As young professionals look for work during the crisis


Let's analyze in detail all the possible pros and cons of this statement and develop a strategy of behavior.
We do not need them! Companies cut staff, not enough new positions

Many employers after staff reductions in order to minimize costs replace the dismissed people with new - they were invited to the starting position is graduates with low compared with experienced payroll inquiries. In this situation, the position of graduates is very winning. Do not expose the big salary expectations now, a year and a half, a young professional compensates for the difference, as the market will sooner or later begin to recover, but it will affect the growth of jobs, increase demand and, consequently, lead to higher salaries.
We have too much of such high competition ...

In a situation where the market offers little and a lot of candidates who win are those who did the right thing your resume and well prepared for the interview. It is no secret that all the applicants make the standard errors in the resume and the interview.

Not to be next to step on the rake, please contact the professional consultants in the field of career planning and job search, career center at your university.
How to look for a job well

1. Follow the vacancies on the sites of employment.

2. Attend job fairs and career forums, where he met with representatives of companies and post your CV for possible vacancies.

3. Use personal contacts (friends, relatives, friends, etc...) In order to present his candidature in the company where they work - there is often preferred candidates on the personal recommendation of existing staff.

4. Compile a list of target companies in its industry and / or specialization of business directories, exploring the corporate website and send resume with a mark "on the starting position."

5. Do not forget about the recruitment agencies and specialized publications on the work. First, in the absence of orders from customers replenish the base and conduct interviews with interested candidates "in reserve", while the latter publish vacancy employer companies.
About the internship can be forgotten?

This is not true. Major Western and Russian companies will not curtail the program of recruiting young professionals (more on this - in the materials category "Special Features"). Possible reductions in advertising costs of these programs on the Internet and the media, so the task of the graduate - with redoubled force to apply directly to target employers. During the crisis, more often than it has ever been, visit the company's website and attend job fairs.
And maybe even learn?

Indeed, in the absence of work and in the process of searching for the best to do continuing education, particularly that which will increase the chances to get a job:

 go on business English courses;
 learn to work in a variety of MS Office applications (often an ability to work with Excel, PowerPoint is seen as a serious plus).

And most importantly - after each interview, analyze their behavior. Have an interview without any errors you can not practically anyone (even including professionals with years of experience in business communications). But at yesterday's students have a huge advantage - the ability to conquer the interviewer his sincere desire to learn how to work in order to bring the company's favor.
