With a population of 530,000 it homes inhabitants from all over the world and yet represents the true colors of Pakistan. With its lush green surroundings, air rich with political and economical currents and an aura of power all around, Islamabad can be easily compared to any leading capital city.
Hub of Political activity: Being the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad serves as the base for the head offices of all government sectors. A mature experience of bureaucracy and professionalism is offered by all government organizations to the interested groups. Jobs in this sector include jobs in government offices and their subsidiaries. Since the approval of 10% quota of private hiring in government sectors has been approved, a government level entry exam is not required for open management positions in these organizations, if available.

Information Technology: Information Technology is one of the booming industries in Islamabad. A large number of both small and large scale information technology businesses are based in the city. The city is the core for not only finding the best IT professionals but also offers leading and promising jobs in the industry.

Welfare Organizations: Islamabad hosts a large number of both International and National NGOs. UNICEF, Amnesty International, Red Cross, Saweera, Naya Janam and APWA are amongst the leading organizations. These NGOs not only work for the welfare and rehabilitation of the deprived masses but offer career oriented jobs in the market. Most of the international NGOs have head offices in Islamabad and base offices in the neighboring countries of Pakistan. They hire from the Pakistani employment market and utilize these resources abroad as well.
Foreign Services: The Islamabad Community and Culture centre homes embassy offices for different countries. From an employment prospective the job opportunities in this field are great.
