Photo: Traffic signal showing green light for work in Pakistan News Career Pakistan showcased in The Nation: July 10, 2005 Career Pakistan featured in Dawn: Dec 12, 2004 (Author: Shabnam Nasir) Career Pakistan assists individuals with foreign education or overseas work experience find jobs in Pakistan. Arif Rizvi: "I am a Canadian and French national, and was at IBM Canada for the past 6 years. I wanted to return to Pakistan to be closer to my family. Career Pakistan helped me find the right job in Pakistan." Ansar Rajput: "I had done MBA from Babson College and was looking for a career in Islamabad. The process was so slow that it had frustrated me till I got in touch with Career Pakistan. Career Pakistan got me a job almost immediately. What is amazing is that instead of I looking for opportunities, an organization contacted me first and hired me." For Pakistan's economic competitiveness, the country must strive to attract and retain world-class professionals in various segments of the economy. Individuals with foreign education or overseas work experience are in a peerless position to become carriers of this expertise to Pakistan. Many times these individuals, with affiliations to globally celebrated universities and organizations, possess training and expertise of exceptional value. Furthermore, the ensuing chains of knowledge-transfer spearheading from each arriving professional can cause a catalytic effect on the managerial, technical, and policy-making capacities of organizations here. When viewed cumulatively, the contribution of such highly qualified professionals can thus mobilize a persuasive influence on national development. However, to relocate to Pakistan, and subsequently to continue residence in the country, these individuals aspire for an agreeable career. Career Pakistan assists overseas professionals find an appropriate career in the country to help reverse Pakistan's brain drain. Additionally, Career Pakistan also aids professionals with foreign education or overseas work experience already working in Pakistan find better work opportunities here. The overarching end in both cases is to attract as well as to retain talent. Career Pakistan staff consists of:
In addition, Career Pakistan receives extensive participation from professionals in Pakistan at international organizations and multinational companies for its Mentor Pakistan program. For many jobs, Career Pakistan interacts directly with decision-makers of reputed private sector companies, multinational companies, international organizations, NGO's, and educational institutions. Decision-makers are first queried on their hiring needs. Once Career Pakistan determines a match between the organization's needs and the individual's qualifications, Career Pakistan arranges an interview. For specialized jobs, Career Pakistan will, at times, accost the services of one of its industry-specific volunteer advisors to corroborate whether there is a true match. While there are many organizations coveting professionals, and many individuals seeking jobs, faithful matches between demand and supply of qualifications are not as abundant. Therefore candidates should not expect immediate results. In many cases, Career Pakistan will be unable to assist the individual at all. Similarly, Career Pakistan cannot guarantee to each organization that it will facilitate filling up of their vacancies, or even present CV's for appraisal. On the other hand, Career Pakistan will make every practical effort to minimize time of decision-makers exhausted in evaluating incompatible candidates. Most CEO's and heads of organizations do not work with Career Pakistan just to fill up their job openings in an efficient and effective manner. Many of them have themselves worked or studied abroad. Thus they have an empathetic compassion for helping fellow Pakistanis reposition and reside in Pakistan. Alternatively, they derive fulfillment from their personal participation in the shared goal of helping reduce Pakistan's brain drain. Several have taken an additional role of supporting Career Pakistan in an advisory capacity. Correspondingly, Career Pakistan engages a growing constellation of overseas Pakistanis to help sift compatriots interested in relocating back to Pakistan. Even though these overseas Pakistanis do not have immediate plans of returning to Pakistan themselves, by expending time and energy to facilitate others, they provide a meaningful contribution in helping turn around Pakistan's brain drain. All interaction with organizations and individuals is personalized. Even though, Career Pakistan operates computer-based solutions for internal efficiency, there are no web-based forms to fill, and no electronic registration. Whether you are an organization interested in hiring, or a professional desiring a job; Career Pakistan esteems all sharing our mission of reversing Pakistan's brain drain, and presents each person individualized interaction. Our preferred mode of communication is e-mail. Information received is kept confidential. Organizations: If you are an organization in Pakistan interested in hiring individuals with overseas education or work experience, please write to us. OR Professionals: If you have foreign
education or overseas work experience, and would like Career Pakistan to
help you find a job in Pakistan: Contact: |
