Career in Russia: RUSSIA EXPO guests were told about successful employment
Participants
of the talk show "Career in RUSSIA EXPO" at the RUSSIA EXPO discussed
the specifics of the Russian labour market and formulated recommendations on
career development for students and young professionals.
Valeria
Kasamara, director of the Association of Organizers of Student Olympiads
"I am a Professional", shared her opinion on how not to be afraid of
job interviews.
"In
order to not be afraid of job interviews - you have to give them a try. You should
treat them as a training simulator, through which you improve your skills every
time. It is necessary to prepare for entering the labour market in the same way
as for university exams. Within the framework of the "I am a
Professional" Olympiad we not only teach how to write a resume correctly,
but also how to behave at a job interview: how not to be afraid of it and how
not to get upset if it did not go according to the scenario you originally
planned," said Valeria Kasamara.
Alexander
Zbarsky, a representative of the HR Department of Russian Railways, spoke by
personal example about the continuity of the training process and its
importance for successful work.
"For
the last 10 years, I have been constantly undergoing training at our corporate
university or attending courses. Now the range of interests is shifting to
informal skills - communication, working with people. It is necessary to
understand what is in demand now. For example, I lack in-depth courses in Excel
skills," said Alexander Zbarsky.
Elena
Trdatyan, director of ECOPSY Consulting, also noted the importance of combining
intellectual and physical activity if mental workloads increase.
"All
psychologists and neuropsychologists say that if you start to increase
intellectual load, you should also increase physical load at the same time,
otherwise the organism simply cannot stand it," emphasized Elena Trdatyan.
Vladislav Balandin, a participant of the "I am a Professional" Olympiad, shared his employment experience.
"I got to the internship thanks to the "I am a Professional" Olympiad, which I got acquainted with in the second year of university. According to the results of the final stage, I became a prize-winner. This gave me a great impetus both educationally and career-wise. It resulted in my selection for an internship at the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. The selection consisted of four stages: filling in the questionnaire, testing, online interview and face-to-face interview with the supervisor. Thanks to the cooperation between the Olympiad and the Central Bank, diploma holders have the opportunity to go straight to the online interview stage, bypassing the testing. I took advantage of this opportunity, passed all the necessary stages, completed an additional task and was offered to become a member of the Bank of Russia team," said Vladislav Balandin.
The Foreign Minister
will speak at one of the key events of the Symposium - the panel discussion
"Future of Multipolar World."
The first event to be held at the Russia National Centre, which is being established by the order of President Vladimir Putin, will be the International Science Fiction Symposium and Exhibition "Inventing the Future". The symposium will take place from November 4 to 6.
Tomorrow, the International RUSSIA EXPO will conclude its work. From November 2023 to July 2024, it was visited by more than 18 million guests.
