Most popular Careers in Pakistan

Everybody is complaining about the slowed down local job market and lower wages in Pakistan. In fact it is true to some extent, Pakistan is also facing economic slow down like everywhere else in the World, but arguably the situation is not as bad as in some other countries like USA, Europe, Australia and Middle East.

No matter what is the economic situation in Pakistan, We will always send out a positive message to its visitors, because one should never lose hope and always should have positive thinking. Despite of all the economic slow down, there are still some careers that are in demand and rather are thriving, so here is the list of in demand jobs with a little brief:

Tele Sales Representative:
Tele Sales Representatives (TSR) are really in demand, we have calls from employers every day requiring TSRs, and they do not need them in small numbers like 2,3 or 4 they want them in large numbers like 10, 20, 30. As the title suggests TSR’s main responsibility is to drive sales by calling customer through Telephone. The skills required are excellent communication in English(Foreign Call Centers) or Urdu (For Local Call Centers). Some companies do not have strict educational requirements but graduates are preferred.

PHP Developers:
There is really a short fall of PHP developers in the market, the main reason being that most educational institutes do not teach PHP in their computer science programs. PHP is a really hot language for web development these days, every other open source is developed using PHP. Some of the most popular websites are developed using PHP.

Graphic Designers:
Creative Graphic designers are always in demand, they give shape to ideas and translate company vision into graphics. Graphic designers are required in the fields of print media, electronics media and on internet. The demand is endless, however the supply has a shortfall. There are only a few institutes that are producing good graphic designers.
We strongly believe that this area is being neglected by institutes and student as well and has great potential for a successful career.

Sales representatives:
This career should have topped our hot careers list; however since we wanted to highlight other career opportunities that were rather neglected, therefore this comes at number four on our top careers list. Sales people are always in demand; these are the guys and girls that drive all the revenue to the companies and are the a backbone of any company. Qualification requirements vary from product to product and company to company, however for a top notch career in a good company MBA is a recommended degree program.
