Itel has made a mark on the affordable phones market for several years now. The company has also been sponsoring events for the past 5 years especially those in the sports sector; it has been a key part of their corporate social responsibility in the country.
This year, Itel sponsored the Embu Rugby sevens, an event that was held last weekend from 1st -2nd July, at the Embu stadium. The competition brought together more than 15 rugby teams from universities, high schools and other institutions across the country. The best player was awarded the newly launched selfie focused smartphone, the Itel S31. In addition, referees were given t-shirts while other lucky attendees got giveaways through participating in different games.
The company had held a similar event dubbed’ Eldoret Rugby Sevens’ which attracted more tha 12,000 fans and enthusiasts from all over the country. During this event, Itel’s brand ambassador, Avril, was on attendance, you can find her music and selfies preloaded into the Itel S31 smartphone.
The company plans to support Kenyan youth through sponsorship in other types of sports as well. “Being part of sports growth is something that we believe will offer the young players the opportunity to work in a competitive environment. It will also help develop their talents and showcase them at international level in the future,” said Mr Muiru, Itel Mobile Kenya Digital Marketing Manager.
The improved MPESA platform will come with updated features such as:
All the menus are placed on the slide out tab. To reveal it, you have to start the slide from the very edge of the screen; otherwise you will end up tapping a job listing. Some applications like Twitter allow you to simply access the menu by simply sliding your finger without paying much attention to where the action was initiated.
There are some inconsistencies in the application user interface, for instance, the ‘contact us’ page takes you to the website instead. The website takes your contact details and lets you type in your query or call their help desk. It would have been better if Brighter Monday made a consistent native UI experience through-out the app.
Speaking of applying, once you click a job post, you are taken to its description. At the very top, you get a small but crucial breakdown of the job, it includes details such as where it is located, salary, if it’s full time or otherwise and finally the date it was listed. This information will help you decide if the job aligns with what you are looking for, if it does, you can go ahead and read its full description; this feature really saves your time. Scrolling down the page brings the full description, responsibilities, qualifications, and what the employee is offered. Below it all is an apply button, when clicked, the user is taken to the employers website. It is good to note that the job descriptions can be shared with friends in case you get something that would interest them.
A profile helps employers to decide if the job seeker is well suited for a given position. The Brighter Monday app lets you have a very comprehensive profile. It covers everything from experience, education, associations, languages, skills and much more. It even has a completion percentage meter that lets you know how close you are to filling up all the sections.
Alternatively, you can get alerts for job that might suit you. These alerts are defined by the user based on location, category and work type. Any job that aligns perfectly with your defined alert will be notified to the user. This is really neat feature that would save people the time of skimming through endless lists of search results. It is a form of job list uniquely tailored to you.
