Ian Wafula: BBC rejected me four times before picking me 

The recent mass media movement has seen media employees switch media houses this year more than any other.

Former K24 news anchor Ian Wafula is among those who switched station after moving to British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) which has been poaching journalists at a high rate.

His move, however, was not easy. He recently confessed that he was rejected four times by the giant media house before they picked him.

“New chapter. Looking forward to starting soon at the BBC as Broadcast Journalist, News Review. I’d like to call it my new home but it’s bigger than that, the next step in my career. I’ve seen God’s manifestation in this process having been rejected 4 times after endless tests and grueling interviews. What’s yours is yours, at the right time,” said Wafula on social media.

Pushed

He went on to thank Larry Madowo who pushed him to reach for greatness and never settle for less.

“Thanking my family and close friends for standing by me.Special thanks to @larrymadowo for the three challenging words “You deserve better” that took me off my comfort zone to yearn for greater opportunities” shared Ian Wafula.
