Before anything else about qualifications or pay: this ad is not open to the general public. NAVTTC is hiring on deputation, which means it wants officials who are already serving on a regular basis in a Federal or Provincial Government department or an Autonomous Body, in the same scale as the post advertised. The ad states this directly, and it goes a step further to rule out a specific group: contract, project-based, or Tenure Track System employees are not eligible to apply. If your current job falls into one of those categories, this notice isn’t for you regardless of how well your experience otherwise matches.
If you’re a regular government employee and this fits, here’s what NAVTTC wants for the Assistant post:
- Eligible candidates: regular Federal/Provincial Government officials, or Assistant Private Secretary/Assistant (or equivalent), with a minimum of 3 years’ post-qualification experience or above
- Qualification: Second Class, or Grade C Bachelor’s degree, from a university recognized by HEC
- Place of posting: HQ (Islamabad); regional/sub offices anywhere in Pakistan
- Vacancies: not stated in the ad
Two Different Skill Sets Under One Heading
The ad lists separate skill requirements depending on which of the two roles you’re being considered for, and they aren’t identical.
For Assistant Private Secretary, you need a minimum typing/shorthand speed of 100/50 words per minute respectively, computer literacy, and a good command of office noting and drafting.
For Assistant, the ad asks for computer literacy and a good command of office noting and drafting as well, but drops the shorthand/typing speed requirement. It adds that experience in the Education or TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) sector will be given preference. If your government background is in a training or education-related department, that’s worth highlighting in your application.
How Deputation Postings Actually Work Here
Selected candidates will report and submit their joining at NAVTTC Headquarters, Islamabad. After that, though, they may be posted to any NAVTTC office located anywhere in Pakistan. So a deputation to this post doesn’t guarantee you stay in Islamabad, even though your joining formalities happen there. This is worth weighing if you’re applying partly to relocate, or partly to avoid relocating.
Documents and Conduct at Interview
Applicants must produce a departmental No Objection Certificate at the time of interview. Only eligible or shortlisted candidates will be called. If an applicant fails to meet the prerequisites of the advertised post at interview time, they will be disqualified, and the ad separately warns that submitting fake or forged documents, or attempting to influence the selection process, results in disqualification too.
What This Ad Does and Doesn’t Promise
NAVTTC states plainly that this advertisement does not confer any right of appointment on deputation. It also reserves the right to accept, reject or cancel any application, or the entire hiring process, at any stage, without giving a reason, and to increase or decrease the number of posts as it sees fit. No TA/DA is admissible for the interview. Incomplete applications will not be entertained. NAVTTC describes itself as an equal opportunity employer and encourages applicants of all genders to apply.
