Racheal Patrick, a Kenyan expatriate residing in Seattle, shared pragmatic advice during an interview with Mkenya Marekani on its YouTube Channel.
Patrick urged individuals contemplating migration to the US not to be overly selective when seeking employment opportunities.
"Seattle is a hub of jobs. When leaving Kenya for a better state, consider Seattle. I often tell people not to dissuade others from coming to the US but to encourage them to apply for the Green Card. Even without a host, just find someone; job opportunities are abundant," Patrick emphasized.
She specifically highlighted the importance of avoiding excessive selectiveness, especially in fields like caregiving.
