Testimonials
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."
Mission
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.
CP assists overseas professionals find an appropriate
career in the country to help reverse Pakistan's brain drain.
Additionally, CP 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 relies on extensive participation in
diverse areas from individuals located in Pakistan and worldwide.

Ahsan Ansar (Wharton School), Amina Pasha (U
Penn), Khurram Taji (U Penn), Saima Khan (LUMS) and Sana
Hussain (U Indiana-Bloomington) conducted research on expatriate
Pakistanis that was utilized by Career Pakistan to start extensive
worldwide networks of overseas Pakistanis. In addition, Sana
Hussian (U Indiana-Bloomington) presented Career Pakistan to
employer organizations in Pakistan.
Donya Aziz (National Assembly of
Pakistan) assisted in development of the Career Pakistan
strategy. She also presented Career Pakistan to employer organizations in
Pakistan.
Faisal Muneer (United Nations)
assisted in development of the Career Pakistan website.
Haider Qazilbash (United Nations)
authored the Career Pakistan write-up. In addition, he contributed in the
development of the Career Pakistan strategy, and presented Career Pakistan
to employer organizations in Pakistan.
Madiha Amjad (Citibank) and
Shafaq Gul (Faysal Bank) were Career Pakistan's
point-of-contact with potential employees and employers. In addition, they
undertook work related to employer-employee matchmaking, in association
with Career Pakistan's industry-specific experts for specialized jobs.
Furthermore, they conducted research on overseas Pakistani professionals
as well as employer organizations in Pakistan.
Mona Ali (Wellesley College) and
Sabeen Hafeez (Standard Chartered Bank) promoted Career Pakistan among various expatriate Pakistani groups and individuals.
Saleha Asif (PepsiCo) and Sana
Khan (Nestle) advised on Career Pakistan's strategy.
Tahir Ikram (Reuters) advised on
editorial changes in the Career Pakistan write-up.
Uzma Khan (Yale University)'s work of
preparing legal documents and presentations to potential employers was

Matchmaking
For many jobs, CP 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 CP determines a match between the organization's needs
and the individual's qualifications, CP arranges an interview. For
specialized jobs, CP will, at times, accost the services of one of its
industry-specific consultants 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, CP will be unable to assist the individual at all. Similarly, CP
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,
CP will make every practical effort to minimize time of decision-makers
exhausted in evaluating incompatible candidates.
Outreach
Most CEO's and heads of organizations do not work with
CP 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 CP in an
advisory capacity.
Correspondingly, CP 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.
Contact us
All interaction with organizations and individuals is
personalized. Even though, CP 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; CP 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.
Professionals: If you have foreign
education or overseas work experience, and would like Career Pakistan to
help you find a job in Pakistan, please send us your CV (resume).
Also, please let us know your: 1) availability date, 2) preferred cities,
and 3) minimum acceptable salary, for work in Pakistan. Please
feel free to include other information relevant to your needs, if any
OR
