Experience as the main value in the labor market

Being in the creative search for an interesting and lucrative lesson, people often (almost always) understand that in order to get a good high-paying position, you need a certain work experience. And yesterday's students, to live, have to either engage in unskilled labor, or start their professional activities for another 2-3 courses. Let such work be low-paid (or even free), but by the end of the study, the person will already have such a precious work experience.

At some enterprises, cooperation with profile universities is practiced, when department heads attend classes of undergraduates and invite them to their practice or on vacation as trainees. This event is beneficial for the students themselves in terms of experience, and for the employer in the part of "cultivating" valuable personnel on their own.

While engaged in the search for decent work, a person, regardless of his age and experience, compiles a resume. It is this document that often makes a decision about whether such an employee is needed at the enterprise, or better to look for another. At the time of the selection, the applicant is not present, so that the idea of him, his abilities and qualities is compiled exclusively on the summary. Experience in this document should be described in such a way that the potential leader appreciates all the skills and knowledge of a person and wants to see him among his subordinates.

When preparing documents for submission to the management of the human resources (or personnel department) of the future employer, one must understand that the work experience in the resume is the most important section. It will be studied more carefully than the others, and this means that this part requires special attention.

In the chapter "Work Experience", you need not simply list all the organizations in which the applicant had previously worked (naturally, in the reverse chronological order), but completely describe what was the position, which was a major responsibility in each place. Reading the resume, the employer must clearly present what exactly the person did, what was within his competence, what skills he had acquired at each of the previous jobs.

If the applicant has never been employed before, but has been practicing for a long enough time to gain some experience, he must also specify it. After all, a student with good grades in a diploma who has successfully passed the practice is for many a more desirable employee than a loafer who has many years of experience in the required profile.

In a case where a long enough search for a good place with a decent payment has not been successful, it may be worthwhile to consider simpler and lower-paying options, in order to return to this issue after some time. Additional experience in this case will definitely benefit, and there is always the possibility that the diligent and clever, though young officer will notice the authorities.

There are enough examples in history when a person, having become a courier, secretary or assistant to a junior consultant due to lack of experience, quickly took up a serious position (even supervising). The main thing is to believe in yourself and your own success.
