Blessed Posted March 3, 2011 Some of these posts sound very interesting. I'm wondering if those seeking 'Somali Nationals' are only after local candidates? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacaylbaro Posted March 3, 2011 If they say "Somali Nationals" it means local ........ but even if you have other nationalities you can still work as a local staff with less pay of course. They sometimes say "Somali Nationals" but the post is international specially when the duty station is "Nairobi". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Zack Posted March 4, 2011 How come they never state the pay in the postings? They should at least mention band if not the exact pay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
