The job market ...

Re: The job market ...

I do not think so.

At one end due to lack of job opportunities as well pathetic status of our education system. We are facing problem at both end.

The young are not finding jobs and resort to crimes (that explains all time high street crimes in Pakistani cities).

On employers prospective, there is big shortage of quality peoples. I found those who are really good (but they need to be lucky to get their first job in the first job), i have colleagues went on to become regional and country head of companies like HP and Intel.

I have seen so many talented young man earning good money in Pakistan as privet corporations are having difficulty finding quality peoples.

I must say that my experience is limited to IT industry.

Recently my daughter (who is working with a IT major) meet her colleague from Pakistan and surprise when lady shared that she is earning about 500K every month. She told her that financial sector is paying even more then that.

So there are lots of jobs, but few applicants? Your daughter met someone who earns 5 Lakh ruppees per month? Doing what?

Oh, you are from Singapore la? There, this is now written in Singaporean dialect la :D

I don’t understand what Tipusultaan said. At one point he is saying that there are no job, but then there are lots of jobs.

The last line is just a joke. Singlish - Wikipedia

The lady is working for sales side of IT industry (her 500K is including commission), but according to her it is common specially for Banking sector. Even my daughter was offered a position in Pakistan with 150-200K package.

What i am trying to say there are problem getting job in Pakistan, but it is both side.

Due to pathetic education standard we are not producing quality,

Each and every job advertisement resulting 1000s application, but most of them are without any real skill and willing to do any job available, but they do not have any skill to offer, resulting huge problem of graduate without proper jobs.

On other side privet organizations, are having problem finding right peoples, those peoples with right talents are highly sought after, and moving much faster in career.

I was personally involved with a small IT company in Pakistan, and few of my colleagues went on to become head of major IT companies in Pakistan and oversea.

Whenever i visit the company although they have 100s of staff but do not have even half of the quality compare to those guys at all. Most of the people only doing chamchgiri to bosses to earn their living resulting huge expenses without much productivity.

I am still seeing those good ones still getting fantastic opportunities and moving on career ladder at fast pace as corporates are hungry for real talents.

Seriously dude, what are you on about. LUMS is one of the best business schools around, and then you have IBA, LSE, etc. In engineering you've got GIK, NUST, UET, NED, all excellent universities. The standard of education is nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be. And most of these graduates are earning between 30-50k for the first couple of years so I don't understand where you are pulling those 150-200k figures from. Companies here are spoilt for choice. If every vacancy gets a thousand applicants, two hundred of those will be qualified and competent enough to land the job.

Do you really thinks all elite institutions mentioned are providing education for majority of Pakistan?

There less one 1% of Pakistani students lucky enough to get into these prestigious institutions and sure enough most of would not have problem finding a job.

On about earning the lady told her that financial sector in Pakistan do pays that kind money (not at entry level though).

On other side my own daughter then 23 years old almost fresh graduate, that might be exceptional case though.

She was working in the regional HQ at Singapore, supporting top management as a temporary staff due a combination of resignation of sub regional manager who was operating from Pakistan and Global Financial Melt down when there was total head count freeze.

She was the only Pakistani around, the management temporarily assigned that position her till someone could be found.

Her performance at that position not only earned offer (150k negotiable), which she declined beacon family do not want her move to Pakistan permanently.

But another thing worth mentioning that later on they hired a 29 years old lady for that position.

Another thing my own involvement with that IT company.

It is medium size company well recognized for it's products. I have seen so many young man those with right talents and attitude went on making their name in industry.

The beautiful thing in Pakistan that, we are a big market and not yet fully tapped due to our security and political problems, thus there are lot of opportunities for those with right attitude and talent.

On other side getting those jobs are not easy as most medium size companies does not have proper recruitment system, there is lot is sifarishi culture which is not unfair to those talented young people also holding back the business growth.
