Career Tips for Graduates and Their Parents

Learning is the beginning of a career

Not one, even the most prestigious faculty or university, is the guarantor of your success. Knowledge is important in the work, and those that you can immediately put into practice. Better think about what useful skills you have gained during your training and how to apply them in your future work.

The biggest problem of young professionals is the lack of work experience. They do not take to work because there is no experience, and there is no experience because they do not take to work. Vicious circle. To gain experience, it is very useful to start earning money while studying. Thus, you can get the necessary experience and after graduation immediately apply for serious work in the specialty. In addition, employers like it when young people earn extra money while studying. This indicates their activity and hard work.
Learn how to use your dating

Make and use existing useful contacts, both in social networks and in real life. That's why they are dating. Ask all your acquaintances and acquaintances - if they have interesting vacancies. Go to events, do not hesitate to contact those who seem interesting to you. You have to overcome a little your shyness and awkwardness, if it is inherent in you, but it's worth it.
In the first work, only one thing is important - the right vector of development

And not a salary or position title. Look at growth opportunities and “interestingness”. Choose a company and a department in it, where it will not be necessary to sort through pieces of paper for years, and where they will let you do something, they will show you a real profession. And you will understand whether this is your business or not.
When looking for work, pay attention to:

    company reputation;
    the willingness of the employer to develop employees;
    The attitude of your immediate supervisor;
    career opportunities;
    microclimate in the team;
    legality of employment;
    the scale of the projects that will have to work.

The rest is from the evil one.
Get ready for different scenarios

A professional career start may be completely different from a movie: two years - and a successful business from scratch. And all young and talented should remember this. Sergey Marchenko, development director of Work.ua, confirms the above:

“Why are the young so narcotic at work? In fact, one of the reasons for their nervousness is stress due to unrealized high expectations. The British conducted a study according to which 43% of university graduates are sure of a salary increase or career growth during the first six months of work. At the same time, in reality, only 17% receive such an increase. ”
And to frequent job changes

If at 40 years old, changing work every six months is not very natural, then at 22 it’s normal to sort out professions and even branches. You can spend the whole summer looking for work and endless interviews for one position, and then suddenly find yourself in a completely different position in a previously unfamiliar company. And in doing so, you will be truly happy. Cast aside fear and forward to a happy future!
Do not continue the dynasty involuntarily

If your family has 4 generations of lawyers, you graduated from the law faculty at the insistence of your parents, but you hate this profession - change the course before it's too late. The story of being horny-falling in love doesn't work in recruiting the past 10 years.
Stop constantly comparing yourself to others

The familiar pain of the era of social networks. Your friends can regularly post photos and notes about how they have a great time, chatting with celebrities, making big bucks, going to parties, and so on. Rejoice for them! And then forget about it and think about what you would like to do to the envy of others. And do it.


The main advice to the generation of twenty that Work.ua seeks to convey is: do not think that a career will fall on your head just because you are young and have graduated from a prestigious university, do not rely on ephemeral dreams and success stories. But work, ingenuity and a strategic approach to professional activity will certainly help to achieve success. What we sincerely wish you.
