Where do college graduates go to work? Sociology: what kind of profession and where can I work? Tax and insurance organizations

Not a single bank or firm, not a single enterprise, organization or financial corporation can do without jobs that will go to yesterday's graduates of economic faculties.

So, when entering the Faculty of Economics, who can work after graduation:

• analyst-economist;
• accountant;
• specialist in foreign economic activity;
• financier;
• manager of the economic department;
• actual economist.

The job responsibilities of certified economists will include compiling and maintaining periodic reporting documents, systematizing and summarizing statistical information, analyzing the economic and financial activities of the enterprise, performing various kinds of calculations, developing measures to optimize costs and improve work efficiency, monitor budget execution, economic support of any processes related to the financial or economic component of the enterprise.

The Faculty of Economics at Synergy University has been operating since 1995: it trains valuable personnel for government and commercial structures. University graduates are the most prepared in comparison with their peers to carry out the practical activities of an economist, since they have employment opportunities from the very first year of study. Why is it important? Because today it is extremely difficult to find a job in almost any specialty without having the relevant experience. And the experience of an economist is especially appreciated by employers and allows you to find a job that will become the key to well-being.

Studying at the Faculty of Economics

Dreaming of a prestigious education as an economist, applicants often have a rather vague idea of ​​what job prospects await them, what they can expect given the peculiarities of the labor market in modern conditions, how to build a successful career as an economist, and what is the average income of a specialist who graduated from the Faculty of Economics. To begin with, it is worth clarifying what future economists do during their studies, what skills and knowledge they acquire and what they can offer their future employers.

Studying at the Faculty of Economics involves mastering such disciplines as micro- and macroeconomics, corporate finance, statistics, econometrics, information systems in economics, taxes and taxation, international accounting standards, financial reporting, auditing, marketing, financial management and many others. Thus, graduates of economic specialties acquire the ability to think strategically, make forecasts, carry out financial and economic planning, keep records, analyze financial activities, operate with numbers, statistics and world experience for the benefit of the enterprise, regardless of the industry in which it operates.

Finding a job for yesterday's graduate of the institute is a task that is not always easy. No matter how prestigious an educational institution is, no matter how well a graduate studies, alas, employers are in no hurry to grab a young worker with arms and legs.

Why? And how can a graduate look for a job after graduation?

Course to work as a young specialist - how to make the right choice?

To understand the question - why is it so difficult to find a job after college - you need to understand and learn that the most important role is played not by a graduate diploma and not by his desire to plow 25 hours a day, but job market, the relevance of the specialty at a given time , work experience and a bouquet of talents of the future employee.

What do you need to remember to make the right choice?

• To start - critically evaluate your level of professional training. You need to understand that the knowledge gained in an educational institution may simply be outdated and even useless for the labor market. Moreover, serious training in one of the most popular and sought-after professions does not guarantee that all employers will be waiting for you with open arms at the foot of the career ladder. Why? But because there is no experience, no necessary practical skills. Therefore, we pacify ambitions and, without losing hope for the best, we are preparing for the fact that the road to the dream will be difficult and thorny.

• We define ourselves. Not always the profession will correspond to the letters in the diploma. A teacher can become an editor, an engineer can become a manager, and so on. Decide what area you want to work in. A profession in a diploma does not mean that you should look for a job in accordance with it. It is possible that much faster you will find a job that has nothing to do with a diploma. It's neither good nor bad - it's normal. It makes no sense to get upset, because such a turn is an opportunity for your self-realization in other areas and the disclosure of your inner potential. And any experience will not be superfluous.

• Realistically evaluate your capabilities. Where exactly could you apply your knowledge, talents, abilities and personal qualities. If you get a chance to combine your abilities with hobbies, then work will become not only a platform for development and earnings, but also an outlet.

• Do not run ahead of the locomotive. It is clear that a sky-high salary is the desire of every graduate of the institute. But if you have been offered a job in which you like everything except the salary, then do not rush to slam the door - perhaps this is the very high-speed elevator to your dreams. Yes, you will have to “tighten your belts” for some period, but in just a year you will already be called a specialist with work experience, and not a graduate of an institute without experience. Accordingly, it will be much easier to get a job at the desired position with a good salary.

• Be visible. In the process of studying, use all the possibilities of "self-promotion". Offer to make a presentation at the conference? Speak up. Asking to write a project or create an article based on a thesis? Take advantage of these opportunities. Employers will notice a talented student even in the process of his training.

• Start working before you graduate from college. Let it be modest side jobs, work in the evening or part-time - it doesn’t matter. It is important that you get work experience, which after graduation will become your trump card. And while your comrades will rush around the city, handing each potential employer a resume, you will already choose the best of the offers, having managed to establish yourself as a responsible employee. Or just stay with the same company but full-time.

• Don't forget special training. If you don’t want to work in your specialty, but don’t know where to go, go to career guidance training (there is no shortage of them today). They will help you figure out where to go so that the work is enjoyable, and your skills and talents are enough for employers.

Where and how to look for a job for a graduate after graduation - instructions for finding a job for a young specialist

• To get started, look at all the specialized Internet resources. Their number is limited, and individual sites are designed specifically for finding jobs for university graduates. Explore all the possibilities of resources, learn how to use them and keep your finger on the pulse.

• Write a resume. As you know, in most cases, half the success. Can't you? Learn the topic of writing a resume or contact professionals. It is on the resume that you can be noticed or, conversely, ignored by the employer. Do not get carried away - soberly assess the possibilities so that your skills and talents clearly correspond to those stated in the resume.

• Post your resume on job search sites. View vacancies daily, do not forget to leave feedback.
• Contact recruitment agencies. Just be careful - first check the reputation of the office and make sure it is positive.

• Pay attention to the forums that are created for specific professions - in such a forum there will always be a section dedicated to applicants.
• Do not bypass social networks - today they have a lot of interesting publics with job search opportunities, including separate pages with offers for creative comrades.

• After compiling a resume, send it to all companies and firms, whose activities are directly related to your diploma or other chosen specialty. Serious efforts are not required for this, but you can get 2-4 interesting offers.
• Ask about companies in your city, who have the practice of “cultivating” serious employees with full-fledged training from newcomers. The competition will be high, but talent and self-confidence will always make way for the young.
• Work through all your connections and acquaintances, including relatives. Perhaps among your relatives, friends or relatives there are people working in “your” field. They can help, if not with employment, then at least with advice.

• Graduate job fairs are another option which should not be overlooked. At such a fair, you can directly communicate with representatives of companies who, in a personal meeting, will immediately be able to form a definite opinion about you. Information about job fairs can always be found on the net - the Internet will help you.
• Learn to accept failure calmly. Even a dozen interviews that were wasted is an experience. You learn how to present yourself correctly, to be silent where necessary, and to say only what is expected of you.

• going on , take the trouble to collect information about the company - this will be useful to you during a personal meeting with the management. And remember that they are greeted by clothes. That is, it is not worth coming to an interview in a tracksuit or with shopping bags on the way from the store.
• Offline searches are also promising . Do not be too lazy to go around all nearby institutions where people of your profession are required - not all firms inform about vacancies via the Internet and the media.
• Many universities have a system for placing graduates after training . Ask if you have such a chance. You may not have to look for anything.
• Think about a business card site. It will be easier for the employer to assess the abilities of the applicant if he can personally verify the professionalism of, for example, a photographer, programmer, web designer, artist, etc.

Don't despair if you're not lucky. It can take from a week to 3-4 months to look for a job, but sooner or later, your work will find you .

A persistent person is simply doomed to success!

The love of wisdom is called philosophy.

Cicero

What is philosophy?

Let's take a look at the most popular encyclopedic source - Wikipedia. So, philosophy (φιλία - love, desire, thirst + σοφία - wisdom → other Greek φιλοσοφία (literally: love of wisdom)) is a discipline that studies the most common essential characteristics and fundamental principles of reality (being) and knowledge, human being , relationship between man and the world. Philosophy is usually described as one of the forms of worldview, one of the forms of human activity, a special way of knowing, theory or science. A kind of spiritual activity that forms social consciousness, which comprehensively, in the most general terms (universals), poses and resolves fundamental worldview issues.

What is a philosopher?

And again, let's turn to Wikipedia: “A philosopher (ancient Greek φιλόσοφος - loving wisdom, loving knowledge, inquisitive, striving for truth, seeker of truth) is a person who is engaged in the search for truth, the study of existence. Due to the fact that every person throughout his life is engaged in the search for truth (as the ancients said: every person is a philosopher), philosophers are those people who give priority to this activity.

It turns out that each of us is a philosopher. After all, we all from time to time, and sometimes, most of the time, think about the questions: “Who am I? What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life and is there one? What to choose and which way to go?

And if you make the search for answers to questions a matter of life, you are officially called a philosopher. If you sometimes talk about philosophical topics and about your place in this world, then for those around you, speaking in everyday language, you plunged into the blues.

Consider the first option, you are a philosopher! What is waiting for you?

From childhood, you were thoughtful, read books beyond your years. Or, on the contrary, restless, energetic, light... Now you are a student of the Faculty of Philosophy. And it becomes the object of our increased attention. There is not a philosophical question at all - but where should a graduate with a diploma go, in the column of which the specialty "philosopher" is indicated?

I studied at the Faculty of Sociology and Political Science, where they taught the subject "Philosophy" for 2 years. And it was one of my favorite items. Judge for yourself, where else is everything you said is the truth? Mathematics? Literature? Or maybe a story? No, there are no more such sciences, and this is the uniqueness of philosophy!

And yet, who are philosophers? With this question, I turned to the dean's office of the Faculty of Philosophy. Here's what they told me: "Our graduates find themselves everywhere, in different industries." Agree, the answer is quite in the spirit of the faculty. But it really is. If you are a philosopher, you can pursue a scientific career, or you can go into journalism or open your own business.

This is also confirmed by a small interview with a former philosophy student, who, I hasten to note, is currently working in one large advertising agency.

- Roman, how can graduates of the Faculty of Philosophy work?

- What are the plans for the future of the average student of the Faculty of Philosophy?

- Advertising, journalism, the secretariat, in general, where they will take it. In my opinion, this applies to almost all education now. You finish one thing, and you work where they take you. Well, special lucky ones work wherever they want. So, the Faculty of Philosophy is no exception.

- What are the pros and cons of studying at the Faculty of Philosophy?

- I didn’t like the abundance of superfluous people among the students who accidentally entered there and do not share your reverence for Thucydides, a lot of “upstarts”, people with a rich inner world ... Some people are blown away by Nietzsche and Voltaire ... And the most important minus is in all the departments their approach to teaching, there is no single built-in system that would fit all the knowledge being mastered. This is a serious minus.

Among the advantages, one can note a good atmosphere, almost all teachers are respected, you can express your opinion, different from the teaching one, and the fundamental study of philosophical disciplines is generally good.

Thus, philosophical education is universal in its essence and, above all, makes you a comprehensively developed person, a person whose knowledge becomes the basis for later life. And, nevertheless, any study is a huge work. And at the Faculty of Philosophy, you will have to work very seriously. And, if you are really interested in philosophy, then go ahead and do not be afraid. Sartre said that a person is a blank sheet of paper, and you write yourself and your story!

P.S. So 2 years of philosophy came in handy for me, which once again confirms the value, or rather pricelessness, of this science! Good luck!

Ksenia Tretyakova

I like

Hello! I study at the Faculty of Physics of Electronics and Computer Systems, but I don’t like computers much, and I’m generally at enmity with other technology - I don’t have a hand at all. On the contrary - I like to read, watch, think, in a word, pure humanities. Now I don't know what to do. I study like a techie and do not see myself as a good specialist, but if I switch to the humanities, will I find at least some work to feed myself, my future family.

Just like me, you're not alone, don't worry

If you want to engage in the reproduction of existence, Alexey, then sit where you sit - "feed yourself." And if you want to create, you will have to abandon the reproduction of petty-bourgeois ideals of well-being.

Better designer yy god

You need to be the smartest person - a philosopher, in order not to do anything useful, but society fed and clothed you and admired you. Since I am not a philosopher, my personal definition of a philosopher is a parasite that breeds parasites.

What's the use brother?

I completely agree with you: philosov is a parasite that breeds parasites. Philosophy can be studied independently, since each person has his own approach to understanding what is happening. Well, maybe just courses, free, enthusiastic teachers. But to work as a philosopher and pay for their work from the budget, where our taxes are money down the drain!!!

Galina, if you are not so far away, you should not try to demonstrate your mind. It’s better to take up the Russian language, spelling errors seem to hint) According to your reasoning, it is clear that you have not received / mastered higher education at all. Learn.

Roma, get down on the ground. I know my mistake in the text, who doesn't happen to? As for studying, I will advise you, first of all, to learn to be well-mannered and polite, not to point out the qualities of a person if you are not familiar with him, or that my personal opinion does not coincide with yours. I wrote what I think is necessary. Some may agree, some may not. Everyone's business. Behind me is fur-mat. Mathematicians don't reason, they decide, they prove. So you yourself are narrow-minded, and very ill-mannered. People like you, Roma, were called "upstarts" at school and were not loved. A philosopher smearing snot. Roma - stay at home and listen to what adults say, naive. Please check my syntax and spelling errors. This is your homework. Chao. Sleep well, the state will take care of you.

Galina, you said that it is not necessary to point out the qualities of a person if you are not familiar with him, then why do you call philosophers parasites? Philosophers are the intellectual elite of the country.

Start with Russian)

That's due to the fact that philosophers are parasites, it's in vain, and whoever says so just skipped couples, or did not study at the university at all. Galina, who wrote above, this concerns you first of all, you defend your narrow point of view here so vehemently that it becomes sad for the state if you are a mathematician and do not know that Pythagoras was primarily a Philosopher and, by the way, for the general development of mathematicians, Pythagoras for the first time in history, he called himself a philosopher, it is written about it everywhere, and so this did not stop him from being a scientist and improving the world, for example, the Pythagorean theorem or his unique multiplication table, earlier in the USSR they were still printed on the back of notebooks. All the greatest thinkers who changed our world were philosophers, first of all, if they were not there, we would still be living in the Stone Age. You prove their theorems, use what they invented, the philosophers of the world, and say the parasites themselves, what they did for the world .... In general, if you are not versed in something, it’s better to keep silent, if we met live, I would bring you (to those who think that the philosopher is a parasite) 1001 facts and arguments that you are deeply mistaken, and in the end you would admit it and ask you to forgive you for the above ignorance.

1. Philosophers are ideal salespeople. Good philosophers are in selling ideology.

Additional education will give them the opportunity to become good marketers, PR managers, head hunters, brand managers.

Sociologists, political scientists are paid little. Journalists are not interested due to the lack of desire for truth within the profession.

Political scientists and religious scholars are non-existent specialties.

2. Any particular discipline, including mathematics, physics, and so on, is a special case of philosophy.

The development of specific disciplines occurs only through the rethinking of the discipline itself through the prism of philosophy. It is worth removing philosophy from education and, after a while, fundamental science will go downhill, other countries will pull ahead.

The most important task of the philosopher and his work now lies within the framework of the social reorganization of the world. But, unfortunately, in this segment, it is difficult to break into the people who make decisions. They won't take it from the street. Nevertheless, a politician must have a philosophical education. Otherwise, it will be a madhouse and the laws of an enraged printer.

Most of us study in order to find a good job later. In turn, every self-respecting university is interested in the position of graduates in the labor market and their assessment of the education received. One of the latest studies of the HSE Center for Internal Monitoring is devoted to these issues. In the spring of 2011, 1748 graduates who graduated from the university in different years (2004-2010) were surveyed.

“We study not for school, but for life” - this is the motto of the Higher School of Economics. “HSE is trying, first of all, to provide students with an analytical tool,” the rector explains the principles of education at the Higher School of Economics. - It is impossible to teach the entire array of knowledge in any branch of knowledge, you can teach it to extract. It is completely unknown what our students will earn in five years, technologies in material production, and in computer science, and in social life, and in financial life are changing so quickly that if we teach everyone well-developed tools for making money today, it’s not a fact that they won't lose tomorrow. It seems to me that a graduate of a research university should be able to master any technology on his own, and this distinguishes him, distinguishes him from a standard university.”

That is why HSE focuses on teaching theory and developing personal skills that help students adapt to constantly changing environmental conditions. A survey of graduates shows that for the majority, the knowledge and skills acquired at the university within the framework of the specialty correspond to their employment in the labor market. For example, respondents were asked to assess how their current job corresponds to the specialty they received. The ratings were given on a 7-point scale, where 1 - "does not correspond at all", and 7 - "completely corresponds". The majority of graduates evaluate the compliance of the current work with the received specialty at 5-7 points (55%). It should be noted that among those who completed two stages of education at the Higher School of Economics (bachelor's and master's), there are almost no those who talk about the discrepancy between their current employment and the education they received.

Speaking about the acquired competencies, the majority of the respondents noted that they learned to cope with a large amount of work, independently master new areas of knowledge, clearly and clearly express their thoughts in writing, developed creative abilities and general erudition, learned to work in a group on joint projects , developed the skill of oral presentations, presentations, improved knowledge of foreign languages, expanded the possibilities in using basic computer programs, acquired practical skills for work.

Answering the question about what education at the university contributed to the most, 55% of graduates noted the emergence of their confidence in the possibility of self-realization, 48% indicated that thanks to their studies they received a profession that is in demand on the labor market, 46% formed a circle of like-minded people and relatives according to the spirit of people, 27% have a circle of professional contacts, 20% have acquired the necessary connections for employment.

How do graduates find work?

As a rule, HSE students found their first job on their own or on the recommendation of students and teachers: 30% - through specialized websites, 19% sent resumes directly, 14% came from the companies themselves, 12% were recommended by teachers or HSE employees, 11% got a job through students or HSE graduates. Those who found work through relatives or friends were 23%.

It should be noted that in the event of a subsequent change of job, the percentage of those whom representatives of a particular company contacted on their own is much higher - 30%, which indicates an increase in the demand for HSE graduates in the labor market as experience is gained. And the more time passed after graduating from the university, the smaller the proportion of people who got a job on the recommendation of HSE teachers or staff (4%).

How quickly do HSE graduates find a job?

Only 6% of the surveyed graduates were not working at the time of the survey. Taking into account the fact that graduates of the specialty, bachelor's and master's programs participated in the monitoring, it should be noted that many of the respondents do not work precisely because they continue their studies at the next levels. However, there were those who simply do not need constant income. In figures, their number is most likely close to the statistical error.

The vast majority of respondents (94%) are employed. At the same time, 48% of respondents started working before receiving a diploma, the rest got a job in the first months after graduation.

First job after university

93% of graduates work for hire in various companies and organizations, 3% are engaged in their own business, another 3% become freelancers, that is, they carry out projects for various customers as "free artists".

In recent years, the proportion of employees among graduates has been gradually decreasing. If in 2004-2007 their number was 96-98%, then in 2008 the share decreased to 94%, and in 2009-2010 - to 91%. The turning point was 2008. Until that time, the share of entrepreneurs and freelancers was 1-2% for each category. And among the graduates of 2008-2010, there were already 3-5% of those who started their own business. The number of freelancers over the years has reached 4-6%.

How much do graduates of the Higher School of Economics get paid?

The most interesting here are the starting salaries of 2010 graduates. So, last year's graduates started their careers with a salary of 25,000 rubles after a bachelor's degree to 35,000 rubles after a master's degree. The largest average monthly starting salary for graduates of all levels in 2010 (after taxes) was observed at the Faculty of Business Informatics (38,000 rubles), the smallest - at the Faculty of Sociology (28,000 rubles). It should be noted that the analysis did not include data on faculties where less than 20 respondents indicated their starting salary.

In the future, the salary of former students increases. If we take into account that almost half of the respondents were already working before graduation, then the career start of 2010 graduates took place in the spring-autumn of 2010. The next "measurement" of their salaries falls on the spring of 2011, when monitoring was carried out and when they were asked not only about the starting salary, but also about the current one. So, a year later, the average earnings of 2010 graduates have grown and range from 30,000 to 55,000 rubles. The leader here is the former - the Faculty of Business Informatics with a salary of 55,000 rubles. Graduates of the Faculty of World Politics and World Politics also turned out to be the most highly paid - 45,000 rubles. It is noteworthy that the least paid former students of the department of business and political journalism did not go far from the leaders in terms of wages - 33,000 rubles.

Where do HSE graduates work?

We can say that former HSE students work all over the world. Of course, the vast majority (94%) is employed in the Russian economy. But there are those who work in European countries - Germany, France, Switzerland and others, such 2%. 1% of respondents work in the UK. The share of other countries, such as the USA, China, is less than 0.5%.

The fields of activity of graduates are quite predictable, given the main focus of the university. Most often, monitoring participants noted the following: banks, investments, leasing, finance (11%), IT, Internet, telecom (10%), PR, marketing (9%), trade (9%), education and science (6%) . It should be noted that the humanities faculties - historical, philological - do not yet have graduates. And as soon as they appear, we can expect that the list of areas of activity of HSE graduates will expand.

The distribution of graduates of individual faculties by spheres of employment is quite natural: graduates of the Faculty of Economics, ICEF and World Economy and World Politics predominate in the banking sector. The majority of those employed in the field of information technology are graduates of business informatics, in marketing, graduates of the faculty of sociology and applied political science, as well as the department of business and political journalism, clearly have a preponderance. Trade seems to be a more diffuse area, however, it can be noted that 16% of graduates of the Faculty of Management are employed in it.

How do you evaluate the results of the survey?

First of all, I am very glad that a new monitoring study, important for the School, has been given a successful start, receiving feedback from graduates. We all understand that the success of graduates is an objective indicator of the success of the university. If we evaluate the results, then as a psychologist I am more interested not in integral indicators, but in the specific people who stand behind them. The study not only provided us with interesting data, but also raised new questions. For example, why do some of our graduates not immediately find a job? Agree, if a person cannot get a job for several months after graduation, this can be a serious personal problem for him. Of course, the reasons can be very different. More often than we might think, when talking with graduates, we also come across the following wording: “I wasn’t looking for a job, I wanted to take a break from studying.” If a person can afford to meditate for half a year - this kind of pause can be very productive - it remains only to be happy for him.

But the most typical situation faced by graduates is the unwillingness of employers to hire specialists without work experience. This partly explains the relatively high percentage of our students who combine study with work. On the one hand, they get a comparative advantage over those who just studied after graduation. The reverse side: such a combination is not good for studies, since the leading activity for the student was no longer study, but work. Since the survey was anonymous, we cannot see correlations with its performance. Or is the reason that the graduate failed to show his competence in the interview situation? Agree, the conclusions that follow from this one figure are completely different.

Or take a job in the specialty. It seems to me that it is not necessary to absolutize the importance of this indicator. A person can work in his specialty all his life and hate it fiercely. In my opinion, it is much more important that a person never stops looking for himself and moving towards an ideal occupation for himself. It is good if he immediately found a place to his liking, but in practice this happens quite rarely, given the perfection of the vocational guidance system that does not exist in the country. This is also confirmed by Grigory Kantorovich based on the results of the current admission of documents to the magistracy - an increase in the number of those who change their direction of study after four years. I think that this is good, we should actively use the range of available opportunities. In the meantime, a typical situation is when an applicant (or rather his parents) chooses a university, and not an educational program.

According to expert estimates, in the next ten years, 80% of existing technologies and equipment will become obsolete, by which time 4 out of every 5 employees will have education received more than 10 years ago. What does this mean? Only one thing: there is no alternative to continuing education. Sorry for the truism. That is, learning becomes an obligatory (but not sufficient) condition for success in life. The task of the university is to help graduates quickly fill the identified gap in knowledge or competencies by offering flexible programs of professional "tuning". Therefore, the HSE slogan gets a new sound: With the School for life!

The monitoring showed that graduates are generally satisfied with their education. And how satisfied are employers with their knowledge?

This question is better to ask the director of the HSE Career Development Center, which maintains contacts with a wide range of employers. But, as far as I know, no systematic studies of the opinion of employers about our graduates have yet been conducted. I saw the results of a small study conducted by SFK "Rus" on graduates of sociological faculties, but it was purely pilot in nature. This kind of research is quite complex and time-consuming. Currently, together with the Faculty of Management, we are launching the first study of employers. One of the goals of this study is to obtain international accreditation for the Master's programs in the Faculty of Management. In the fall, we will be able to compare the opinions of graduates about their education at HSE with the opinions of employers about our Masters in Management. It's very interesting what happens! Then we will be able to conduct such surveys on a regular basis. I am sure that the results will be useful to the university, especially the educational unit for correcting educational programs.

The quality of research started directly depends on the collected contact base of graduates and employers. Believe me, this is a very difficult task. It is enough to imagine how difficult it is to find contacts of those who graduated from HSE many years ago. It is very pleasant that the response to the questionnaire turned out to be higher than we expected - almost 50%. In this regard, I would like to appeal to all alumni with a request to help us update their contact information by registering on the site. Stay in touch - we are interested in you! And we hope that the interest is mutual.

The head of the HSE also answered questions about the employment of HSE graduates.

Olga Aleksandrovna, how easy is it for a HSE graduate to find a job?

In general, it's easy. This situation is due to a combination of several factors. First, of course, the prestige of the university and the high level of education that students receive at the HSE. Employers actively demand such graduates in many areas. In particular, among the active partners of the Career Development Center are more than 700 companies and institutions, including representatives of the financial sector, civil service, consulting, FMCG, oil and gas companies, research companies and others. Moreover, employers are trying to attract HSE students through various recruiting and HR-branding events, and companies are also involved in the educational process, starting from the third year. The competitive struggle of leading Russian and foreign companies for potential employees is already unfolding during this period. Students are invited to complete an internship, industrial or undergraduate practice, to go to work on a flexible schedule. For example, during the 2010-2011 academic year, about 100 recruiting and career education events were held at the HSE with the participation of 150 companies, and about 40 new employers were added to the number of active partners. Next year, according to our forecasts, the activity of companies will be even more intense.

Secondly, this is due to the active position of the students themselves. HSE students attend career events (Job Fairs, Career Days, master classes, presentations, trainings for employer companies), seek career and career guidance advice, and follow labor market news in their area of ​​interest.

Thirdly, by combining work and study, students undergo internships with potential employers. According to the annual career monitoring of graduate students, which was conducted by the HSE Career Development Center from 2005 to 2010, it is not uncommon for a graduate to have already held a managerial position or had at least 3 years of work experience (in his specialty!) by the time he received his HSE diploma.

Fourthly, the presence at HSE of special services and departments for students and graduates that assist in personal and career development, close interaction between faculties and representatives of companies, active cooperation between the university and business in various fields.

What difficulties do you face when looking for a job?

It is often difficult for a graduate to decide which field to choose, since the education received opens up a wide range of opportunities for him. Some resort to the advice of specialists, others study the market on their own, others (if they didn’t do it during their studies) advance by trying themselves in various areas of the economy.

Also, employers note somewhat inflated career ambitions and salary expectations of graduates (although the economic crisis has corrected this situation, the self-esteem of young specialists in the labor market has become more adequate), unwillingness to “work with their hands”, to rapid, but still gradual growth and advancement .
