We will tell you what steps you need to take in order to solve the issue of employment for yourself in a short time.

Even the difficult times of the economic crisis are no reason to give up. And in difficult times, it is quite possible to find a job, you just need to know where and how to look.

This article will be useful both for people who have little work experience behind them, and for experienced professionals in their field. Everyone will find a lot of useful and effective tips for finding the job of their dreams.

So, let's begin!

1. How to find a good job and where to start looking

According to the Ministry of Labor, unemployment growth was recorded over the past month (January 2016) in most subjects of the Federation. The Ministry of Economic Development predicts an increase in the number of unemployed by 400-450 thousand people this year.

This number can be safely added to the 3.9 million people who are already registered as unemployed citizens.

However, polls personnel services they also inspire some optimism: a quarter of all companies plan to increase their staff this year, although they are going to hire only the most energetic and competent employees. How to find a job in such a situation? Where to look for work in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities?

Where do you even start looking?

The first thing you will have to learn for yourself is that you will have to look for a job on your own - no one will do it for you. Although you shouldn't rely too much on the help of friends and relatives, telling them that you are looking for a job is your first task. Do not overestimate the help of employment agencies either: they are certainly useful, but they have their own interests and not every one of them fulfills its functions by 100%.

First, ask yourself a few important questions:

• What kind of job do you want to find?
• What schedule will suit you?
• What salary do you expect?
• Will you be able to work away from home and what would be your daily travel time allowance?
• Will work change the quality of your life for the better?

Once you have prioritized, you can begin to take action. If you are clear about what you want, you will be less likely to get a job that you want to leave in the first week.

And it’s also worth immediately identifying unpromising areas - places where, firstly, they don’t wait for you, and secondly, even if they do, they will offer you the minimum wage.

A couple of years ago, the most unpromising careers were considered: science, public utilities, culture, sport, protection. Today, according to experts, the recession threatens banking and tourism. This will significantly increase female unemployment.

According to forecasts, a decrease in the number of mortgages issued could reduce construction, which will cause an increase in unemployment among men.

The male part of the population has nothing to "catch" in the automotive industry either (at some factories there are already only 1 shift left, and salaries have fallen by 20%). The staff in the field of auto sales will be reduced, however, some increase in vacancies in the auto repair business is expected.

The stagnation in the catering sector will drive thousands of waiters and cooks out onto the street. Unemployment will rise among makeup artists, stylists, beauticians, hotel industry workers. Among office workers, a reduction in lawyers and economists is expected due to overproduction over the past 2-3 years.

All other areas are relatively promising.

2. Where to quickly find a job or part-time job

There are quick ways to find a job for students and people with no experience. We have collected in this section practical advice that will help temporarily find a job for those who need quick money but lack professional skills.

Student with no experience

There are thousands of offers on the Internet for graduates and university students. You should not be particularly happy with the number of offers: not all vacancies really promise stable income. Students are usually offered low-paid and labor-intensive activities:

• promoter;
• courier;
• waiter;
• Sales Manager;
• animator;
• guard (watchman).

Some types of work involve exclusively seasonal employment, which is just in hand for students during the summer holidays. With the advent of the worldwide web, job searches have become much easier and more efficient. Now it has become easier for a student without work experience to find a vacancy. We have already written, this article discusses, among other things, options for earning money through the Internet for young people.

Few continue to use print media(although newspapers and magazines devoted to vacancies are too early to discount): just go to the resource and get acquainted with the offers that are already sorted into categories and sections. You can even create a detailed resume and post it on job search portals, perhaps employers will choose your candidacy.

Without education

Work without education involves approximately the same vacancies as in the case of student part-time jobs - couriers, security guards, waiters, loaders, workers in trading floors supermarkets. Do not count on the special generosity of employers and do not rush to respond to the first offer that comes across.

To get started, study all the vacancies that you liked, make a list of the offers you are interested in, arranging them in order of personal attractiveness.

Weigh all the pros and cons and do not be afraid to say “no” to the employer if the vacancy has ceased to interest you for some reason (far from home, night shifts and other nuances). Do not be afraid if you are offered pre-training. So you will gain experience and skills that can be useful in the future.

Even as an intern, you can be persistent and quickly get a better position in the same company. We have already published an article about part-time jobs on our website, we recommend that you read it.

In crisis

The difficult economic situation is changing our lives. Above, we have already cited statistics on unemployment and layoffs in certain areas. IN this moment there is a clear violation of the balance of supply and demand in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and other cities of the Russian Federation.

How to find a job in a crisis? There is only one option - to be active in the search for vacancies: post resumes not on one Headhanter site, but at least on 3-5 portals. Employers' budgets for finding workers are also limited, and searching through recruitment agencies mostly paid for employers.

The right approach to the job search business is half or even a large part of success.

It is not so important whether you have experience and knowledge, whether you graduated from a university or only 9 grades of school, main factor: self-confidence, awareness, desire to develop and improve. Our tips will also help you find a good job - read them carefully and be sure to use them in practice.

Tip 1. Be persistent and methodical - do you want to LOOK for a job or FIND one?

perseverance, methodical systems approach and theoretical training are the leading success factors. Decide what you really want - search job or find her?

"I'm looking for a job" is a good psychological shield against claims from family members and relatives. Do not forget that looking for a job is only necessary in order to find it, improve the quality of life and change financial status.

Important: looking for a job is also a kind of work! It should be approached as seriously and responsibly as any work. Once you've written your resume, don't forget to update it and post it on multiple sites. Send it to all employers who are at least theoretically interesting to you. It doesn't matter if you seem pushy - companies tend to appreciate persistent and energetic employees.

illustrative example

One of our acquaintances named Victor has been looking for work for about a year and a half, but has not yet found a place.

Searching for vacancies has become his kind of daily ritual. He regularly browsed job search websites, wrote out phone numbers and company data, and often called potential employers. Sometimes I even went to interviews.

Even if he was quite satisfied with the salary and other factors, he still found some point on which this work didn't suit him.

The boss is a woman, the office is not in a prestigious area, there is no cooler in the workplace. In other words, Victor simply did not want to get a job, but wanted to look for it and create the appearance of activity.

With this approach, the chances of improving your life are certainly minimal.

Tip 2. What is better to choose - a highly paid job or a job you like?

The ideal, of course, is to have a high-paying job that you enjoy. But in practice, a highly profitable place is not always to your liking.

The question posed in the title of this paragraph, each decides individually.

Psychologists insist that it is better to do what you like, even if this business does not bring high income straightaway.

• Firstly, any work involves the development of professional skills. Perhaps at the moment the salary is not too high, but by improving your qualifications and level, you can always count on an increase in income.
• Secondly, going to work that you do not like, like hard labor, experiencing negative emotions, is unhealthy.

The immune system directly depends on our psycho-emotional state: it has been proven that people who are engaged in an unloved business and perceive work as a “necessary evil” are more likely to get infectious and chronic diseases.

A person spends a significant part of his life at work. Do you want to be constantly depressed, complain about life, sleep poorly and count the minutes until the end of the working day? We are sure not.

So, make a choice in favor of the vacancy that you personally will like, and not your husband (wife, mother-in-law, dad, mom).

Tip 3: Use as many different job search options as possible

Diversify your search as much as possible. The more job search methods you use, the higher the chance of success. In the next section of the article, we will take a closer look at them, pointing out the advantages (and possible disadvantages) of each of them.

There are certain rules for writing a resume that should be followed if you want to impress the employer as a prepared, purposeful and serious person. A resume is the first thing an employer bases his conclusions on when considering a specific candidate for an applicant.

The resume should be:

• Concise and containing only relevant and important information. The employer usually does not have time to read your detailed and detailed essays, so the information should be placed as concisely, effectively, and correctly as possible. Don't describe your life path in the column "about myself", starting from kindergarten. This should contain information useful to the employer, emphasizing your professional merit or evidence of the ability to work in a team.
• Written without errors and logical inconsistencies. Even if you are hired as a turner at a factory, you must show yourself to be a competent and responsible person: fortunately, at present, it is not difficult to check the text for errors. The ability to present information in a logical and structured way is a quality that is valued in any position.
• Smartly designed. Each column in this document is assigned certain place. If you write about professional and personal qualities in one section or if you are careless in the design of your resume, HR specialists are unlikely to bombard you with interview invitations.

The resume must include: personal and contact details, wishes for future work, experience, professional skills, education, available awards and diplomas of a professional nature.

Fraudsters - in this case, companies that either want you to work for free or hope to get your money. Online scams are especially common. Distinguishing honest employers from scammers is not easy: scammers know how to inspire confidence and impress.

The most correct rule

If someone wants you to transfer a certain amount of money to an account (down payment, loyalty check, payment teaching aids or materials), you are likely to be bred.

Tip 7. Prayer for work is your extra helper

Prayer-appeal to the Orthodox Saint Spyridon Trimifuntsky helps believers find a good job.

This saint and miracle worker, who lived at the beginning of our era, helps those in need to gain confidence, independence, and find their life's work.

They pray to Saint Spyridon during life's troubles, financial difficulties, in the absence of work.

There are almost no delays in the salary of the police, in addition, the employees themselves have an impressive list of benefits and privileges provided by law. But not everyone is hired by the police.

In banks, there are a lot of starting positions for which people can be hired without experience. In 1-2 years, many young people manage to grow vertically or horizontally in terms of career. True, it is not necessary to count on very large salaries for employees without experience. However, a year or two can be tolerated for the sake of a future career.

Rotational method

Builders, drivers, bulldozer drivers, tractor drivers and representatives of other specialties, whose skills are required in the harsh conditions of the Far North and the Arctic, work on a rotational basis.

The essence of the shift method is simple: a team goes to work for 1-3 months and performs its duties on the job - living in temporary housing at construction sites, mining or processing of minerals.

to the civil service

Far from the worst employment option (especially in a crisis). There is almost always a competition for the vacancies of civil servants: they choose the best possible candidate.

The recruitment process is a step-by-step process - first, all your documents and data are reviewed, then a face-to-face or written test for special training is carried out.

Work experience in a specialty (for example, in a bank, if you get a job in the financial part) will be a good help. You can find out about vacancies in the service of the state apparatus on the websites of the authorities of the city or region.
