Post Event Review : P@SHA Job Fair - Karachi

Uncategorized Add comments

Sometimes things just fall into place. I dont know what the “magic” ingredient was this time, but this year’s P@SHA job fair was possibly one of the most involved job fairs i have been to in the last 2-3 years.  I think two things that would stand out were (1) great venue and (2) most of the kids who showed up not only came to drop their resumes but to attend the workshops that were happening. It felt more like am Austin or Bay Area technology event than a simple job fair. There was networking, job hunting, knowledge building, all rolled into one.

Apparently I am not the only one impresed…There was coverage on atleast 8 different TV channels and Netxpress has also given a thumbs up and has posted tons of pictures here:

The Next stop for the event is Pindi On August 2nd. Should also be interesting given that from what I’m seeing in the industry, the Islamabed and Pindi are the new destination for outsourcing firms… while Karachi can be more akin to “Silicon Alley” in New york, Islamabad /LHR/RWP is looking more and more like “Silicon Hills” In austin or a small silicon valley….
