There are numerous jobs you can get in Nairobi without a degree course or experience. Even those with a primary certificate can easily get such jobs.I have even seed guys getting jobs with standard 8 certificates.
If you possess zero professional experience and you equally don’t hold a degree course, here is a list of jobs to get in Nairobi:

Insurance Financial Advisors are like sales people. They sell insurance premiums. This job only need someone who know how to talk to people….but selling insurance premiums in Kenya is one of the hardest jobs to do.
- Social media manager/Influencer
Another good job to do in Nairobi is to become a social media manager/influencer. There are people who will recruit you to manage their social media accounts.

Casual jobs like in Standard Media Group and construction sites are in plenty. Even in Industrial Area there are many casual jobs to do. You can also be recruited in a business premise as a cashier or loader.
