Best Tips for Fresh Graduates to Hunt Best Jobs in Pakistan
Pakistan is the land, full of talented people and opportunities. In current era, we all hearing common sayings like jobs are not available in Pakistani market; Businesses are facing severe problems in Pakistan; Jobs are impossible without strong references in Pakistan etc. Believe me, all are just exaggerated statements. I admit, situation is not so good, but at the same time, it’s not as bad as portrayed. There are businesses that are doing well, and people are getting good jobs in Pakistan on the basis of their own talent and abilities.
Fresh graduates face more problems to get job than the experienced people in Pakistan. The reason is that there is second to none coaching for them on the topic of “HOW TO GET THE JOB YOU WANT?” Most of the universities and educational institutions are not guiding and helping out their students in their job hunting. Fresh graduate when enters in the practical life after completing his/her education, experienced the totally different scenario all of the sudden. He/she don’t know, from where to get started. She/he makes a resume and start throwing his CV in different offices. When the expense being increased and he don’t get any response from the market, he starts being frustrated. Some offices straight away refuses for the job, some says ok we will forward your CV to our HR Department and they will contact you if they will feel to do so and some offices even break his/her heart and emotions by saying your resume’s format is not impressive, you attach or detach your picture, you change the font etc.
The fresh graduate again starts making and refining his resume and spoil his attention, energy and time also. It’s my advice for the fresh graduates that don’t be dishearten from all that. You have covered almost everything about your skills and education on your resume. Those who are serious for picking up the right person for their organization will not bother for all that. But it doesn’t mean that you should stick to your one style resume forever. One must keep on updating it after some reasonable time period like 6 months or a year.
Practice of being interviewed is also a very effective tool and this exercise must be carried out among students during their educational time as well as among friends themselves, if God forbid, their institute is not sincere enough to coach them. Hesitation among fresh graduates in Pakistan at the time of interview is also a very common dilemma. The simple formula to be the best during interview other than the technical queries is to be confident and sell yourself as the perfect candidate for the job. Think as an employer that what he wants from you to deliver for his/her organization. I would like to quote an example that suppose the employer asks you that if sometime, the work load is heavy, and you have to come during weekend, will you be able to come or not? Mr. Fresh Graduate, I am not going to give you the answer for that; think as an employer and then you will get the answer by yourself. Interview is something that must be presented in perfect manners. Your dressing should be decent and very much formal. Your hair-style, shave, shoes, and sitting style, hence every inch of your look is being counted. So be very much careful about your presentation.
Subscribing at the top recruiting portals, being the member of the social groups on bricks & clicks and being in-touch with the Alumni of their respective institutions are also some of the most effective tools to get the best job you want. In addition to this, you should be very much vigilant for the latest job ads in newspapers and magazines. Online job portals are getting so much popular in Pakistan very quickly. It provides the ease of jobs for the HR departments of companies and also, reduces the fatigue for the job-seekers. All the key jobs are a click-away for everyone.
No doubt, Pakistan is facing severe inflation and jobs are not that much of number as compared to the candidates, but one should keep on seeking the jobs, and I personally would recommend for the fresh graduates that no matter, the package you are being offered for the job, if the job is related to your education, you shouldn’t say NO for that, and do your best at the job with full loyalty and hard-work. Don’t forget of the popular sayings that there is no substitute of hard-work.
