Want to hear the story of one of our young stunners? This one is Emaan's, the girl who had a lot of ambitions, and proved that she could do it all! So, let's hear it from yours truly.
Hi, I am Eman.
A 19-year-old design student, makeup artist, and an ibexian. (Yes, a bit of everything…jill of all trades, as many call me)
To be honest, my life hasn't exactly been a smooth ride. If anything, it has been more of a roller coaster (and not the one that pumps up your adrenaline and makes you excited for more).
But along the way, I've learned more than I ever expected. And I am truly grateful for that.
I was just 18 when one of my cousins recommended ibex. Pakistan to me. I applied, gave my interview, and got hired as a Customer Support Specialist.
And just like that, my journey began.
At first, it took me about a week to fully settle in. Everything was new. The environment, the people, the pace. Like most people, I was also a little skeptical about the night shifts. But surprisingly, it wasn't as difficult as I had imagined.
In fact, the environment completely changed my perspective. Working at a multinational company at the age of 18 felt so surreal (it still does, sometimes). Almost like I had stepped into a world I had only ever dreamed about before.
And then my journey took an unexpected twist - this time, of the good kind.
Some time after joining ibex. Pakistan, I was moved to the TV department as a Technical Expert. I was so happy to be recognized for my skills and to be promoted to a new role.
But it was a bit different. More technical and challenging. But that's when I realized something.
ibex. has so much to offer. More than I expected.
A lot of people have a very limited perception of what working in a BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) company looks like. But for me, it became a place where more than just learning about work…I learned about myself.
It helped me build confidence and understand how to communicate better. Most importantly, ibex. helped me grow.
And along this whole journey, one thing that truly stood out were the people.
Everyone here was incredibly supportive, especially during my initial days, when I had no idea what I was doing.
I still remember how nervous I was before my client interview. But my colleagues were so supportive and they kept reassuring me so I didn't feel alone. Despite knowing I was completely new to both the company and the corporate world, they made me feel at home from day one.
I recall that one time when I was going through a very stressful phase in my life. And then my friends at work surprised me with my favorite food and chocolates. It might sound like a small gesture, but moments like these made me realise how blessed I was to have such people in life.
They make work feel less like work and more like a place where I could belong.
That's what ibex. feels like.
A place where people genuinely look out for each other. Because honestly, managing your career, personal life, and education, all at the same time, is not a piece of cake.
But my team leads and manager were so helpful and flexible. They tried to accommodate students like myself as much as possible. Whether it was adjusting schedules or understanding when we needed a time off.
I remember needing a few days off during a particularly difficult time, and my lead supervisor approved it without any question.
But enough about work. Let's talk about the fun side of ibex.
From regular activities to picnics every couple of months, there's always something happening here. It helps balance out the workload and gives everyone a chance to just relax and enjoy.
As I already mentioned, life as a customer support representative is tough. But our management tried to arrange picnics for us every two months. We also had a new fun activity or a picnic every other month. It gave everyone a break from the tiring work to just relax and enjoy.
It was those moments that made the experience even more memorable.
And then came a turning point in my journey. Finding my dream job.
After about a year of working as a Technical Expert, I came across an internal opening in the Branding department.
The moment I saw it, I knew. This is what I want to do.
I applied, went through the interview process, and got selected.
Stepping into marketing at the age of 19 felt like entering a completely new world. A world I had always wanted to be a part of.
Today, working as a Marketing Executive is something I'm truly proud of.
Looking back, ibex. Pakistan was more than just a job for me.
It gave me direction. It also taught me that life won't always be easy. But you know the quote…when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. If we stay consistent, and keep learning, things will eventually fall into place.
My journey is still ongoing. And I know there's so much more to learn, explore, and achieve.
And if you're someone who wants to study, work, and grow at the same time…
Just know that it's possible. I'm living proof of that!
