Choosing the right profession is a rather laborious and not very simple matter, since a profession is usually chosen for life and very rarely changes.
First of all, let’s define what a profession is? In many explanatory dictionaries, this concept is deciphered as a type of activity. However, a profession is also understood as daily affairs and concerns that determine the lifestyle of a particular person and allow him to feel like an accomplished person.
Spending time and energy on getting a profession that is not in demand on the labor market today is very unreasonable, since you are unlikely to get a job, and you will not be able to provide for yourself.
So what advice can you give to those who want to find a calling and a job??
Firstly, you need to take the choice of profession very seriously, since work in St. Petersburg or in any other large city is always highly competitive. Decide which professions are of interest to you and make a choice based on the degree of their demand. At the same time, remember that a profession that was completely forgotten yesterday may become especially in demand today. For example, this happened with engineering specialties, which 10 years ago were classified as “endangered”, and at the moment they occupy one of the first places in demand.
In order to determine how promising in terms of employment a profession you are interested in, you need to study newspaper and Internet ads.
Each profession in a specific period of time has its maximum and minimum wages. Before choosing a profession, it is not superfluous to find out what salary you can expect if you choose a specialty that interests you. Sometimes you can find out about wages from ads. You can also read the resumes of applicants for these vacancies by opening the section work in Volgograd.
The criterion of the importance of the profession you are interested in for society, you can choose its position in the labor market.
Before you decide which profession to choose, you should try to get a realistic idea of the kind of work that you will have to do. Very often, these ideas are very far from reality, and when starting work, a young person can experience real disappointment.
To prevent this from happening to you, try to make a table of wishes for your future profession. It should include such concepts as the desired occupation, nature of work, mode of work, employment (partial or full-time) and, of course, growth prospects. Evaluate each item by pre-setting a rating scale, and calculate the points for each of the items.
In order for your assessments to be as objective as possible, you need to communicate with those who have been working in the field you are interested in for a long time.
When you have determined that this profession suits you, you need to understand whether you are suitable for it.
This assessment should be carried out on the following points: for health reasons, for psychological characteristics and communication skills, for stress resistance and endurance.
It is not so rare that there are situations when a person still could not independently decide on the choice of profession. Then the only way out is to specialists from recruitment agencies or training centers who will definitely help you take this difficult step, taking into account your personal characteristics.
