I was waiting a lot for my dream company state oil of Pakistan (PSO) to advertise new jobs related to my field of studies. Finally the post of MTO was advertised. As i mention that i was very excited and passionate to join PSO. So i want to drop out my resume for this post in regional office located at Edward Road Lahore. I thought that there will be relaxation for qualification as they are needed full graduate and i am in final year. With this view i go there with my resume, cover letter and passion. I know some of the officials in this office and they know me to. As office is located near HCBF, so after my college time i entered the office of PSO with the view to meet Mr. Noman Bashir who is market manager there. His office was located at 2nd flower. I went there and he was busy in a meeting at ground flower, so i had to wait for 30 minutes outside his office. finally he came back to his office and recognize me, so greeted me well. We both settled down in the room and he asked me reason for coming his office and i start from my elevator pitch. He gave a smile and after that he said that you are with wrong person as i am marketing manager not HR manager. I replied him yes i know PSO HR department is located in Karachi and i here for some advises from you. I showed him advertisement and he said yes this post is to be hired here but it is for Bachelors and you are in last year so you are not eligible for this post. After the test top scored will be invited for interview. and in case you apply and also score good what will you say in your interview when they will answer about bachelor’s degree? so you should not apply for it. he go through my resume and cover letter and appreciate me for my passion for PSO. he promised to inform me about any other related post when ever is required.

it was really great experience for me………………..

i decide to go in person with other companies to overcome my hesitation.
