Diploma without guarantee. How to find a job after graduation for a young specialist with no experience Where to work for university graduates

Most of us study in order to find then Good work. 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 had learned to cope with a large amount of work, independently master new areas of knowledge, express their thoughts clearly and clearly in writing, developed Creative skills 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 the job.

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 education 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".

AT last years the share of employees among graduates is 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: in the banking sector, graduates of the Faculty of Economics, ICEF and World Economy and World Politics predominate. The majority of those employed in the field information technologies- 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.

Commentary by Tatyana Dubova, Director of Partner Relations at the Higher School of Economics(The Directorate for Work with Partners maintains the university's relations with other universities, as well as with HSE alumni. - Note ed.)

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 rather 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 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 professional “tuning” programs. 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 best asked to 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 master's programs 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 participating in 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 apply for a flexible work schedule. So, for example, during 2010-2011 school 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 list 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 .

All this can be overcome and belongs to the category of minuses, easily converted into pluses. Thus, a multifunctional specialist can easily move between areas, mastering new areas, working at the junction of areas, thereby having great innovative potential. Exaggerated ambitions are corrected over time and become “healthy”, turning into an effective “engine” of graduates on the career ladder, they stimulate continuous learning and self-development, which is initially laid down in university students.

Elena Kalinovskaya, HSE Portal News Service

The question "How do graduates get along?" has two aspects: "Where do they settle down?" and “What salary?”. However, after graduating from an educational institution, young people are faced with the reality of the labor market: workers without experience are not needed. And how to get it without getting a job? Often you have to work outside your specialty or start working in senior courses to the detriment of your studies.

Statistics show that the chances of getting a job after graduation increase by a quarter or even by a third if a student starts working before completing their studies. This rule is suitable for cases where the profession according to the diploma is in no way connected with the content of the work. And most of these situations, as well as a large number of modern commercial organizations that do not focus on the profession of a graduate and are ready to get it with any diploma. This applies mainly to those jobs or positions that do not require special knowledge (financial, legal, computer, etc.), where only general education, outlook, the ability to communicate and think are needed. In other words, this refers to the so-called mass vacancies. And only 10-15% of vacancies require special knowledge. On the other hand, almost 80% of graduates are not going to work in their specialty.

There is another class of organizations where added value is created by specialists with specialized diplomas, and where they are the main production force. For example, companies such as IBS, Yandex, Google, Microsoft, 1C, which create programs and computer solutions, hire mathematicians, engineers, technologists, programmers, etc. And organizations like Ernst & Young, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, McKinsey require specialists with financial education, but often they need marketers and even physicists or mathematicians to work as analysts.

One way or another, but the statistics show that in the summer it is more possible to find a job with a graduate or university student than in the fall, and there is a reason for this, since it is commonly believed that many companies in Russia freeze in the summer months, reduce their activity, and therefore and the tasks of filling vacancies are attributed to the fall. But it is in the summer that a graduate has a real chance of getting a job. Why?

Firstly, during the holiday season, offices are empty, and work needs to be done, so vacancies open up. They may be temporary, but you and I know that nothing is more permanent than temporary. It is not uncommon for a successful temporary worker to remain with the organization.

Secondly, new students are accepted into low-paid positions, and this gives a competitive advantage over specialists with diplomas.

Thirdly, by offering themselves in June-July, a student or graduate is ahead of competitors, because most young professionals prefer to take a break in the summer and start looking for a job in the fall.

Traditionally popular in the country is the trinity of professions: economist, lawyer and programmer, they remain in steady demand, despite the saturation of the labor market with them. There is a demand for biologists, biotechnologists, chemists, mathematicians, graduates prestigious universities- Moscow State University, Phystech, MEPhI, Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Moscow State University. Graduates are invited to banks, as well as to law enforcement agencies - the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, FAPSI, the FSB, etc.

Livestock specialists, veterinarians, agronomists are very welcome in the regions of Russia. Meat production, greenhouses, fur farms and fish farms are developing there. Despite low, by Moscow standards, salaries, graduates make good money according to local standards. In addition, they can get a lift as well as accommodation.

The least demand for historians, geographers, culturologists. They are in demand in art galleries, museums, in specialized publications. It is known that the salaries in them are very low, and they work here, as they say, because of the love of art: true lovers of culture.

Of course, Gazprom is considered the best employer. Graduates of Moscow State Law Academy, Moscow State Technical University, Russian Economic University (“Pleshka”) most often get there.

This is followed by "computer" and IT companies: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Yandex. There, even economists from prestigious universities, such as the NES, the Financial Academy, the Higher School of Economics, are not in demand as programmers, mathematicians or engineers from MEPhI, MIPT, Moscow State University, MSTU.

Consulting and service companies Ernst & Young, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, McKinsey, KPMG often attract graduates from financial universities, as well as from faculties where foreign languages ​​are taught.

For more information about which university graduates are in demand on the labor market and what salaries they are paid, see the table proposed by the Kommersant publishing house (see Appendix).

What conclusions can be drawn from this? To get a “dream job”, you need to choose a “dream university” and start working in a “dream company” while still studying. If a student is one of the eighty percent of those who are not looking for a job in their specialty, then things are easier for him, although here you need to try: do not neglect the job search in the summer immediately after graduation. If you set a goal to work in an international company, then you need to attach yourself to studying foreign languages ​​or choose the appropriate university.

In short, you need to start planning your career today: in order to get the right job, you need to get the right education This means that you need to prepare for admission to the desired university. Do you know what USE scores are needed for this?

Finding your calling is an integral part of life. With the existing variety of professions, each of us faces the problem of choice. After all, I want all the “puzzles” to come together - and the work was to my liking, and there were certain abilities for it, and that it would bring real income.

Today, the labor market shows that the most demanded is the profession of a manager. The relevance of this kind of activity lies in its versatility. Graduates of the specialty "Management" receive a set of fundamental knowledge, skills and practical skills in different areas, in particular in economics, marketing, advertising, etc. Moreover, any campaign focused on active business development needs an intelligent manager. The moral follows from this: there will always be a demand for effective managers.

Despite the fact that all professions are needed, all professions are important, today we will talk about the specialty "Management". What to work as a manager? You will find the answer on this page!

Often, the job responsibilities of a tourism manager are set in accordance with the direction of activity and specialization: someone is responsible for booking tickets, someone works with clients, someone issues a visa, etc. Although there are generalists who can organize a trip for a client from A to Z.

The manager of a restaurant or hotel is responsible for the coherence and quality of the work of the entire team.

This year, about 500,000 state employees graduated from universities. Not all graduates had work experience by the time they graduated from the university. Where is it easiest to get a job if, apart from educational practice behind shoulders is not a day of work experience?

In the first year after graduation, 75 percent of graduates find work. According to the Superjob portal, the easiest way to get a job is for graduates without experience in the banking sector, IT companies and large businesses. 60 percent of employers are ready to hire a newcomer with a diploma (before the crisis, there were 72 percent of such employers).

What is offered to specialists with a diploma, but without work experience? The breakdown is as follows: 13 percent of employers are in sales, purchasing or customer service positions, 11 percent are engineering specialties, and 10 percent are blue-collar jobs. Approximately the same number are ready to hire a university graduate to work as an administrator or office manager.

But programmers, oddly enough, are waiting for only 4 percent of employers. In addition, secretaries, dispatchers, salesmen and accountants, and lawyers are still needed. If last year 50 percent of employers said they were satisfied with the quality of training of young specialists, this year only 47 percent of them. Here are the main claims: "average theoretical training", "high level of ambition", "overwhelming self-conceit". The easiest way to find a job is for those graduates who, as a student, underwent an internship. One way or another, about 80 percent of employers are considering options for working with an intern. And only 22 percent rarely invite interns to work or do it very selectively.

Five years ago, only 17 percent of graduates of pedagogical universities were looking for a job in the field of education, now there are one and a half times more of them. Much less often would-be teachers now want to go to administrative work, personnel departments, marketing and advertising.

Main claims to graduates: average theoretical background, high ambitions

Teachers would like to receive from 40 thousand rubles a month (Moscow). In fact, in Moscow schools you can earn much more. School websites show the average salaries of teachers (excluding administration income), in some - 73,000, 79,000, 78,000, 77,000 rubles ... In Novosibirsk, graduates of teacher training universities expect 23-25 ​​thousand rubles, in Saratov - 15 thousand. By the way, one of the Saratov Internet portals asked its readers to anonymously answer the question about income. Here's what happened: the author of student papers can earn up to 45 thousand rubles a month, a professor at a university - 37 thousand.

But most of all now lucky graduates of agricultural universities. In the last five years, the demand for them has been constantly growing.

We need agronomists, livestock specialists, veterinarians, technologists in the processing industry, - said Olga Loretts, Vice-Rector of the Ural State Agrarian University. - Employers are ready to hire both experienced specialists and graduates without work experience. Large enterprises offer good salaries - 25-30 thousand rubles a month. Many of our graduates open farms themselves.

There is a demand for economists and accountants who know not only macroeconomics, but also everything about milk yields and yields. Unfortunately, in recent times economic faculties in many industry universities were closed as non-core ones. Recently, the university monitored employment, and it turned out that 90 percent of graduates who did not go to the village immediately after graduation, nevertheless return two years later and work in their specialty.

There is a great need for doctors today. But not all. Most of the vacancies in the labor market are for dentists, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, gynecologists. In the first place among graduates of medical universities - pharmacists. Unfortunately, they are not invited by pharmaceutical companies, but by pharmacy chains and supermarkets that open drug kiosks in trading floors.
