Advice to students: start now to plan your life after graduation

At the end of each academic year, another generation of graduates from universities and colleges face the problem of employment. Only a small percentage of bachelors "with crusts" are not lost and purposefully submit a resume to one or another organization, chosen in advance. To be among this "small percentage" of people, boldly looking into tomorrow, you need to start taking care of your future in the first year. This does not mean that from the first of September you need to sit down at the computer and convulsively send your contacts to all known organizations, but do not just attend classes and wait for such a distant last course. The earlier you start to consider the period of training as preparation for an "adult" life, and not as a rest from it, the better for you.

Where do I start? What exactly is worth doing? You will find answers to these questions in this article.

Collection of information

Often students who have not graduated from an educational institution have a so-called inferiority complex. They believe that no one needs a "crust". However, it is not. Representatives of large, growing companies are always interested in motivated, seriously minded staff. Try to find a community of your organization on the network. Study this organization, try contacting the administrators. Ask for a personal meeting. On it, explain who you are and what goals pursue. Perhaps, you will be offered to work on a voluntary basis, perhaps, recommend first to gain the necessary skills. In any case, it will be a useful experience, you will be noticed. Who knows, maybe this is the beginning of your career.

Science Above All

Participate in research activities. In each university offer to perform some form of research, do not abandon them and do not perform them "for a tick". First, this type of work expands the professional horizon, thinking, and secondly, research, science is another promising direction in which you can develop.

Who is forewarned is armed

Watch TV. Yes, yes, you did not seem. A young specialist who is looking for his place in life simply needs to be aware of everything that happens in the country and the world. News can be viewed on the Internet, of course, but it is better to use the maximum of information channels. Be sure to monitor the opening of new businesses related to your profession. Even if this information is not directly related to your residence permit, do not leave it unattended. Who knows where life will take you?

For business!

Try to use time wisely. In the summer you not only can pass an internship in a company you like, but also start your own business, for example, create a website, a community in a social network, a blog and make money on advertising. Of course, this is not so simple, but it's worth a try.

No spam

Start to follow your pages in social. Networks. So, imagine that you contacted the employer on the network, and he drew attention to you. From professional (and not only) curiosity, he comes to your page and sees posts with obscene expressions, stupid pictures and photographs. The effect of a business, independent student is spoiled. Forever.

Small spool but precious

Take a closer look at small companies. Being a Microsoft or Googl employee is great, but not always realistic and necessary. In a large firm, you will always (or for a long time) be a small pawn, a boy or a girl "in errands", you will not soon be given the responsibility. It is difficult both in terms of material (small salary), and in the moral. To feel the constant gaze of the "boss" constantly on himself and not to see the fruits of his labor will sooner or later get bored. In a small company, you will feel like a significant link, without which the mechanism will break. In any activity, this is important.

Practice and practice again

Be sure to try yourself in the business. It can be practice or self-employment for a summer period. However sad it may sound, after the first working day students are often disappointed in the chosen profession. If something like this happens to you, do not be confused and change the course. It is not necessary to leave a university (an extra diploma will never hurt), but it is necessary to think about re-qualification. Now, there are many opportunities for this: from obtaining a second education to a master's degree in another or related direction. Remember, at work you will spend most of your life, so it should bring you pleasure.

Initially development

Develop applied skills. In any profession it is important to be able to communicate, so the communicative skill must be developed. Also, the mandatory skills include "blind" printing on the computer, fluency in the Internet and various social services. Networks, competent speech. Work on these skills and develop your horizons.

Prioritize

In student's years, one can not focus on one thing. We need to find time for recreation, entertainment, changing the situation. But it's worth making sure that you do not spend too much time on this. People always prioritize. Either solid rest, discos and parties, or a serious approach to your own life and your own future. Remember, your efforts will always bear fruit.

These are the basic tips that will help you prepare for an "adult" life, decide on the future profession and get the position you are dreaming about.
