Expert Advice for Applicants

1. Verify Your HEC Degree Attestation: Since almost all professional roles (PPS-05 to PPS-11) require degrees from HEC-recognized institutes, ensure your educational qualifications are documented accurately. If opting for the courier submission route, ensure all copies of your degrees and transcripts are clearly attested by a gazetted officer before mailing.
2. Quantify Creative Portfolios: For media-specific positions such as Videographer, Cameraman, Creative Content Writer, and Graphic Illustrator, selections rely heavily on execution capability. Include a clickable link to an online portfolio (Behance, Vimeo, Drive, or personal website) directly at the top of your CV to show immediate technical competence.
3. Double-Check NJP Registration Details: If applying online via the National Job Portal (www.njp.gov.pk), ensure your profile's work experience fields exactly match the timeline required by the PPS tier you are targeted at (e.g., matching the exact 8–10 years requirement for the Project Director track). Profiles with incomplete employment histories face automatic algorithmic filtering.
