Student Experience Testimonials

OCE’s primary focus is the student body of Habib University. We encourage student feedback about the various services offered and take their suggestions into consideration each time a new program is being developed.

“The Office for Career Excellence is not only about job placements but making you capable[…] From creating my CV to managing my online profile to workplace ethics, OCE has always advised me well. Presenting yourself to the prospective employer and showcasing your skills the right way is pretty important – OCE makes sure you ace it!”

“You can’t describe the ecstatic feeling when you jam with Pakistan’s best drummer, Louis J. Pinto; listen to his inspirational story and how he became Gumby. Every successful individual has a story and the Kahva Khana sessions by the OCE provide us with those stories. Individuals from nearly every field have been invited to these Kahva Khanas, from musicians to designers, engineers to activists to phenomenally inspire us.”

Office for Career Excellence is among the most active departments we have at Habib University. OCE holds career events which are very helpful to students to look into the professional lives of different fields. Last year alone we had a field trip to Pakistan Cables and had a session with officials from the Pakistan Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO)”

“Through the Kahva Khana sessions the OCE hosts each semester, we were able to see that behind every successful person there are stories that involved periods of struggles and hardships. Faraz Khan, Gumby, Bindiya Rana, Anwer Maqsood, Aatiqa Lateef, Mubashir Hameed and Hafiz Haq – all of them shared their inspiring stories with us and it was through Kahva Khana that we were able to interact with them and learn about their life experiences.”

“It’s pretty usual for university students to seek for internship and externship opportunities – Habib University’s OCE did a great job in presenting us with unique internships and externships. Being a part of the OCE Internship Program means that we get to build and maintain relationships and connections at a wider institutional level as well as a personal one – this has helped me in getting further opportunities in the future as well, which frankly speaking, I was not able to do in my previous experiences.”

“Habib University has all the student support services that a world class university should have and OCE is one of them. I have availed OCE services several times, and the counselling sessions have always been very uplifting for me. The OCE keeps us connected with the industry through field visits and kahva khana sessions where we get to talk to and learn from successful professionals.”
