It is no secret that it is quite problematic for a young specialist who has recently graduated from a university to get a job. All other things being equal, many employers prefer to give vacancies to qualified employees with work experience. But recently, there has been a tendency when the demand for young professionals begins to increase.
What prevents young professionals from getting a job
Recruiting companies that are engaged in the selection of personnel for companies looking for professionals say that the number of firms that are ready to hire specialists with higher education who have no work experience has recently been growing. Thus, according to the assessment of Internet portals dedicated to job search, the number of such companies from 58%, noted in 2012, in 2014 increased to 62%.
But at the same time, employers note the overstated requirements of recent graduates, which simply hinder them in their search for work. Trying to “sell” themselves at a higher price, they inadequately assess their own capabilities. Experts advise to pacify ambitions and agree to the proposed salary in order to subsequently establish yourself and count on an increase. In any case, within a year you will be considered a specialist with work experience and you will be able to start your search again, already claiming more.
In addition, many students, in order to find a better offer on the labor market after graduation, undergo internships in specialized companies during their studies. If you are applying for a good salary, you should make an effort for another 3-4 course.
Where young professionals are expected
Traditionally, they are welcome in companies related to IT-technologies, but recently, graduates, for example, law schools without work experience have been accepted in law firms. This is due to the fact that they have already studied according to new regulatory documents, have a fresh "clean" look and a new approach to solving many legal issues. For the same reason, young specialists are in demand in many government organizations.
In addition, large companies, the staff of which exceeds 5,000, are not only ready to take students of specialized universities for paid internships, but also pay for their further education in the event that the student is able to prove himself well. This policy allows these companies to solve personnel issues and form a team of highly qualified professionals, raising their own personnel and presenting them to gain practical experience at their production base. But you should take into account that such companies do not advertise on the Internet and in newspapers. If you are a graduate or still studying at a university, you should contact HR managers directly, using the Internet sites that almost all large enterprises have.
