How to Get Your Dream Job & Get Promoted Faster | HR Expert Hira Farid | Raftar Now

Everyone needs a job, but no one is ready for it. In this episode of Raftar Now, Farhan Mallick sits down with HR expert Hira Farid, founder of All Things HR, to talk about why Pakistan has massive unemployment while companies still can't find one person worth hiring. Hira shares what companies really look for beyond your degree, and why 3–4 CEOs told her they don't want IBA and LUMS graduates. She explains the honest answer to "What is your biggest weakness?" that actually gets you hired, why switching jobs in under a year is a big red flag on your CV, and how to stay valuable at work when AI can do your tasks faster. She also tells the story of a candidate ranked 4th on the merit list who still won the internship. If you're looking for a job, preparing for interviews, or want to grow faster in your company, this conversation is for you.
