Introduction
The Quetta Electric Supply Company supplies electricity to most districts of Balochistan, and this recruitment fills its vacant posts across the province in one go. QESCO alone accounts for 61 per cent of all 4,599 Balochistan posts advertised on the National Job Portal by 55 federal departments. Every one of the 46 listings is a contract post on a lump-sum basis, non-pensionable, and every listing is tagged “Balochistan Domicile Required”. Most posts do not ask for experience — 2,398 of the 2,798 seats are marked “Fresh (No exp)” — so a young Matric pass candidate with a Balochistan domicile has more than a thousand seats to aim at. There is no written test for these posts; selection is through walk-in interviews at district level. The portal listings do not state a salary for any post, and the contract length is not stated on the listings either — do not believe anyone who quotes a pay figure as official.
