Telecom career guide for Pakistan
Babar
opportunities for internships and jobs in telecom companies (Chinese
companies seem to be the favorite). Putting aside the fact that these
people are not able to tell a blog from a job site, is there anything
that we can do to guide them? For example is there a good website
which I can refer them to?
Since we are on this, is there a good resource which aggregates
information about academic institutes which offer telecom related
degrees?
Thanks,

telecoms. There are job sites catering to the general theme.
We can do a wiki to collaboratively build a listing.

Let me tell you from a fresh graduate in Telecom Engineering's perspective that how and what type of situation we face when we pass out from college.
I recently graduated from FAST-NU Karachi with a B.S (Telecom Engineering) with a bronze medal and A graded final year project. I have been applying to various GSM operators and vendors for 3-4 months and have not received any interview calls to date. I have been told by my friends who got interview calls that they had references in the organization which secured them interviews and then later jobs based on their performances.
Generally, as Tee Emm mentioned that there is no recruitment program offered as such by any of these vendors/operators. I was lucky to secure an internship in the O&M dept of Telenor Pakistan comprising of six weeks - last year - but a heavy majority of our first batch passed out without any "proper" internship where they could groom themselves professionally. There is another problem, that is of relative closeness of the Telecom sector. There maybe a lot of vertical growth in various organizations but there is less horizontal growth. If there is any, I don't see it happening in the form of new companies popping up with new innovative ideas and services. There is a lot, that could be done in mobile applications area. Orion, which was recently discussed, is one such example. Besides, Telecom graduates are left not much choice out of bunch of vendors/operators and a few TV channels and an space research organization adding in the list.
In this booming industry, I sometimes get to wonder that did I make a wrong choice four years back when the industry was just bracing up, but I feel I am in the right place, probably we need right direction from the industry. More structured recruitment and internship programs shall be a great step in that direction.
Following are a few websites where relevant ads keep coming up:
www.finaljob.com.pk
www.rozee.pk
Then there are recruitment engines of Telenor ( www.telenor.com.pk/careers) Mobilink (jobs.mobilinkgsm.com) and Ericsson (www.ercissonpk.com ) to add to them.

out the various defeciencies of the job environment. BTW internships
are hard to get even in US and yes connections matter everywhere.
TM - I think the Wiki idea is great. We can aggregate info from the
main sources and organize it. Who wants to contribute?
