Joining the Civil Service of Pakistan

Opting for the civil service impregnably on the grounds that it will be lucrative, well-paid, full of portentous perks and privileges, unprecedented power vs authority nexus, the quality of accommodation etc. must not be the core reasons to join the services.

Firstly, one needs to be very realist, i believe, while choosing civil services as a career. One should join the civil service with an intent to serve the nation no matter it is at home or abroad. Every cadre has its discerning pros and cons. One comes to the reality, and nuts and bolts of a particular service when one joins it.

Secondly, civil service is not about money minting. Civil service is about the honour, prestige and the tag you carry to serve your people and country.

Thirdly, before joining civil service one should analyse what one has got to offer to one's country and service by meticulously assessing one's personality not on the grounds what a particular service has got to offer him. If someone opts for any service on the basis of perks and previleges, i am afraid to say he would prove to be a square peg in a round hole and will end in despair.

Fourthly, if your chosen service/career is your ambition, and you have the inclination then you would enjoy your service and would definitely be able to ameliorate the condition of your countrymen.

Note: Readers have the right to agree or disagree to what i have stated above.

Foreign Service of Pakistan (FSP)

Well, I have opted for Foreign Service of Pakistan (FSP) as my first preference, and believe Foreign Service of Pakistan (FSP) is not merely a profession but life. It has several facades which make it distinguished from rest of the cadres. I take this opportunity to highlight few of them. In today’s highly transformational world, FSP provides opportunities to its diplomats to compete with best of the best of the world. Challenge and change are inherent in a Foreign Service Officer's professional life of service to his/her country. A diplomat can make a difference in the world. Soon after you join Pakistan Embassy/Mission as 3rd Secretary, your challenges-oriented life embarks upon. FSP is a life time learning cadre undoubtedly. Learning and exploring discerning cultures, languages, civilizations etc. are few of the pile novel experiences which a diplomat undergoes during his career. In order to rise to the occasion, FSP officers build their capacities inline with the vibrant and dy...
