“If you study hard, you’ll go to the streets of revenge” are words that parents have been repeating as a mantra for generations.
For some reason, it is believed that frightening a child with janitors, an adult “speaks” to a small person, not a safe and bright future. Perhaps that is why in our country, professions related to maintaining order and cleanliness, to put it mildly, are not popular.
According to official figures, only 54% of Russians aged 25 to 64 graduated from various institutes.
It turns out that the remaining half of our vast citizens is doomed to a sad life without money and prospects? Contrary to the bored opinion, the availability of education rarely becomes a guarantor of employment.
There are some factors that make up the tower map.
Why is the former excellent pupil and favorite of teachers standing in a cap behind the counter of the store, and the tee and sloven runs the multimillion corporations? The reason is talent.
Talent covers the lack of qualifications. There is a lot of evidence in history. Remember Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Oleg Tinkov - what unites them? In addition to being billionaires, these three businessmen do not have a diploma of higher education and, frankly, simply neglected academic knowledge. However, in their case, the key to success was shark grip, insight and a talent for entrepreneurship.
How else can talent help you settle in life? Today, there are hundreds of work options for which a lack of \ o is not critical.
The most paid and prestigious professions are professions in the field of IT. Here, both inveterate techies and creative humanities will be able to prove themselves.
Programmer-developer, tester, seo-specialist, web designer, copywriter - these are just a small part of IT-specialties that you can master yourself.
Work in the beauty industry also does not require special education, but it is quite profitable.

5 most tricky interview questions
Interview From this simple word throws into a cold sweat. You do not need to be a personnel specialist to understand that a personal meeting with the employer is the most important stage in employment. If not fateful.
We will share a response strategy for the 5 most common working interview questions.
Why do you want to work with us?
Of course, you can’t answer “head on” here. Even if only wages are attracted to this particular company, a more sentimental reason must be found.
HR specialists strongly recommend that you prepare for the conversation and find out as much information as possible about the employer company.
Firstly, it will help to explain in an argumented manner what exactly this work offer was interested in. At the same time, it will add points to your candidacy in the final decision process.
Why did you quit your previous job
No need to be too frank in answering this question. Moreover, you should not complain and criticize your ex-employer. Keep a positive mood and come up with a more noble reason for dismissal.
For example, say that you wanted to try yourself in another project or in a new position.
Who do you see yourself in 5 years
The secret is that here the employer does not wait for a detailed action plan. He just wants to know the scale of your dreams and see how it fits into the company's plans.
For example, if you plan to go on maternity leave after 3-4 years, applying for a leadership position - it’s better to say about this before the interview.
Why we should choose you
A question that can confuse even the most experienced specialist. In a stressful situation, it is difficult to remember all the merits and attractive aspects. In addition, due to Russian culture and mentality, we are not used to boasting.
However, domestic HR specialists borrowed this “inhumane” question from their Western colleagues, and now even a welder with 30 years of experience has to answer something.
We advise you to prepare in advance and memorize all your professional advantages.
Tell us about your achievements at your previous job.
Perhaps the main question that will show you as a professional from all sides.
In fact, you should write more about this in your resume. Successfully closed projects, amounts of checks for transactions and any other results of work will tell more about your competence.
Be sure to prepare a list of achievements: what kind of profit the companies brought during their work, what became better with your arrival - and what worsened with the dismissal, the number of successful projects - and everything that can demonstrate working efficiency.

3 facts about finding a job this summer
In the summer, there is a peak in employer activity. While the vast majority of Russians do not even think about looking for work, companies are in full swing of publishing fresh vacancies. We already wrote how the volume of the employment market has increased with the advent of heat.
Here are several explanations for this behavior of employers. Firstly, the end of May and the beginning of June is the time for summing up the results of the first half of the year. After that, companies open new vacancies or vice versa reduce staff costs.
The job offer market as a whole depends on the fiscal year cycle and the features of business development planning.
The seasonal factor also affects. Already in May, the number of vacancies "for the summer" begins to grow steadily.
For example, now there are 240 thousand options for summer employment.
The surge in fraud is another unpleasant feature of the summer job market. Students and schoolchildren more often become victims of scams in search of part-time jobs for the holidays.
Due to age and specifics of the law, adolescents are one of the most vulnerable layers of job seekers. As a rule, they are not familiar with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, and it is easier to mislead them.
The “City of Works” chose the main points of the Labor Code on the employment of adolescents:
16 years - the age from which citizens of the Russian Federation are hired;
Persons over the age of 14 are accepted to work only with the written consent of one of the parents, guardian or trustee;
the employer does not have the right to establish a probationary period for a minor;
for workers under the age of 18, a shorter work week is established (under 16 years - 24 hours and 12 hours for students in educational institutions, from 16 to 18 years - 36 hours and 18 hours for students in educational institutions);
remuneration of labor of minors is made in accordance with general tariffs, taking into account the time worked.

The Russian business and the labor market in particular have not yet departed from the protracted crisis of 2014. There is a lot of work to be offered, but they are not in a hurry to hire.
70% of users admitted that they will still have difficulty finding a job.
Indeed, finding a good bet has become more difficult. The exceptions are professions in high demand areas: sales, administrative staff, and the tourism / hotel / restaurant industry.
Business owners are more optimistic. According to surveys, 30% of employers plan to increase payroll during the year.

Take a walk around the office or wait a few minutes in the fresh air.
Method # 2: Switch
Started. The boss or colleague is already raising his voice and gaining emotional acceleration. Apply the first method did not work and you were face to face with the aggressor. In this case, psychologists advise using the sensory switching method.
Cough, accidentally drop an item or speak on an abstract topic. For example, complain about the terrible heat on the street. This will lead the instigator from an aggressive mood and make you change your tone.

In another case, agree not to incur personal dislike of the job.

Why you can’t find a job - 3 main mistakes
In 2017, the employment process on average takes 4-6 months.
On the one hand, employers who are looking for at least Marvel heroes, on the other hand, are candidates who storm the job market without training.
Now it’s not enough to be executive and competent. Employees are selected according to psychotypes, temperants, zodiac signs and anything else. They arrange hours of testing and multi-level interviews.
Sometimes a working interview resembles an interrogation with addictions, and the job ads give the impression that they are not looking for an employee - a friend: sociable, with a sense of humor, fond of sports.
To be honest, finding a job on “10 out of 10” the first time is a great success, but you still have to try.
