Job Placement Problems of Graduates in World Economy (Vladimir Rudenkov)

Раздел "Международные экономические отношения"The times when all university graduates were guaranteed a job placement are long gone. Now it is up to the graduates themselves to find a job. But whereas some of them get attractive jobs at once, for others job-seeking becomes a permanent activity. Naturally, works experience plays a key role here, which in something these seekers do not have, since very few graduates can impress the potential employer by their job record. So education comes next and it is here that the graduates of the International Relations Faculty of Belarusian State University have an advantage because their diploma is recognized and appreciated not only in Belarus but abroad as well. It offers the opportunities to get a job in the country or continue education at some foreign university. But other things being equal, it is the person who combines both an excellent diploma and job experience and who has developed an efficient job search strategy, who will get a suitable job more quickly and efficiently. Naturally, this strategy will differ depending on the age, experience, education and profession of the applicant. Primarily, job search should be a full-time job and treated as such. It should include persistent phone contacts in reply to advertisements, buying newspapers in the morning for information about vacancies, keeping a business schedule diary with a record of the phone calls made. Jobs should be sought everywhere, the unneeded ones discarded later. Rejections should never be treated as a lifetime crisis or a personal insult. They do not mean you are useless. Efforts should continue even after you have failed several times. If there is a will to succeed, success will come. You should take care of yourself and not wait for somebody to do so
