Pata Karao

Staying safe when you look for a job

Most companies hiring here are genuine. These steps help you spot the few that aren't.

  1. 1

    Never pay to apply

    Companies on Pata Karao cannot charge you for applying, an interview, training, a uniform, or a "registration fee". If anyone asks for money, it is not a real job. Report it.

  2. 2

    Check the company

    Every job here is posted by a company the team has verified. Open the company's profile from the job page, and visit the factory before you start.

  3. 3

    Meet at the workplace

    Go to interviews at the company's own premises during working hours. Take someone with you if you can, and tell your family where you are going.

  4. 4

    Keep your documents with you

    Don't hand over your original CNIC, certificates or passport. A photocopy is enough. Pata Karao never asks for your CNIC.

  5. 5

    Get the terms clear

    Before you start, ask about pay, timings, overtime, and when you'll be paid. It's fair to ask for this in writing.

  6. 6

    Watch for offers abroad

    Jobs on Pata Karao are in Pakistan. Be careful with anyone who offers work abroad and asks for money for a visa or a ticket.
