Hello and welcome !
You will need a diploma or degree depending on the field. What kind of job are you looking for ?

Not got an exact job on mind just planning ahead. Maybe something within education, advice or mental health/wellbeing
@AngelaUK2021 It all depends on the field or job you’re planning to join. For example, if you have experience in office administration, sales, or marketing, having a degree is not always mandatory. Nowadays, many multinational companies are more focused on practical skills and experience, which gives you a good chance to secure a job without necessarily needing a formal degree.
Hi thanks for replying
that’s refreshing to hear as I have a lot of transferable skills and as far as I. Been told there are opportunities with international companies
@AngelaUK2021
Several international hotel chains r expanding in the country, with many new properties launching, especially in Islamabad. In addition, the mining sector is experiencing significant growth, opening up new opportunities & I recommend starting 2 approach these companies remotely. When applying, u can use a local Pakistan phone no. to strengthen your connection to the region. In ur communication, be sure to mention your availability and expected arrival in Pakistan (you could include a specific date or month). I will share with you some contact details
There used to be several international companies in Pakistan in the past, dont know about now.
But in order for a woman to get job opportunities, you need to live in either ISlamabad, Karachi or Lahore.
Area would impact a lot. So I would suggest to evaluate where you are going, what exact expertise do you have, then narrow down the companies/industries you could benefit.
Best of Luck
