South Africa and some parts of Europe getting a job is as hard as passing through the hole of a needle. Our reporters to day bring you the problems job seekers in Uganda go through. For purposes of being accurate, we have allowed job seekers to tell you their own experience.

John Lwanyaaga: I have a degree in mass communication from Makerere University, but one day I applied for a job in European Union (Uganda) and I merged out the best.  I was promised to start the work a week after. But in the mid of the week I received a call that instructed me to give it two more weeks. At the end of two weeks, I received no reply and I decided to go there. I got the shock of the day when another person from the ruling tribe was working in my place.

Jane Nakazibwe: I hold a degree in community psychology from Makerere University.  Some employers/interviewers demand sex before they give us the jobs. This happened to me when one day I applied for a job in one of the companies owned by Indians in Kampala. An Indian told me that I qualify for the job but I had to first fall in love with him if I needed the job. I told him that I was, married the man refused. And I needed the job so…

Grace Nabagulanyi: I have a degree in business administration from Nkumba University. I had to bribe to get a job. I am working in one of the beverage companies in Uganda. The people who were on the interview panel told me that the job would be there for me only when I gave them one million shillings-my dad sold his two cows and I got the job.

Robert Musiime: I don’t have a job yet I am a graduate of Social Work and Social Administration from Makerere University. I have failed to get a work because to get a job in Uganda one needs to have links with the ruling government or to be from western Uganda where president Museveni comes from.
