How Does One

go about looking for a job in Pakistan?
What is the best and most reliant way?

Pakistan is all about networking, talk to people, spread the word, ask people to introduce you to people that they know in your field.

Yes connections are very important or in other words 'sifarish kaam atti hai' in most cases. Best of luck.

Newspapers!

Some of the Tech. companies have their opening online.

I would not say sifarish. I secured internships and later job offers from fairly reputed local companies and multinationals there since I knew some people who knew people and could get my resume in front of the right person. The people who were in these companies were fresh grads anyways so had no sifarish power, all they could do is pass it to their boss etc. This way you avoid the middlemen of HR and recruiting, which in general are a pain even in US.
