[Jobs] A pakistani journalist is seeking for a job

[Sardar Pirzada]

My name is Syed Sardar Ahmed Pirzada. I am a 46 year old blind male
journalist from Pakistan. My studies and career is journalism I possess a
Master's degree in journalism from Punjab University, Lahore, Pakistan.
After, completing my post graduation I have worked in many national dailies,
weeklies and monthlies mostly of our national language Urdu. I have also
been editor of an English monthly for the diplomatic community. I also have
experience as anchor person for the radio. I am a regular columnist and
analyst on current social and political issues. I also hold experience of
taking interviews of prominent personalities in all fields which have been
published in various sections of the press and have received popular feed
back. In 1988 I joined a semi-govt. organization as a public relation
(information) officer, handling press and publicity matters for the
organization. I now work as editor of the monthly research journal of the
organization. During this period I have edited a book entitled "Pakistan
Mein Urdu (Urdu in Pakistan)" (in five volumes) which is a comprehensive
research study of the evolution, promotion and development of the Urdu
language in the four provinces of Pakistan and Kashmir. Apart from my
regular job, I have always remained in touch with main stream journalism. I
am the first blind journalist in Pakistan's print media who has such a close
association with the press on a professional level. I used to work with the
assistance of a reader and writer as I have received inclusive education and
have no command over Braille. However now I have attained computer skills
and work through a screen reader programme (JAWS).



*I have a great wish to work professionally with International Journalist
Organizations and Institutions of repute. It is also my passion to work with
international organizations, institutes and universities who are working for
the disabled, especially the visually impaired. I would be very grateful if
you or any one could co ordinate with me in this respect. *
