This job has been posted by *Allied*, which is *Allied Petroleum (Private) Limited*.
Allied Petroleum is a fast-growing and well-known company in the Oil and Gas Marketing sector of Pakistan. As you can see in the advertisement image, they have a modern chain of petrol pumps / filling stations across Pakistan with the brand name “ALLIED”. Their petrol pumps sell Diesel, Super (Petrol), Xtra Super, and LPG, and also have “The A Shop” and Tyre Shop facilities.
This is not a small local petrol pump. Allied is a corporate company with a head office and multiple departments. It operates in the Petroleum industry, which is one of the largest and most profitable industries in Pakistan, regulated by OGRA (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority).
The department for this vacancy is the *Accounts & Finance Department*. As written in the ad, “We are looking for a motivated Accounts Intern to join our Accounts & Finance team.” The Accounts & Finance team is the heart of any company, especially a petroleum company where daily transactions are in crores. This team handles all money matters, bills, bank dealings, and financial reports. The Allied logo is visible on the top left corner with a yellow and white color on a red background, which is their official brand identity.
This is a corporate internship, not a job at a petrol pump as a cashier or attendant. You will be working in the main office with the finance professionals.
2. List of All Jobs That Have Been Posted
In this advertisement, only *ONE position* has been announced.
The position is:
*ACCOUNTS INTERN*
The ad headline says “WE’RE HIRING! ACCOUNTS INTERN” in bold letters. There are no multiple jobs like Sales Officer, Marketing Manager, or Engineer. The company is specifically looking for only one category, which is an intern for the Accounts department.
However, even though it is only one title, usually companies hire 2-3 interns under the same title, so it is a great opportunity for multiple fresh graduates.
It is an *Internship*, not a permanent job, but in many companies like Allied, interns who perform well get a permanent job offer.
3. Name of Each Job, Education Required, Experience and Any Conditions
*Job Name: Accounts Intern*
Here is the detailed breakdown of eligibility and requirements:
*A. Eligibility / Education Required:* The ad has given a very clear and wide list of eligible degrees under “Eligibility:”

*B. Experience Required:*
– *Fresh graduates / final-semester students*
This is the most important and positive point of this ad.
– Fresh graduates can apply, meaning if you have just completed your degree with ZERO experience, you are eligible. – Even more importantly, *final-semester students* can also apply. This means if you are currently studying in your 7th or 8th semester and your degree is not yet complete, you can still apply for this internship. Most companies do not allow current students, but Allied is giving a chance to them.
*C. Other Conditions / Skills Required:*
– *Basic knowledge of accounting & MS Excel* – You should know basic accounting concepts like debit, credit, journal entries, ledger, and you should know how to use MS Excel for formulas, sheets, etc. – *Good communication and willingness to learn* – You should have good communication skills and you must be eager to learn. As an intern, you are not expected to be an expert, but you must be willing to learn.
*D. Key Learning Areas – What You Will Learn:* The ad also tells you what you will learn during this internship. This is very educational:
1. Accounting & Financial Record Keeping 2. Invoice Processing & Documentation – How to process bills 3. Bank Reconciliations – Matching company accounts with bank statements 4. Accounts Payable & Receivable – Money the company has to pay and money the company has to receive 5. Financial Reporting Support – Helping in making financial reports 6. ERP & MS Excel Exposure – Learning to work on ERP software (Enterprise Resource Planning software like SAP, Oracle) which is very valuable for your future career.
*E. Special Condition:* *Male & Female candidates are encouraged to apply.* This is an equal opportunity internship. Both boys and girls can apply.
4. Location of the Job
The location of the job is *NOT explicitly mentioned* in the text of the advertisement.
However, we can get a strong hint from the context:
– Allied Petroleum’s head office is located in *Lahore, Punjab*. Most of their corporate Accounts & Finance team is based in Lahore. – The image shows a modern Allied petrol station, which is just for branding. – It is a corporate office internship, not a site-based job.
Since the location is not mentioned, it is assumed to be at their Head Office in Lahore. However, some candidates from other cities might be able to do it remotely or at a regional office, but you should confirm via email.
If you are living outside Lahore, you can still apply and ask about the location in your email. But preference will likely be given to candidates who can join the head office physically.
5. How to Apply for the Job and What is the Last Date
*How to Apply:* The application method is very clear and professional.
You have to submit your CV to:
*Email: jobs@alliedpetroleum.com.pk*
*Subject Line: Accounts Intern*
This is a critical condition. The ad says “Submit your CV to jobs@alliedpetroleum.com.pk with ‘Accounts Intern’ in the subject line.”
It means when you send your email, you MUST write “Accounts Intern” in the subject line of the email. If you write “Need Internship” or leave it blank, your CV may be ignored by the automated system.
You should attach your updated CV and make sure your CV mentions your http://B.Com / BBA / http://M.Com / ACCA qualification and your basic accounting and Excel skills.
*Last Date to Apply:* There is *NO last date or deadline* mentioned in this advertisement. The ad says “APPLY NOW!” which means it is urgent.
No deadline means the position is open until filled. Allied will close it as soon as they find suitable interns. Because it is open for fresh graduates and final-semester students, it will receive hundreds of applications very quickly.
Therefore, you should apply *immediately, today itself*. Do not wait for the last date, because there is no last date.
6. General Information About This Advertisement
This advertisement provides a lot of valuable knowledge for students and job seekers.
*First, it shows the difference between a Job and an Internship.* Many students get confused. This is an Accounts Intern position. An internship is a training period, usually 3 to 6 months, where you learn practical work. It may be paid or unpaid (the ad does not mention stipend). The main goal is learning. The ad clearly mentions under “What You’ll Gain: Hands-on corporate experience, Professional learning and growth opportunities, Friendly and dynamic work environment.” So the main benefit is experience, not salary. But this experience makes your CV very strong for future permanent jobs.
*Second, it is a perfect example of an industry-academia link.* Allied is allowing final-semester students to apply. This is a great initiative because it allows students to get practical experience even before their degree is completed. It helps them understand what they are studying in books. http://B.Com and BS Accounting students should take advantage of such internships to learn ERP and Financial Reporting which are not taught in detail in colleges.
*Third, it highlights the importance of MS Excel and ERP.* The ad mentions MS Excel twice – once in eligibility and once in learning areas. In the modern Accounts field, you cannot survive without advanced Excel. Also, ERP exposure is mentioned, which is a very high-demand skill. If you learn ERP like SAP FI or Oracle Financials during this internship at Allied, your market value will increase 10 times. Every big company uses ERP.
*Fourth, the ad is 100% genuine and direct.* The email is @alliedpetroleum.com.pk which is the official domain of the company. There is no consultancy, no WhatsApp number, and no fee. It is a direct internship offered by the company itself. The red and yellow branding with the Allied logo and the professional design confirms its authenticity.
*Finally, this is a golden chance for commerce background students.* http://B.Com and http://M.Com students often complain that all good internships are for BBA or ACCA students. But this ad specifically mentions http://B.Com and http://M.Com first. Also, ACCA Part Qualified students can apply, which is rare because ACCA students are usually expected to have more experience. The petroleum industry is a stable and high-paying industry. Starting your career as an Accounts Intern in a petroleum company like Allied will give you a very strong foundation and your CV will stand out when you apply for jobs in PSO, Shell, Total Parco, or other oil companies in the future.
