Freelancing job
Assistant Supervisor (Current Employee) - Hyderabad /karachi - May 29, 2022
Its not a permanent job but it gives you good experience of handling strees and dealing with people. It also makes you punctual because its an exam conducting service and an exam should always start and finish on time.

Personally having very bad experience. Never recommend someone to spoil their time .
Invigilator (Current Employee) - Karachi - November 21, 2021
If you want to work with them then you just have to forget about the sellary...I have just done their several sessions but till now did not get my sellary they are not going to response any of your emails or queries ... They said that they have their so called name and profile and not going to compromise over it but they treat their employees badly .... Totally favouritism base. They didn't even allow you to sit during the exams....like if you are working their for 5 hours you are a human or Robots that you can not even sit.... Personally having very bad experience. Never recommend someone to spoil their time .
