The telecom sector has 3 categories:

Operators: We have six operators:

1. Ufone
2. Warid
3. Mobilink

After reading and getting all this information one must be aware of getting job in this sector of telecom. So for getting job in such sector there are some detail information and requirements.

Firstly students must be educated from a famous and high class university or institution and have completed the degree with proper skills.

If a student is having  good contacts and reference will be given a good job if a students is not having this so he/she have to start from an entry test and work as an internee in the company to learn the tactics.

When one is working as an internee so he/she must drop their CV’S in various telecom fields.

One can start the job from a sub con by dropping his/her cv there and don’t think at that moment about salary but try to learn steps of this organization and field.

In the beginning salary will be from 10. 000 to 20,000 RS but gradually it will increase but for increment one have to struggle a lot and should learn from seniors all the steps and techniques of this field very carefully.
