LCPL CAREERS PORTAL Candidate User Guide

๐Ÿ“˜ How to Apply & Track
This guide walks you through creating an account, browsing open positions, submitting your application, and tracking its progress on the LCPL Careers Portal.

What's in this guide

1 Getting Started

Open the Careers Portal in your web browser. You'll see two options on the homepage:

๐Ÿ‘ค Candidate Portal For job seekers โ€” this is you. Under Candidate Portal, you can log in, create an account, or view open jobs right away without logging in.
๐Ÿ” HR/Admin Portal For HR staff only.

2 Browsing Open Positions

Click "View Open Jobs" (or "Jobs" in the top menu) to see every currently open role. Each job card shows the department, location, job type, experience required, when it was posted, and its application deadline.

๐Ÿ“ Karachi ๐Ÿ’ผ Full-time ๐Ÿ“… Posted 2d ago โณ Deadline: 15 Oct
View Details

Click "View Details" on any job card to open the full description in a popup, including the required qualification if one is specified.

๐Ÿ“Œ Note

Jobs automatically disappear from this list once their deadline passes โ€” you'll only ever see roles that are still accepting applications.

3 Creating Your Account

You need an account to apply. From the job details popup (or the homepage), click "Apply for this Position" or "Create Account."

  1. Enter your Full Name, Email Address, and a password (at least 6 characters).
  2. Click "Start Your Journey." You're logged in immediately โ€” no email verification step.

Already have an account? Use "Candidate Login" instead, with the email and password you registered with.

4 Filling Out the Application Form

Once logged in, click "Start New Application" (or "Apply" on a job listing). The employment application form is organised into six sections you fill in one at a time:

1. Personal Information โ€” name, date of birth, gender, CNIC, email, phone, and address. Your CNIC and phone number are auto-formatted as you type.
2. Position & Preferences โ€” which role you're applying for (chosen from currently open positions, or "General Application" if none fit), your total experience, willingness to relocate to Karachi, and whether you've applied here before.
3. Education History โ€” Matric/O-Level, Intermediate/A-Level, Bachelor's, and Master's (optional) details.
4. Skills & Certifications โ€” your key skills and any certifications or licenses.
5. Work Experience โ€” current employer, designation, joining date, current and expected salary, and your reason for leaving.
6. Upload Resume โ€” attach your CV (see Section 5).

Click "Next" at the bottom of each section to move to the following one โ€” you don't have to fill them in a strict order, but all fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required before you can submit.

5 Uploading Your CV and Submitting

In the "Upload Resume" section, click the upload area (or drag and drop your file). Your CV must be:

Once every required field is complete, click "SUBMIT APPLICATION." You'll see a confirmation message, and you'll be taken straight to your dashboard.

๐Ÿ“Œ Note

You can only have one active application on your dashboard at a time โ€” it always shows your most recent submission. If you need to apply again or change something, contact HR.

6 Tracking Your Application Status

Your dashboard ("My Dashboard") shows a visual progress tracker with four stages:

Applied
Review
Interview
Final Stage

Your current status also appears as a coloured badge (e.g. "Shortlisted," "Interview 1," "Medical"). If your application is not moving forward, it will show as "Rejected" with a polite note instead of the progress bar.

Shortlisted Interview 1 Medical Rejected
๐Ÿ“Œ Note

For certain stages โ€” being invited to an interview, sent for a medical exam, or rejected โ€” you will also receive an email automatically. Being marked as reviewed or shortlisted internally does not trigger an email, so check your dashboard for the full picture rather than relying on email alone.

You can also view the CV you submitted at any time from the "View Attached CV" link on your dashboard. Editing a submitted application yourself is not currently possible โ€” contact HR if something needs correcting.

7 Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply for more than one job?

Your dashboard shows only your most recent application. If you want to apply for a different role, contact HR about your existing application first.

Do I need to verify my email to register?

No โ€” your account is active immediately after registration.

What file formats are accepted for my CV?

PDF, DOC, or DOCX, up to 5MB.

I forgot my password โ€” what do I do?

There is currently no self-service password reset. Contact HR for help regaining access to your account.

Why does my dashboard say "Rejected"?

This means HR has decided to move forward with other candidates for that specific role. You're welcome to apply again for a different opening in the future.
