In light of the vision of Digital Pakistan, the Federal Government has launched a new job portal to tackle unemployment in the country and for a centralized database of opportunities available for all citizens. The portal aims to connect skilled youth with potential employers and a central repository means that there will be many opportunities and vacancies available. The portal has been developed by the National Information Technology Board which has been at the forefront of digitizing government ministries and introducing digital platforms to transform conventional processes towards a modern future. The following categories are currently listed on the portal as of now: This single portal will allow job seekers to get employment in public sector organizations. It is often confusing in terms of hiring because there are so many government job portals and ministries that there needs to be a centralized platform for hiring and recruitment. While the initiative is indeed commendable but as of now, only NITB has posted their opportunities on the portal and no other company has. This shows that the portal has yet to be tested extensively for bugs and errors plus the government needs to onboard all public sector organizations to populate the database. You can sign-up on the portal here: https://njp.gov.pk/ and create your profile to apply for the job opportunities. Punjab Information Technology Board has also developed a unified portal “Punjab Jobs Online” which will enable job seekers to view all Punjab government jobs on a single platform. The portal will bring transparency and fairness in the hiring process. It will also decrease administrative overheads and burden on government departments. New jobs can be created and made available to the masses through a click of a button. Candidates will be shortlisted electronically as per the criteria defined in the Contract & Recruitment Policy. The portal will enable departments to formulate interview panels, prepare comparative reports, and verify applicants through different data sources such as NADRA, Driving License Management System, Domicile System, and Criminal databases. Candidates can create a profile through CV builder, use advanced searching criteria to find jobs relevant to their skill set, link public profiles (LinkedIn and Facebook), and get information about application status via Email and SMS. On Prime Minister Imran Khan’s direction for expanding public access to the Pakistan Citizen Portal, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development Sayed Zulfikar Abbas Bukhari Wednesday inaugurated the Citizen Portal web service. According to a press release of the PM Office, with its enhancement, about 80 million more Pakistanis would take benefit from the portal service whereas prior to it, about 35 million Pakistanis had accessed such facility. It would, now, facilitate public access further, enabling them to register their complaints against 8,600 institutions and departments. According to the PM Office, it was also decided to present the Pakistan Citizen Portal app in the upcoming World Government Summit. A total of 2.8 million people had been registered on the portal app so far. First, understand what an online job is. Online jobs are work opportunities that are independent of geographic limitations. Typically you have to reach your office daily and put yourself into a specific office schedule. On the contrary, online jobs offer you freedom from reaching your office and even following a rigid schedule of work. Rather you get the liberty of your own schedule and you can travel anywhere in the world or stay at home…and still keep doing you a job. Most of the online jobs are internet related. You can search for online jobs in Pakistan or related keywords in the search engines and you’ll be flooded with online job options. But beware, most of them may be fake or give very low earnings. Let us explain to you some of the most prominent options of online jobs. Most common online jobs in Pakistan revolve around data entry projects or website content management. There are organizations looking for individuals who can do some sort of data entry or data feeding to some website. This website may charge you for joining and these will also give you basic training for working. However, it is strongly suggested that you find a local reference from a friend who is already in this activity. Ask about the reliable employer who really can pay back once the job is done. Another online job type is that you launch your own website. This is a good option if you are a little bit of a technology enthusiast and can spend a really good deal of time online. You can start your own website or launch a blog and keep it updated on regular basis. Slowly your website will start attracting visitors and of course the advertisers
