He graduated from high school! Looking for work ...

Summer in the labor market Russia will be the order of a million young people have 100-150 thousand of them, according to President Dmitry Medvedev, may have problems with employment.

Capital Mayor Yuri Luzhkov announced figure of 9,7 thousand people - this is the number of graduates of Moscow universities, which, as shown by monitoring will not be able to get a job specialty. However, some experts consider this figure much too low. What job search strategies to select in the crisis and today can expect to graduate - we were told specialists known companies. |

Ah, the experience, the son of errors difficult ...

Experts agree that the most difficult to find a job will be to those who over the years of study did not have time to get work experience: "Almost all employers who contact our personnel center, they want the employee has already had experience in this specialty, - says Svetlana Kulicheva , Head of recruiting personnel center "UNITY". - Here is an example. Currently we have open vacancy "chemical engineer". The company, which requires the specialist would not mind if it comes to the student. But the existence of experience - the main condition of the employer. I note that in the past this was not observed, the companies were willing to take people without experience. "

Julia Lysenko, head of department to provide staff of the Moscow branch of Anchor Leasing Company advises those who graduated this year and has no professional experience, not to accept jobs in their field. But those who are studying for 3-4 courses of universities, it's time to start looking for work.

Anna, 21 years old. She is a student in full-time department of economic faculty of one of Moscow universities, passed the 5-th course.

I started working in the summer after the first year of the institute, engaged in distribution of leaflets. As a result, she was able to pay the rest - it was a great joy for me! After the second course again, I moonlighted as a promoter. In the third year settled seller-consultant in a large clothing store, where she worked a year. It was fairly easy to combine work with study, the more so for the surrender of the session I did not let go, and had to dodge all the time: ask for leave, to take sick leave, etc. In the summer after the fourth year I got a job as an accountant at half the rate in a small meat processing plant, where he worked until today

.

In accounting now working two people: me and the chief accountant, so I'm different areas of accounting - a variety of functions performed to my liking. Of course, since the crisis hit, working conditions have deteriorated slightly: all the staff a little to reduce wages, closed the dining room, where you can dine for free. But the benefits do exist: I have a part-time, I was released at the session, all staff can take once a week meat-packing plant products for free. In the autumn I want to try to settle in one of the companies "Big Four", and very much hope that the acquired knowledge and skills will help me do it.

But the despair of those who have no experience, yet it is not necessary - you can always find a solution. "Now there is a clear decrease in the number of interesting and promising proposals for young professionals. In such a difficult situation, we offer temporary projects, during which a graduate can get experience in a large company and has established itself for further employment. This is mainly for office positions: Assistant (financial, human resources, marketing, etc.), a secretary at the reception, the personal assistant ", - says Irina Kondratova, commercial director of international recruitment agency Kelly Services.

You can also find work in retail - despite the unstable economic times, in the retail chains still have vacancies. And often stringent requirements of experience at many positions there. "The requirements for employees applying for a sales manager and sales manager of financial products, the formalities in accordance with the TC RF: passport, certificate of insurance the state pension insurance, military ID (for boys) and if there is - work book -- said Leonid Bozhenko, Head of Training Center JSC "The Messenger CR. - Everything you need to know to work in a company, we teach in our training center and in the course of the internship in the shops network. "

If your extensive knowledge ...

Some large companies, mostly foreign, willing to take the graduates even without experience. However, the requirements for placing him at the same time very serious. For example, the company Deloitte wants to see in their future employees having a higher or incomplete higher education, high levels of motivation, determination, analytical mind, ability to work with information. In addition, you need a basic knowledge of Russia's accounting and auditing (for the unit "Audit"), or the legislation on taxes and fees, and accounting (for the unit "Tax and legal advice"), willingness to travel, computer literacy and English language proficiency a good level. But to offer young professionals ready to Deloitte are many: the opportunity for career growth and development, a wide range of educational programs and training - including the receipt of various international qualifications - to participate in interesting projects with the largest national and international companies. This year also launched an international program of recruiting for entry level positions for work in the Deloitte offices in Spain. The program is designed for graduate and undergraduate courses, are fluent in English and Spanish and interested in building their careers at international level.

From the university in the Duma

We want to make a career in politics can not get anywhere, but to work in the State Duma.

"Also, we help graduates find employment in other enterprises, - says Pavel Pyatnitskii. - Let's say a student comes and says that he would like to work for AMO "Zavod im. IA Likhachev "(ZIL). Then we send a letter to the company management, and in most cases, graduates take, despite his lack of experience.

How much now young professionals?

Gone are the days when the employer was willing to pay yesterday's students have not had time to cool down diplomas, 40 thousand rubles and above, if only they agreed to his work. Graduates of this year, their financial ambitions have greatly reduced. According to Yulia Lysenko, wages, which should be oriented graduates - about 20 thousand rubles. It may be smaller - for example, graduates of technical specialties, which may take the operators of production lines is about 15 thousand rubles. And in some office positions a little more, for example, the position of assistant department - 22-25 thousand rubles.

As we have said, the graduate is still possible to find a job in retail. Let not the specialty, but it and pay it all a little bit higher.
