The Directorate of Industries & Commerce, Government of Sindh, has advertised 23 Junior Clerk posts at its Headquarter Establishment in Karachi. For a single-post ad this is a fairly large intake, so it is worth reading the requirements carefully, especially the STS test, which decides whether your application is valid at all.
The Position
Junior Clerk (BPS-11, 23 vacancies)
- Qualification: Graduation from an HEC-recognized university, at least 2nd Division
- Computer skills: a 6-month certification course in MS Office from an institute recognized by the Sindh Board of Technical Education (SBTE) or Trade Testing Board
- Age: 21 to 28 years
The STS Test Is a Prerequisite
Applicants must already have passed the General Screening Test conducted by Sukkur IBA Testing Services (STS), with at least 40% marks, and must hold the STS certificate. This is not something you arrange after being shortlisted. If you have not taken the test, do that before anything else.
Check Your MS Office Certificate
The ad asks for a six-month MS Office certificate from an institute recognized by SBTE or the Trade Testing Board. A short or informal computer course may not satisfy this, so check the recognition of your institute before applying.
