Hussein Shabbir Marketing
“When it comes to learning, sky is the limit! Learning doesn’t stop as long as you’re curious to explore. The opportunities to expand your skills are endless. So, keep that growth mindset alive, embrace new challenges, and watch yourself soar to new heights!“
Hassaan AhsanData Integration & Quality Assurance
“Don’t worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.“
Maha Hanfi Marketing
“When you are just starting out with your career, most things will appear new and overwhelming, but you can succeed at them with the right mindset. Train yourself to say “YES!” to new experiences and opportunities. Seek out challenges, take risks, and don’t hide away from setbacks. Be comfortable with failures—better yet, replace failing with learning in your dictionary. As clichéd as it may sound, step out of your comfort zone—that’s where all the magic happens!“

“Never underestimate the power of communicating and networking with peers and professionals in the industry. It allows you to see beyond your preconceived limits and unleash the growth of your care.“
Rabeeah Alvi
Finance & Analytics
“Your initial days in the company are like a networking event, so make the most of it! Stay connected even after meetings by sending a friendly email or chat, expressing your enjoyment and interest in their insights. Remember, it’s important to be intentional about interacting with your coworkers!“
Maneesha Gotam
People & Culture
“Networking enables you to take advantage of personal and business connections, rather than relying solely on your resume. Networking to find a new job can also give you access to opportunities that you may not find in an online job search. Many positions are not listed on company websites but are instead shared only internally or through networking. This means that you need to be regularly communicating with those in your network, so they know your skills and experience, trust you, and know when you are in search of a job.“
Maneesha Gotam
People & Culture
“Your brand is a representation of yourself and your career expertise. It communicates what you stand for, your accomplishments, and your potential for success. Identify your target audience, communicate an authentic message that they want and need, and position yourself as an expert within your specific area of expertise.“
Ammar AliMarketing
“Authenticity resonates! Be genuine and authentic in your personal branding efforts, as employers and recruiters value candidates who showcase their true selves, unique qualities, passions, and the positive impact they can bring to a potential workplace, and how their skills align with the company’s values and mission.“
Muhammad Taha
Software Development
“Pick up a niche identity for yourself and take steps towards becoming that person. Essentially, fake it ’til you make it. I like to think of myself as an exceptional problem solver and actively seek out challenging problems to solve. Then, I document my achievements on my resume. Moreover, starting a blog can greatly help with documenting and sharing your results, so consider giving it a try if you haven’t already.“
Saif-ul Islam
Software Development
“Focus on a niche that aligns with your expertise and audience’s interests. Share purposeful stories, valuable insights, and actionable tips related to your niche to connect with your audience. Consistency in posting and engaging with followers, while staying authentic, will help you build a strong and trusted personal brand that resonates with others.“

“Work is a long game, run it as marathon not as sprint; with patience and consistency.“
Farhan Ahmed Khan
Product Research & Documentation
“Make yourself a priority by setting aside time for activities you love – reading, watching movies, or enjoying hobbies. Don’t underestimate their impact on preventing burnout and maintaining work performance. Take weekends to unwind and recharge, creating a fulfilling and balanced life. Remember, self-care is essential for your well-being.“
Tooba Ali
Product Research & Documentation
“It’s easy to get caught up in the demands of your job, but remember that a harmonious life outside of work is equally essential. Prioritize self-care, invest in your hobbies and interests and spend quality time with your friends and family! Remember, taking care of yourself is the foundation for a successful and joyous journey ahead!“
