Q) In your opinion, which key qualities did you have which enabled you to join PMI?

Q) What have been some of the key achievements of your professional life & student life so far?           

At PMI I have worked in Operations, Internal Controls, Information Systems and Operations Finance. Not many people get to work in such diverse functions in a short span of time. During this time, I have learnt A LOT and have been granted 2 performance based awards.

I joined PMI right after graduation. Before that, I did a couple of internships at KSB Pumps Company and JGC Descon Ltd.

PMI is the largest tobacco company in the world and that gets you an amazing international exposure. The environment is great and your performance is rewarded. It’s a great company to work for.

Q) What advice can you give to others who want to join PMI?

Well, like I said, if you get shortlisted for the interviews, all you need is some self-confidence and you’ll be good to go. PMI has a recruitment drive in the universities including NUST, GIKI, UET Lahore and Mehran University. Doesn’t mean there aren’t any engineers from other universities though.
