Informational Interview

Good Mind Good Find

Well it was fascinating Talk with her.

I don’t know her personally very well.

I met her few years ago on my Phupho’s weeding. She was college of my Phupho.

But now she’s active in Punjab Police as a Sub Inspector In Bahawalpur.

I don’t have her number or any other source to contact her except of my phupho.

So I told My phupho that its was informational interview and I want to conduct from your friend.

Even My father, two uncles, cousins and many friends also working in this field but I want to know how to work and which situations face a woman where men have more influence instead women.

Firstly I scats Phupho's concerns

So my phupho Call her and told Asad want to talk with you and he want to know some details about your job. She replied to her Okay.

My feelings is anticipating and also little bit antsy because here interviewer and interviewee both are little weirdo for each others but something is going to riveting. 🙂

After few minutes I hold the cellphone and said to her Assalamualaikum

And in return got Wa alaykumu s-salam ….

After formal discussion with her I move on most awaited question because I really want to clarify, that is true or wrong which we mostly read on newspapers or social media.

I asked Did you ever face any kind of harassment or its exist on department?

I felt that might be personal question because after I found her quite for a while with long and deep breath.

She gave me complete answer on this sentences.

“If your focus is only on your work then you are fine but when put concentration or time on others activities and situations then your own self responsible for anything.

Harassment is not only exist in department, its roots now everywhere.

After that she said I have to go.

its conversation is end to here.

During talk with her she try to tell me one most important thing that is woman empowerment (which has now big role in every society) huge influence in everywhere. she also try to show the ability of women to enjoy their rights to control and benefit from resources, assets, income and their own time, as well as the ability to manage risk.

That was really interesting and tough task for me…
