Looking for a job in Pakistan

Firstly, one resource that is worth signing up for is Pak Jobs IT. It has about 25217 members. It is a Yahoo! Group so what you would need to do is send them an empty email using your email account to pak-jobs-IT-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and they will mail you latest jobs right into your mail box.

Their homepage address is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pak-jobs-IT/

Secondly, try to narrow down your job search and target only couple of jobs/companies. This approach works better than any job or any company. Mailing your CVs randomly would not help and you will get frustrated pretty soon.

  • Try sites like http://www.cv-library.co.uk for putting your CV together.
  • Basically the CV should be two pages maximum otherwise you are putting a lot more than necessary. Just put the relevant information not all your life history from Nursery to Graduation.
  • Do not let anybody reformat your CV according to a specific standard. Make sure your CV stands out with a personal touch.
  • Make sure you get the name of the person you should be sending applications to. You can call the number advertised and ask them who you should be addressing your cover letter.
  • Don’t use MS Word for your CV because it is not flexible try to send your CV in PDF format. You can make a PDF online using a free trial at Adobe, you will have to sign up… other way is to just buy Adobe Acrobat Professional from Hafeez Center.

Well best of Luck!!
