Choice of profession - one of the main things in life.
Not only salary and a comfortable life, but also emotional health depend on the right decision - nobody wants to work where his abilities and talents are not realized.
We covered the main issues concerning craft selectionas well as a specific place of work.
List of popular and well-paid professions
In what sphere is it profitable and prestigious to work now?
We have compiled a list demanded and adequately paid professions.
If you have talents in one of the described areas, we recommend you to try yourself in business.
- Programmer. Programmers are one of the most prestigious specialties, the salaries of some professionals reach 200,000 rubles a month. Significant plus crafts - the possibility of independent learning. If you write a great code - the employer will tear off the hands. Education in the field is worthless if the employee is not able to do the work efficiently.
- Web Designer. Website creation is a very popular job on the Internet. This category includes not only the designers who draw mockups, but also web programmers and web designers who turn layers from Photoshop into a working web resource.
An additional advantage is remote work, and with knowledge of English, freelancing for foreign clients.
An experienced designer receives up to 100,000 rubles per month.
- Top manager. The best way to get this position is to understand the business in which the company is engaged. Jobs manager in a construction company and in a design studio require completely different skills, the main of which is knowledge of the subject area. Also, to become a general manager of a company, you need an economic education.
- Military. The military profession in Russia was always well paid and provided bonuses (for example, early retirement and the possibility of obtaining housing). Today pilots and cosmonauts are especially appreciated. If you are distinguished by excellent health and, most importantly, one hundred percent vision, military affairs are a good choice.
- Lawyer. Despite the popularity of the profession and the oversupply of law students, there are still few professionals standing.
The best lawyers not only get a decent salary, but also can open their agency, business or make a public career.
How to understand what you want to do?
I do not know by whom and in what field I want to work: how to make a choice? Deal with profession preferences can be in several ways.
Tests on career guidance. On the Internet are in huge quantities. Most often, it is suggested the direction of activity in which the test can be realized. Not a specific profession, but an area in which its potential will unfold.
There are five such areas:
- person (direct contact with people, education, training, service);
- sign (work with sign systems, languages);
- nature (everything related to ecology, agriculture);
- artistic image (classic creative professions: actor, artist, writer, director);
- equipment (maintenance, repair, engineering design).
First of all, repelled from personal preferences and desires. If you do not really like noisy companies and be in the spotlight, then the profession of a manager is unlikely to suit you.
Analysis of hobbies and activities. Most parents from a young age lead a child to the circles. And on completely different: from drawing to sambo. So they try to figure out the inclinations and talents of the child.
Sooner or later, the child will stop at the fact that the best lies on his natural abilities and temperament. Determine what you did in your childhood and how you achieved success. The scale of the achievements does not matter.
The main thing - familiarity with the process. Many wish for success, but do not realize the severity of future work. For example, a person wants to be an actor. In his head, he draws the pleasant attributes of the profession: fame, shooting from famous directors, face on the cover of a fashion magazine.
But he misses an important point - the acting profession is completely about something else: about daily rehearsals, constant stresses, hard physical and emotional work.
And if a person chooses a profession based on its external attributesthen in the future it will be very disappointed if it does not receive them.
A person who chooses a craft “process” will be indifferent to success and even more likely to achieve it.
Therefore, look at the work that you do best and in which you like the process even more than the result.
Stepwise Algorithm:
- Step 1. Write out professions that you are familiar with in practice. What did you do in childhood or adolescence? Sketch 10-15 activities on a sheet of paper.
- Step 2. Choose 5 spheres where you achieved the greatest success, where your natural abilities are realized.
- Step 3. Analyze the profession on demand - is it easy to get a job. Look at the dynamics of wages, whether you need higher education. Weed out the profession according to the criteria:
- salary;
- education;
- the opportunity to work abroad;
- the opportunity to work in any city;
- the possibility of remote work (freelance);
- the durability of the craft (will it disappear in a few years).
How to determine which activity suits you?
In this section we will talk about the process of employment.
To choose a job, you must first determine the criteria.
- Team. If you are not working remotely, the company's team is the main parameter. If the salary for vacancies is impressive, but colleagues are unbearable - it is better to refuse to work, nerves are more expensive. Pay attention to the interview process, with respect to people you can accurately judge the future of the working process. In the west, they often play “bad cops” when they test a candidate for stress resistance. In Russia, being rude at an interview is most often not a pretense, but a banal bad manners and disrespect for employees.
- Salary. Work must be well paid. Therefore, claim a salary that matches your qualifications. Feel free to ask as much as your work is not necessary.
But bluffing, playing a super specialist is also dangerous. Since the lack of experience will be noticeable in the first working days.
- The convenience of the situation. Here we are talking about a comfortable workplace, and distance from home. The easier it is to get to work, the better, because you will not waste time in traffic jams. The interior, when it comes to the office, speaks about the company's attitude towards its own employees. If the place is clean, there is decent furniture, good lighting is working, then it is worth trying to get settled.
How to make a choice between two vacancies?
How to make the right choice between the two proposed works?
For choosing the right organization, be guided by the criteria described above.
If the company offers a good salary and a comfortable workplace, and the team consists of pleasant friendly people, then suitable vacancy.
Who is going to work without experience?
Employment without work experience is a common phenomenon. Especially among university graduates.
In solving the problem is necessary build on education. If you came to get a lawyer and you have the appropriate diploma available, this is not bad.
But what to do if there is not only experience, but also education. We have compiled a list of professions available for every citizen.
- Cook. In the first place is an old time-tested profession. The entrance barrier is higher here than the others on the list, but the output is higher wages. To get a job, it is enough to provide a sanitary book. Then you will be taken on an internship (in honest companies it is paid, usually in shifts). After a week or two, depending on your adaptation to work in the kitchen, you will be accepted (or denied). The work is suitable for men aged 18-30 years, because it requires physical strength and great endurance.
- Sales Manager. In Russian - the seller. Most often, workers are required in shopping malls, in shoe stores, selling clothes, in salons of communication. The applicant is required to have a presentable appearance, tidiness and knowledge of products (in the salons of communication - tariff plans, in the electronics store - equipment, etc.).
- Employee in the field of catering. The scope of services we have identified in a separate category.
You can get a waiter, bartender, barista, cashier. Training during the internship takes less than a week.
- Loader. If you have endurance and physical strength, the work of a loader may well become a temporary means of earning.
Work for those who can not do anything
Where to go to work, if you can not do anything?
In case you didn't achieve professionalism in any of the areas, we recommend to do the following.
Above is a list of occupations that you can get without experience.
The entrance threshold in them is small, and showing perseverance - you can find 5-6 jobs even in a small town.
Settled on temporary work, analyze - what were your hobbies in childhood, what kind of profession would you like to get.
You can master most of the works at any age. You can enroll in the correspondence department and get an education while working.
How to understand that the work is not yours?
There are several criteria by which it can be determined that you are not working in your place.
- Unwillingness to go to work. The most obvious sign of all. If in the mornings you, with colossal efforts, kick yourself from home, then this work is not for you.
- Lack of success. People who are passionate about their work improve their skills and grow professionally. Failures do not avoid them, but for fans of their craft, failure is a way to draw conclusions, work on mistakes and move on. If you are stuck in one position, or you feel that you are not very well versed in the profession and have not taken up specialized literature for a long time, it means that you are not motivated. And if there is no motivation - probably the craft is simply not yours.
- Your work is only hours spent at work. The rest of the time you do not do, are not interested in their profession. You do not read business literature, do not attend courses, do not communicate with more experienced colleagues.
However, sometimes it is not a profession, but in a particular place of work. Perhaps the conditions in which you are forced to work, are the cause of discontent.
If you are working in this specialty with one employer and did not try to settle in other organizations - it means that the reason may be hiding in an inconvenient schedule, superiors and other working conditions.
If the work is unbearable, save up enough money to feel safe and comfortable in the process of finding a new job.
Look for other firms, try yourself in another organization. If you are a high school student, you need to carefully consider your future profession and take into account all the factors to determine it.
Your salary, lifestyle and, ultimately, happiness depend on a successful choice. If you are an adult, remember that never too late to learn something new and become a master of his craft.
