Which professions are the most competitive? Vocation

Analysts of the career portal rabota.ua conducted a study on the number of responses to the most popular headings over the past 5 years. The number of responses is the average number of resumes or resume letters that an employer receives for a posted job. We can say that this is the number of competitors in the struggle for the desired position.

Lawyers: personnel search

The highest competition is for the position of a lawyer. The prestige of this work among the parents of applicants, as well as expectations from it as a highly paid and prestigious specialty, played a role. Yes, and the market higher education"hurried", releasing lawyers literally in batches. Specialties "jurisprudence" in different types was not only in the "lazy" universities. But the quality of education of such specialists left much to be desired. Perhaps that is why, even in stable years, many young lawyers could not find work in their specialty.

And now the number of young lawyers out of work has become even greater. The company is made up of experienced specialists, reduced from those businesses where legal work there were fewer contracts with contractors and clients, litigation, etc. In addition, many employers hire lawyers on a part-time or "piece-rate" basis, or even give them away. legal support outsourcing companies. Here main reason the fact that over the past 5 years, lawyers have topped the ranking of the most competitive vacancies.

Tops: pushed back by business owners

In addition to lawyers, the top three leading areas with the most competition include top managers. It is clear that there have always been significantly more applicants for leadership positions, or rather, those wishing to take the places of chiefs, than the positions themselves.

In the case of the top teams, 2014 and 2013 were marked both by a reduction in the number of top teams of some companies in the struggle for budget cuts for salaries, and by the trend of the return of the owners of some businesses to operational management. This led to an increase in the number of dismissed managers and increased competition.

Administrative staff: desire for an easy start

Another area with the biggest competition is administrative staff. As a rule, the work of a secretary is the first position in the career of many respectable business women. There is an opportunity to see the business from the inside, sometimes using foreign language, integrate into the company and continue a career in it.

This is the kind of career start that doesn't require the sales skills that many simply shy away from. And just universal work - administrative staff is needed in every company. Perhaps for this reason, last year the number of applications for a vacancy in the field of administrative personnel was a record - for all 5 years of the study.

Accountants and HR: "drying" business processes

Economists-accountants and HRs have become victims of their own universality - they occupy 4-5 lines in the rating. Competition in these segments has intensified in recent years due to the "drying" of the company's business processes, and, accordingly, the release of a certain proportion of specialists.

IT people: fashion and salaries in foreign currency

An interesting trend is the increase in the number of responses to IT vacancies. Since 2012, it has grown by 2.5 times. The same positive dynamics is observed in working specialties. But if people go to working specialties more based on temporary part-time jobs, then the increase in activity in IT is associated with the desire of applicants to receive wages linked to the course foreign exchange and acquire all the charms of being a programmer.

The average number of responses to vacancies posted on the rabota.ua portal in dynamics over 5 years

Tourism, marketing: relative stability

Relatively stable is the number of responses to vacancies in the field of tourism and travel. Nevertheless, it is still difficult for employers to find an experienced specialist from 16-20 responses. More or less everything is stable in the field of marketing - the "classic" marketing is being replaced by Internet marketing, which allows you to be more effective at lower costs. The number of responses in the field of production is also stable, as well as in construction-architecture. Last year was critical, judging by the surge in the number of responses, but this year the situation intends to stabilize.

Market outsiders: no applicants

Real estate vacancies are stable market outsiders. Even in the crisis year of 2014, the number of responses did not exceed 10. The fact that such low competition in this area is explained not only by not the best situation, but also by the unwillingness of applicants to apply for these vacancies: to earn money in the same real estate in this moment- it will not work, and those salaries that are indicated in the description of vacancies are a possible amount based on sales results, but not a guaranteed rate. Things are a little better in the auto business, pharmaceuticals and blue-collar jobs.

Summing up the presented analysis, we can conclude that last year became a serious test for the labor market. The competition is highest in the "office segment" - companies began to cut staff, which they could afford in a more optimistic business situation. Competition is intensifying in the segment of banking vacancies and IT specialties. As usual, easier job find active specialists in the field of trade and sales.

Once upon a time, the younger generation was taught: "All works are good - choose according to your taste." Many people have not got rid of the idea of ​​equality of employment until now. Often the best professions are determined on the basis of a direct survey of the population, although the labor market has long been the subject of special studies. For example, the American magazine U.S. News & World Report's regularly compiles lists of the best professions, focusing on an integral indicator that includes the prospects of the profession (projected demand for it), the feeling of satisfaction that it brings, the ease/difficulty of mastering, prestige and, of course, the income received. . Many would like to become a movie star or an astronaut, but these are hardly professions that the average person can realistically master. The choice comes from mass, public occupations, the owners of which have reason to be satisfied with the chosen career.

Let's start with the 2009 U.S. News & World Report's list of jobs in the near future. Of course, it differs from the one that can be compiled for Russia. But most of the positions no longer look exotic; economically, the world is becoming more and more united. We think that the prospects of this labor market will be of interest to our readers.

ENGINEER

In a high-tech society, engineers are increasingly in demand. With an average income of an American engineer of $80,300 a year, the prospects for the profession look good. Only India and China need to be feared, where thousands of qualified engineers are willing to work for a fraction of what their counterparts in developed countries receive. But if Asian talent intensifies competition in the private sector, the public sector remains stable. (But in Russia, as a result of the collapse of the system of special and higher technical education, the shortage of engineers has to be replenished by inviting specialists from other countries).

A promising direction is energy efficiency. The main areas are building materials, heating systems, transport. In the US, the transition from gasoline to hydrogen is expected to create 675,000 jobs over the next 25 years. Hyundai has already announced the launch of a hydrogen-powered vehicle in 2012.

GENETIC CONSULTANT

Usually, future parents book a genetic consultation to make sure that the birth of a child is not associated with unforeseen risks. However, genetics consultants deal with the full range of problems associated with the likelihood of developing a hereditary disease. Both doctors and holders of biology faculty diplomas come to this profession. Their work is free from the responsibility that the attending physician has to take on. The final decision on family planning is made by future parents, the consultant's task is to convey to clients medical information that is not always clear to them and help them choose the right strategy. 90 percent of genetic consultants in the US are satisfied with their work. In America, the right to it gives a master's degree in one of the accredited programs and passing an exam in the American Society for Genetic Counseling (American Board of Genetic Counseling). The average salary is $67,000 per year.

PRIEST

In the US, members of this profession always find work and do not complain about the lack of respect for their work. In Russia, the path of a priest seems even more promising, because the state supports the course towards the revival of spirituality.

There will always be critical moments in our lives - the birth of a child, marriage, personal crises, and finally death ... Millions of people in such situations need the support of a priest. Strictly speaking, this is not a job - this is life. The help of a clergyman may be needed by people at any time of the day or night, and his duty is to give them this time without a trace. It is believed that a successful priest is an inspired speaker, but in fact it is much more important to be an inspired person who encourages people to discover the best sides their nature. The “earthly” side of church service, living conditions differ depending on the confession, place of service, etc. If you are seriously thinking about such a vocation, it is better to ask the advice of a priest who inspires confidence in you. It seems that the priests are the least likely to change the once chosen path.

MEDICAL TECHNICIAN

Demand for US hospital electronics technicians will not be satisfied soon. The technician not only repairs these devices: he installs them, adjusts them, and teaches them how to use the new medical equipment. He is in charge of various equipment: from defibrillators and laser scalpels to tomographs. You need to understand both the hardware and software product.

The advantages of the profession are rapid development (training usually takes two years) and a labor market that does not know recessions. People will always be treated, and it is unlikely that such a specialist will ever hear the word “reduction”. The downside is that it's a stressful job. You can be called to the hospital at any time. And you can leave only when the threat to the patient's life has passed. And if the “artificial lungs” fail during the operation, you will have to fix the problem. And fast. On average, a technician with 8 years of experience in an American hospital receives $49,000 per year. Specialists hired by the equipment manufacturer earn noticeably more - up to $90,000. If you transfer this work to Russian realities, the difference can be significant - something like between a district hospital and the interiors in which Dr. House and his retinue make their diagnoses. And yet nothing will stop progress, the need for such specialists will be more and more acutely felt in our country.

TEACHER-METHODIST

This specialty will always be in demand in America. No politician running for elected office would dare demand cuts in school spending. In absolute terms and as a percentage of GDP, the United States now spends more on the school system than any other G8 country. And yet, American students show very average results compared to their peers from other countries, so the question of the effectiveness of school education is acute.

The duties of the methodologist include reviewing textbooks, developing programs, conducting classes with teachers. He does not experience stress and pressure, familiar to school teachers. The annual income is not so great (on average $55,000), but it is considered very stable. In Russia, methodologists-instructors in information technology.

FUNDRAISING SPECIALIST

One of the farthest Russian realities profession - a specialist in fundraising, raising money for charitable purposes. In our country, activities of this kind are still very limited by a wary attitude towards any "reception of money from the population." But the situation is changing rapidly, quite a lot of fundraisers are already successfully operating through the Internet. Even with a weak economy (or because of it?), employment experts in the US agree that fundraisers will be hired more and more.

LITTOWORKER/SPEACHWRITER

The demand for people who can competently, beautifully and logically formulate other people's thoughts - in the range from a speech at a birthday party to a book - is growing. Of course, this activity does not bring moral satisfaction, especially to people with talent and ambitions. But it gives a rich experience based on meetings with the most different people. It also brings in money. In the USA, an experienced “invisible author” (ghostwriter) earns $55,000 a year.

AUDIOLOGIST

Deals with hearing disorders - diagnosis, treatment and correction (selection of hearing aids and their adjustment). One of medical specialties caused by an increase in life expectancy. In the US, growing demand for it is being driven by the aging baby boomer generation. By the way, the most famous American with a hearing aid is Bill Clinton.

Russian companies they are looking for people with higher education (“preferably medical, psychological or pedagogical”) for the position of audiologists. At the same time, part of the salary is a percentage of sales of hearing aids. In the USA, they emphasize that the best prospects open up for holders of the Au.D degree. (Doctor of Audiology), the path to which takes a long 8 years. It seems that in our country this is a profession at the intersection of medicine and sales, while for Americans an audiologist is a real doctor. And if the average American audiologist earns $62,000 a year, then the holder of a doctoral degree can count on an income of $85,000 and more.

FIREFIGHTER

In the United States, the popularity of firefighters rose after September 11, 2001. In terms of prestige, their work is now inferior only to the work of a scientist and a doctor, but does not require higher education: firefighters are trained in just two years. And in Russia, this profession is of some interest - firefighters have high salaries by Russian standards, plus benefits. However, conditions labor easy and can't be called safe. No wonder doctors point out that the percentage of cardiovascular diseases among representatives of this profession is above average. However, the degree of satisfaction with their work among firefighters is very high - only priests are higher (data from surveys by the National Opinion Research Center).

STATE EMPLOYEE

Private company can burn out and fly out of business, the state - never. As a last resort, it will raise taxes or print more money. A path for those who appreciate reliability, constancy and bonuses like paid ballots, vacations "under the Labor Code", etc. And although there are fewer and fewer people who want to devote their whole lives to a public career, this work is a good school and a launching pad for a career in business. A typical American official (career experience of 8 years) earns $58,000 a year. How much does ours have? Any figure will cause controversy, so let's not even try to calculate.

STYLIST / COSMETOLOGIST

Studies have repeatedly brought the profession of stylist / beautician to the first place in terms of the sense of satisfaction that work brings. A stylist/beautician feels like a creator several times a day. And he constantly feels his “advancement” in fashion matters. The advantages also include the widest circle of acquaintances. Alas, the stylist spends most of the day on his feet ( Occupational Illness- varicose veins), and you can count on a decent income only after the circle regular customers. According to official figures, the annual salary of a stylist in the United States is less than the national average - $ 33,000 (excluding tips and the fact that, having gained experience and acquired a clientele, a stylist often begins to work for himself). For this reason, it is difficult to estimate the income of many homeworkers in Russia. Only one thing is known for sure: a doctor, an undertaker and a hairdresser will never be left without work.

HEALTH EXPERT

The high demand for this profession is associated with health care reform in the United States. So far, society and the government have more questions than answers. Should all insured people get the same coverage, or can those who pay more opt for more expensive treatments? If 47 million Americans get health insurance for the first time in their lives, won't that create months-long waiting lists for doctors' surgeries? Health experts are looking for answers to such questions. Their services are needed by the state, non-profit organizations, the medical industry, insurance companies. The work of experts is paid very highly: from $59,000 to $125,000. In Russia, labor protection and protection of the reproductive health of citizens are considered promising areas. The demand for child health professionals will grow.

UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATOR

All over the world, university teaching rates are being cut, made part-time or temporary, and "teachers" are being stripped of their former benefits. But administrative positions in universities remain inviolable, and the average salary of an administrator in an American college is confidently kept at around $61,000 per year.

It is believed that competition in this area is less fierce than in the academic environment. There are high hopes for administrators. The need to survive makes educational institutions look for more efficient control schemes. Russia has yet to build new system university management. And it is not always possible to predict what challenges you will face. In particular, programs for teachers and administrators began to open in Russia high school on conflict management in a multi-ethnic student environment.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT

He not only breaks flower beds and designs alpine slides on the estates of the rich, as is commonly believed. In fact, a landscape architect can participate in the transformation of a former industrial zone into a harmonious urban environment. It is indispensable for the improvement of streets and roads, the restoration of historical landscapes and protected areas. It is also in demand in ecological construction, for example, in the creation of now fashionable "green roofs", which are planted with plants.

As we wrote quite recently (see "LB", September 2009, "Key to start"), no economic crisis unable to change the deep settings of modern consciousness. One of basic values our civilization - ecology, so landscape architecture will be in demand. In the US, an experienced specialist earns an average of $62,000 per year. In Russia, the demand for ordinary landscape design is growing rapidly.

LIBRARIAN

A modern librarian is a specialist in the "query language" armed with computer knowledge, a navigator in the ocean of information and a skilled cataloguer. Moreover, in the USA, a variety of organizations are now acquiring their own libraries (often special ones) and needing librarians (no less special ones): colleges, law firms, hospitals, legislatures, large companies, non-profit organizations and so on. New jobs are created there, while in the usual public and school libraries, new vacancies rarely open. The average annual salary of a librarian in the US reaches $47,000. In Russia, work with catalogs and databases has not yet developed into a separate service.

SECURITY SYSTEM SPECIALIST

Alas, the demand for this profession suggests that the world is not becoming calmer. Installation and maintenance of security systems are becoming more complicated. A professional should understand video surveillance and access control systems, alarm systems, modern locks and communication devices. There are no educational institutions in this area, specialists are trained in the course of work in a few months. It is clear that success awaits a person with "smart hands". In the US, the average salary of specialists in this field is $43,600.

BUSINESS CONSULTANT

He appears when no one is looking for him, begins to answer a question that he was not asked, and waits for a payment for an answer that is already known without him. There is some truth in this joke: like it or not, business consulting is in demand. And it depends on the professionalism of the consultant whether they will tell jokes about him or, on the contrary, will remember him with gratitude. One of the features of a career is a rapid rise. A recent university graduate advises corporate bosses, and they listen to him. It seems almost miraculous if you don't know what consulting companies they select employees practically according to the only criterion - the gift to be convincing. And the young talent will be provided with all the necessary information by well-informed workers whom the customers do not see. Salaries in business consulting are very high: they start with six figures, and by the age of 40 they reach their maximum values ​​... To be more precise, the average salary of a specialist with 8 years of work experience is $138,000.

MEDIATOR

This is a mediator, a dispute resolution specialist who knows how to manage the conflict and at the same time respect the interests of both parties. Mediation is an interdisciplinary business science that requires knowledge of economics, law, psychology and information theory. The mediator does not decide who is right and who is wrong - he negotiates, stops the aggression of the participants, identifies on the basis of what a compromise can be formed, and upon reaching an agreement controls the acceptance of obligations by the parties. In an economic downturn, a mediator is hired as a cheap alternative to lawyers. In the United States, he is often invited by couples starting divorce proceedings. The average annual income is $59,700.

PROFESSIONS RELATED TO MEDICINE

Their demand is growing due to the aging of society against the backdrop of increased living standards. Of course, there will always be a doctor at the center of the health industry, but in the US, getting an M.D. is very difficult and very expensive. There are diplomas that are obtained at a lower cost. Steady demand is predicted for highly qualified nurses (average annual salary - $60,200), occupational therapists ($63,800), physiotherapists ($70,200), paramedics ($86,200).

Let's also mention optometrists (diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, selection of glasses and contact lenses) and pharmacists. The average annual income in these two professions is the same - $103,000.

ELECTION OFFICIALS

It is believed that American officials, their work brings considerable moral satisfaction. What about the material? Its size varies considerably - from $0 (member of the municipal council) to $400,000 (US President). Due to the well-known Russian specifics, we will not even talk about how much richer opportunities such a career provides in our country.

URBAN PLANNER

The development of urban areas requires specialists working at the intersection of architecture, construction, economics, sociology and regional politics. The planner sees the future of the area or city. The scale of work is no less than a microdistrict. Promising varieties of this work are planning traffic flows and planning for corporations. In the US, the average salary for a planner is $62,500.

SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST

The position of a psychologist-educator appeared in Russian schools about 10 years ago, and now it has become commonplace. Some schools have several specialists. Their responsibilities include psychological diagnostics, remedial classes, counseling parents and teachers. The problems faced by a child psychologist are common to schools around the world: from autism and aggression to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The need for psychologists will grow. In the US, their work is well paid: $60,700 a year.

And don't forget the holidays!

SYSTEMS ANALYST

Optimizing and automating a company's business processes by improving the architecture of computer networks remains an attractive and well-paid occupation. Plus - the rapid growth of qualifications, minus - frequent trips, because such a specialist is needed by the company only for the time of the planned modernization. Educational establishments Russia is already training specialists in this field. In the US, the average annual salary for a senior analyst is $83,900.

USABILITY SPECIALIST

Busy with the ergonomics of the devices used. Most often it finds application in the development of electronics, communications, user interfaces. Responsibilities include interviewing potential users, identifying their needs and making recommendations to developers. Looking from the side is an enviable job. Who else gets paid to play with new gadgets all day or to figure out what the perfect sneaker should be? People come to this profession from different fields - from psychology and design to computer science. In the US, an experienced usability professional earns $96,200 a year.

VET

Veterinary incomes are on the rise. To clarify: the income of veterinarians treating small animals. In difficult times, people need to experience peace of mind - and for many, the devoted look of a pet provides it. Getting a diploma and a license takes years of hard work, but there is no shortage of people who want to become veterinarians. Is it because they experience less stress than "human" doctors? An interesting detail: in the US, 80% of future veterinarians are girls (the average salary in the industry is $79,800 per year).

INSTEAD OF CONCLUSION

Even a cursory glance at this list shows that more than half of it consists of professions associated with ideas about a decent standard of living. No matter how the economic situation changes, modern man seeks to look good, wants his children to be taught by competent specialists, and in his old age professional care is provided for him. The second big group of the best professions are the specialties caused by technological innovations - from security systems to business schemes. It is obvious that every year technological growth will strengthen the division of labor and cause the emergence of new engineering and management specialties.

10 MOST PROMISING FIELDS OF ACTIVITY, or Who is good to be in Rus'?

Today, the work of virtually any company is impossible without IT specialists. And computer scientists will still be held in high esteem by us - at least in the next decade. Although in developed countries their functions are transferred to more "cheap" China and India. In Europe and the USA, for example, it is unlikely that anyone will consider a promising career as a programmer. “But in Russia they still have somewhere to turn around: we have a big country, we need to get to every village,” says Svetlana Getmanova.

5. MANAGEMENT

Specialist in the field social management and mass communications, business coach Oksana Silantyeva believes that in the next decade in Russia there will be an increased demand for high-level professional managers.

To name but a few. And a country that has made a breakthrough in this area is predicted to be a world leader. It is clear that attempts will be made, and no matter how much money you allocate for this from the budget, no matter how effective super-managers you entrust this business, you cannot do without specialists. As, however, and at all times.

7. BIOTECHNOLOGIES

Anna Krylova advises to pay serious attention to biotechnology. Such specialists are already being used in various fields of activity - from medicine and pharmacology to mining industry And Agriculture.

8. AGRICULTURE, FOOD PRODUCTION

“Now Russia's agriculture is in ruins,” Svetlana Getmanova regrets. - But it is impossible to imagine that this will continue forever. In the near future, we can predict the demand for qualified specialists in agriculture and food production.” Yes, and the Russian government puts this sector of the economy in the category of priorities.

9. ECOLOGY, ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES

“The idea of ​​responsible consumption and production, ecology is just beginning its journey in Russia,” says Vladimir Vainer, director of the Gran Prix Center for Advertising Research. “We will have to move from declarations to real programs.” If not Social responsibility business, the increasing attention of the state to the protection environment will make ecologists in demand in Russia.

10. WORKING PROFESSIONS

And about professions that are in demand at all times. Business consultant Pavel Ponomarev recalls: hairdressers, civil servants, builders, entertainment industry workers, Catering and (not tonight be mentioned) funeral homes.

Mikhail Solomatin, Irina Sinyatkina

How difficult was 2013 in terms of finding a job, and for whom? When is the best time to recruit? Are there patterns in the dynamics of vacancies and resumes? The portal Rabota.ru summarizes the results of the outgoing year in the labor market.

Throughout the year, unlike 2012, there were more resumes than vacancies. However, at the beginning of the year, the gap was quite bearable for applicants, and competition was moderately low (ratio of the number of resumes to the number of vacancies: 1.32 in January, 1.39 in February and 1.33 in March). Also, in general, the market behaved predictably: the diagram clearly shows the January and May seasonal declines in activity.

Since August, the market has ceased to be predictable. The number of resumes increased sharply, but the number of vacancies, instead of following the same trend, continued to fluctuate at the same level, and by November it had reached an annual minimum. Finding a job in the fall became much more difficult, and in October there were already 2.36 resumes per vacancy.

If we compare our data with the dynamics of 2012, it turns out that applicants were in no hurry to post resumes in the first half of the year, and employers were not in a hurry to look for employees in the summer and autumn.

In our monthly job market reviews, we alternately identified two distinct trends that appear to have shaped the market picture in 2013:

1) an influx of applicants into areas with a traditional shortage human resources and a simultaneous decrease in competition, and in other industries - a kind of equalization of supply and demand (perhaps due to this, from January to July, “crooked” vacancies and resumes went almost in parallel);

2) the trend toward a decrease in demand for workers that appeared closer to autumn, most likely caused by talk of a crisis.

Now let's look at the dynamics of the market in certain areas of professional activity.

For the convenience of readers, the Rabota.ru portal distributes spheres into three color zones depending on the intensity of competition in this area at the end of a particular month. We will use this terminology in the following review.

Applicant activity peak- the month in which the most resumes were posted in this area.

Peak activity of employers- the month in which employers posted the most vacancies for workers in this field.

- the month that in 2013 was the most favorable for finding a job in this area, that is, when the number of resumes per vacancy was minimal.

- a month in which it was less likely to find a job in this area, but with greater success it was possible to find an employee due to the fact that there were the largest number summary.

In the IT market in 2013, there were two peaks in the activity of employers - April and July. The first of them is typical for all spheres, the second is not. The demand for IT specialists is high: the industry has been in the “green zone” all year, the most favorable for finding a job.

Applicant activity peak— October (+48.68% of the summary against December 2012).

Peak activity of employers— April (+40.65% of vacancies compared to December 2012).

Least competition for jobs- April (1.22 resumes per 1 vacancy).

The greatest competition for jobs- October (2.27 resumes per 1 vacancy).

Top 5 professions: sales manager, sales assistant, call center operator, network administrator, PC operator.

Demand for administrative employees during 2013 changed insignificantly and was quite high compared to supply: only in October the industry left the "green zone" and moved to the "yellow" zone, which is characterized by medium tension in finding a job.

Applicant activity peak— October (+65.35% of resume against December 2012).

Peak activity of employers— April (+28.32% of vacancies compared to December 2012).

Least competition for jobs- April (1.64 resumes per 1 vacancy).

The greatest competition for jobs- October (3.27 resumes per 1 vacancy).

Top 5 professions: office administrator, secretary, courier, assistant secretary, cleaner.

Throughout the year, competition for jobs in this area was high, while the demand for specialists remained stable. Throughout 2013, the ratio of vacancies to resumes fluctuated within the "yellow zone", once moving into the "green", and in October it froze on the edge of the "red" - the most intense and almost hopeless for finding a job.

Applicant activity peak— October (+54.3% of the summary against December 2012).

Peak activity of employers— June (+21.5% of vacancies compared to December 2012).

Least competition for jobs- June (2.42 resumes per 1 vacancy).

The greatest competition for jobs- October (5.93 resumes per 1 vacancy).

Top 5 professions: credit manager, sales manager, account manager, cashier, boss.

In the first half of the year, the demand for employees in this area leveled off with the supply, but after May, competition among applicants began to grow, and in the fall it reached its maximum. Once one of the busiest, in 2013 this industry has firmly established itself between the "green" and "yellow" zones.

Applicant activity peak— October (+26.82% of resume against December 2012).

Peak activity of employers— April (+52.56% of vacancies compared to December 2012).

Least competition for jobs- May (1.63 resumes per 1 vacancy).

The greatest competition for jobs- September (4.22 resumes per 1 vacancy).

Top 5 professions: accountant, Chief Accountant, engineer-economist, cashier, accountant-cashier.

Civil service is the only area in which the autumn dynamics of vacancies coincided with the dynamics of resumes. However, the autumn surge of vacancies in this industry reflects not so much the dynamics of the market as the dynamics of vacancies on the portal Rabota.ru.

Applicant activity peak— October (+47.39% of resume against December 2012).

Well, who does not dream of fame and wealth - beautiful life everyone wants without exception. Even those who are ready to “be content with little” secretly dream of a piece of glory for themselves and a comfortable existence. How to realize your dream? Is it necessary to be at the right time and in the right place, or is it possible to plan the path to wealth?

Your attention - 10 professions that will help you become famous and rich.

Actress

Every second girl dreams of this profession. Magazine covers, universal love, autographs - tempting! If you can boast of the appropriate talent, patience, perseverance and striking appearance, then it is worth a try.

Where do they teach?

• Russian Academy of Theater Arts.
• VGIK.
• VTU named after Shchepkin.
• GITIS.
• VTU named after Schukin.
• Moscow University of Culture and Arts.

After graduating from the university, the road to the theater is open - this will be the first step on the path to fame. Don't miss out on other opportunities. For example, castings for various roles. Even if this role is small, it may be that your career will take off from it.

Disadvantages of the profession:

• Hours of work on filming. And, as a rule, not in the most favorable conditions.
• Constant flights and transfers.
• Chronic lack of sleep.
• Lack of time for family.
• Yes, and glory is a medal with two sides. Not everyone can stand the test of fame.

It is also worth noting that the profession of an actress is far from a solid white stripe. Prepare mentally for a periodic lull in your career and lack of demand. Unless, of course, you are the most versatile actress that directors are in line for.

Salary:

Fees depend on experience, fame and other factors.

• For example, an actress in the theater of a small town is a modest income, no more than 11,000 rubles.
• A popular domestic actress in the lead roles has an average fee for 1 day of filming - $ 2,700.
• The fee of a domestic serial actress is 500-5000 dollars in accordance with the "rank".

Competition in the profession - 95%.

artist

For every woman who cannot imagine herself without brushes and canvases, a natural dream is to become a famous artist. It is unlikely that you will be able to become another Raphael or Picasso, but if you have talent and your own original style it is very real to break through to the heights of glory.

Some manage to climb the "Olympus" even with such masterpieces as "yellow and red framed by orange." And if there is talent, then it’s a sin not to take a chance.

Where do they teach?

• State University of Technology and Design in St. Petersburg.
• Togliatti State University.
• State University of Design and Technology, Moscow.
• Arctic State Institute of Arts and Culture.

Of course, just studying at an art school is not enough. A talented artist will break through to fame even without an art education, and a mediocre one can spend years studying and remain unknown.

That's why…

• Look for your style.
• Use every opportunity to get noticed - exhibitions, communities, forums and websites, video tutorials (one of the most effective ways), seminars, meetings of artists, competitions, etc.
• Draw constantly and a lot.
• Create your portfolio. The best option- business card site with a store function.
• Find a reliable agent who will promote your work.

The main disadvantage of the profession: it is quite possible that it will take a long time to wait for glory.

Artist salary:

It will depend on demand and popularity.

• Beginner income - 10,000-15,000 rubles / month.
• Income more experienced artist - up to 2000 dollars.
• The income of a popular artist is up to $10,000 and more. For example, one painting by Nikas Safronov can cost $50,000.

Outlook:

With popularity and fame - big fees and worldwide recognition of talent. And there you can open your own art school. Or a gallery (whatever you like).

Competition in the profession - 50%.

Writer

For every woman who writes diligently and with inspiration in notebooks and Words, a book with a large circulation is the main dream. What is the most important thing for an author in pursuit of popularity? Of course, talent. And to him - a little bit of luck.

Where do they teach?

Unfortunately, nowhere. They do not teach to be writers, and that's it. And even literary institutes, alas, do not let out "writers". But education still does not hurt: literary institutes, journalism, philological universities, etc. This is the basis, without which many subtleties of the craft simply cannot be mastered.

How to become a writer?

• Try. Write, write and write again. Nothing falls into the hands of itself. Each of your new text must be better than the previous one.
• Try, advance, stand out. Participate in competitions, start pages on literary sites, storm publishing houses, study the publishing market.
• It is quite possible that you will have to start with a genre to which you do not have a soul. This famous writer can afford to publish whatever he writes. And the unknown first needs to make a name for himself. On what? Alas, publishers today do not spoil writers too much. They mostly accept technical literature, science fiction/fantasy, diet stories, and 1098 Ways to Get a Man to Get Married books.
• Don't forget audio books. You can promote your name much faster by presenting your book to the world in good voice acting.
• Do not miss the opportunity to become famous in blogs. Many blogger writers are fantastically popular (Slava Se, for example).

Disadvantages of the profession:

• The start is a matter of chance. You may be lucky right away, or maybe in 10 years.
• Muse is a capricious being. She can run away from the author.
• Books a la "to rustle the pages" are a thing of the past. They are being replaced by audio books. For those who are always busy.

Writer salary:

A solid fee can be expected after 3-4 published books (in large editions). 1st fee - about 20,000-30,000 rubles. Maximum $2,000. Solid fees come with fame.

Director

Where to study?

• VGIK.
• RATI.
• Theater Institute. B. Schukin.
• MGUKI.
• Humanitarian University of Trade Unions (St. Petersburg).

If you manage to graduate from one of these universities with success, then you will definitely be provided with a job. And then everything will depend on your talent, perseverance and abilities.
