KaziKit vs MyJobMag: Advice vs Actually Doing It
KaziKit · 6 August 2026
MyJobMag aggregates job listings and publishes career advice. KaziKit does the work that advice describes — it tailors your CV and cover letter to the exact advert, coaches your interview, and sends matched jobs to WhatsApp. Read the tips on MyJobMag, then let KaziKit execute them. As with most of these comparisons, it is not really one versus the other — so let us look at what each is genuinely good at.
What is MyJobMag best for?
MyJobMag is a well-known job platform in Kenya that does two things well: it aggregates a large volume of job listings across sectors, and it publishes a steady stream of career advice — how to write a CV, how to answer interview questions, how to approach your job search.
That combination is genuinely useful. If you want to browse what is open and read up on how job-hunting works, MyJobMag is a solid place to land. Listings give you opportunities; the advice gives you knowledge. For discovery and learning, it earns its place in a Kenyan job seeker's routine.
Where does advice stop and doing begin?
Here is the honest gap — and again, it is not a criticism, it is simply the difference between telling and doing. Career advice explains what a good CV looks like. It does not write your CV. An article on interview questions tells you what to expect. It does not sit with you and run the practice. A salary guide tells you to negotiate. It does not draft the actual negotiation message.
There is a real distance between reading "tailor your CV to each job advert" and actually producing a tailored CV for the specific advert in front of you at 11pm the night before the deadline. Most people read the advice, nod, and then send the same generic CV anyway — because doing the tailoring by hand, for every application, is genuinely hard work.
And that gap matters, because the single biggest reason applications get ignored in Kenya is not a lack of advice — it is that people send one generic CV to every role. Knowing what to do and doing it are two different things.
How does KaziKit turn advice into a finished application?
KaziKit is built for the doing. It takes the exact things good career advice tells you to do — and does them:
- "Tailor your CV to the job" → paste the advert, get a CV rewritten for that specific role in under 2 minutes.
- "Write a targeted cover letter" → generated alongside, tailored to the same advert.
- "Prepare for the interview" → an AI coach runs you through the likely questions.
- "Research the salary and negotiate" → salary benchmarks and a ready-to-send negotiation letter.
- "Do not miss opportunities" → matched job alerts on your WhatsApp every morning.
In other words, the advice on a site like MyJobMag describes the destination; KaziKit drives you there. And it all runs on the phone you already have, via M-Pesa, from KSh 25.
| MyJobMag | KaziKit | |
|---|---|---|
| Job listings | Large volume | Matched alerts on WhatsApp |
| Career advice | Yes — articles | Built into the tools |
| Writes your tailored CV | No | Yes — to the exact advert |
| Writes your cover letter | No | Yes, tailored |
| Runs interview practice | Advice only | Yes, AI coach |
| Drafts salary negotiation | Advice only | Yes |
| Best at | Informing you | Doing it for you |
Can you use both together?
Yes — and it is a natural pairing. Use MyJobMag to browse listings and read up on how the job search works. Then use KaziKit to actually produce the tailored CV, the cover letter, and the interview prep that the advice told you to create.
Read the tip; then let the tool do the work. MyJobMag informs you; KaziKit executes for you. The advice is only worth anything once someone actually acts on it — and that is the part KaziKit takes off your plate.
So the real question is not "MyJobMag or KaziKit." It is: you have read how to do it — now, who is going to actually do it for this specific job?
