There’s something uniquely interesting about what’s happening right now in one of the most remote — and most underrated — districts of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Haveli District, tucked away at around 8,000 feet above sea level near the Haji Pir pass, is not a name you’ll find on Pakistan’s mainstream job boards very often. … Read more
A friend of mine, Hamza, graduated with a Master’s in Education from a public university in Rawalpindi. For almost a year he sat at home, sent applications here and there, got a few calls but nothing that stuck. Then one day he came across an announcement for ETC Islamabad Jobs 2026 test administration staff. “It’s … Read more
My friend Sana has a master’s degree in Fine Arts. For two years after graduation, she sent applications to private design studios, advertising agencies, and the occasional NGO. Some never replied. Some called her in, then offered a salary she couldn’t survive on. Then one afternoon she saw a Dawn newspaper ad for NCA Lahore … Read more
A few months back, my cousin called me at 11 PM — panicked. He’d heard through a WhatsApp group that the Ministry of National Health Services NHSR Jobs 2026 had posted jobs, but by the time he opened the link, the page had crashed. He didn’t know if the jobs were real, what the eligibility … Read more
My neighbour’s son — a civil engineering graduate from BZU Multan — sat in our drawing room last Ramzan looking absolutely defeated. He’d been sending applications for over eight months. Private firms were either not hiring or offering salaries that barely covered fuel. Government posts were flooded with thousands of applicants. Then his uncle sent … Read more
My neighbor’s son applied for a CMH Rawalpindi Jobs 2026 two years ago. Qualified candidate, relevant diploma, everything in order — except one thing. He sent a photocopy of his deposit slip instead of the original. Application rejected. Not shortlisted, not called for interview, nothing. The rejection letter (well, the silence — they don’t send … Read more
My cousin called me last week, slightly panicking. He’d just seen a job advertisement shared in a WhatsApp group and wanted to know if it was real. “Bhai, PBS Islamabad Jobs 2026 — kya lagta hai, apply karna chahiye?” (Should I apply?) I told him to slow down. Because that’s exactly the mistake most people … Read more
My cousin spent three weeks preparing for an AJKPSC written exam — photocopied notes, late nights, skipped family dinners — only to find out on the day of results that his application had been rejected months earlier due to a domicile certificate issue. He never even made it to the test. The notification was buried … Read more
My cousin called me last month, almost out of breath. She’d spent three weeks sending CVs into what felt like a black hole — government portals that crashed, forms that disappeared after submission, and zero callbacks. Then someone in her WhatsApp group dropped a single message: “PIPOS Jobs 2026 are out, apply fast.” She had … Read more
A friend of mine spent the better part of two months putting together what she called the “perfect university job application.” Polished CV, strong cover letter, references lined up. She sent it all off and then… nothing. Weeks passed. She followed up by email. Still nothing. When she finally called the HR department, she found … Read more
