Ajax inside ajax not working - ajax

Question

I have a function that calls an ajax, inside that ajax another ajax needs to be executed. In the below code I gave my full function. Just to ensure that everything but the 2nd ajax works perfectly, I should point you out that before the 2nd ajax call there is an alert() function which works. That means everything works if I comment the 2nd ajax call. If I uncomment it then after the first alert a second alert should appear saying 'inside 2nd call', but nothing happens. Got any suggestions?
function get_employee_list(Parameter){
$.ajax({
url: 'resource/php/search_profile.php',
type: 'POST',
data: { var1 : Parameter},
async: false,
success: function (response) {
//alert(response);
reset_search_table();
$(response).find('employee').each(function() {
var ebasp_id = $(this).find('ebasp_id').text();
var ebasp_name = $(this).find('ebasp_name').text();
var ebasp_gender = $(this).find('ebasp_gender').text();

else
code_office = code_location;

//alert('before 2nd call -- '+code_office);
