first work - a headache any university graduate.If you have no experience, you do not recruit.How to get experience if no work take?Often this vital powerless to solve the puzzle even smart students.But in fact, the solution is fairly simple puzzles ...
get a job in a large, successful company at the end of high school dreams of any student.But back to reality, many people realize that the chances are slim to disrupt a jackpot.Modern employers impose the candidates more and more demands and the lack of experience sometimes can permanently tighten job search.Unfortunately, the demand for young professionals in the labor market is low.
But do not throw the same for the invaluable experience of school and go on business trips and writing reports instead of classes in high school!As it turned out, to gain professional experience and can be a more convenient way.For example, to participate in internship programs.
Such is the trainee share
enjoy the benefits of working in apprenticeship programs is easy.Firstly, it is a great opportunity to get the first hands-on experience and a long-awaited entry into employment.Second, the training - a good way how to try future profession, "taste", look at it from the inside.Plus, at the trainee has a great chance to live the life of office and purchase a number of important skills such as team work, business communication and personal organization.
course, ideally the best internship in a large and well-known organization.But the selection of trainees in international and large Russian companies usually as tough as in employment.High demands are made to the professional knowledge of candidates level of knowledge of foreign languages, particularly close attention to personal qualities: initiative, nonstand.In the absence of experience, they become one of the main "treasure" of the candidate.
«We accept internships for young, ambitious and talented young people who in the future will become the leaders of our business, and make a great contribution to the company," - says Eugene Fastova, senior specialist of the company's personnel Unilever.
Standard length of apprenticeship programs - from one month to one year.Basically, companies recruit students for the summer so that they can fully operate without prejudice to the study.
But there are exceptions.For example, Unilever is offering students a program of winter and summer internships."The duration of the internship - an average of 2-3 months.The number of students recruited depends on the needs of the business at the moment.But every year are trained more than 50 people.Typically, the kit comes in all key areas of the company: marketing, finance, supply chain management, customer service, human resources, research and development, "- says Eugene Fastova.
fact of payment will depend on the internship place funds at the disposal of the company and, of course, the scope of its activities.For example, the work of young financiers banks are often not paid, and trainees from the IT-sphere can count on monetary reward.But do not regard training as a way to make money or get rich.Sooner even talk about real wages, rather it will be the payment of expenses related to the work, - the cost of transport, meals, mobile.
selection rules in different companies may differ materially.It is believed that the harder the company selected, the greater the chance at the end to take a full-time internship position.
On the methods of selection of students, trainees, taken in "BAT Russia", says the manager of Human Resources Igor bass: "First we need to complete the application form for participation in the internship program for students.Applicants profiles to be selected during the competition will be invited to be tested for the analysis of numerical and verbal information.
After the test, the candidates have to analyze the business case to take managerial decision in accordance with the task and suggest ways to reduce or prevent the risks identified.The job runs in the group, part of each candidate is evaluated on the basis of his contribution to the team result.The discussion takes place in English.
Candidates who have successfully passed all the tests are invited to a meeting with the manager of a functional unit, which the student has chosen for an internship. "
Entry - canary for a penny?
Even with all the advantages of life intern, a considerable part of the students is quite skeptical of this kind of practice.They believe that these programs are built on the principle of the use of cheap labor the students who work for the full amount, which does not suit a seasoned professional.
«Employer it clear pepper, profitable - says in our forum user under the name Orange cat.- Do not look for highly paid professionals.You buy a college boy for 20 thousand a month, and he is in a couple of months, well does all the work. "
In fact, training - is mutually beneficial cooperation.For the employer - is the best way to fill talent pool and grow specialist "for themselves" and for the graduate - to look at the work, assess their strength and gain experience while studying.
Another part of the students believes that the trainees gain only as a temporary cheap labor, and few employers' plans to adopt a young officer in the state.
But all these speculations have little to do with reality."We have in the company after the end of the internship the students always have a choice - says Eugene Fastova.- If the intern positively proved in his department there is a vacancy, he may be asked to stay in the company.Also, successful trainees are able to go through an abbreviated selection for program graduates Unilever Future Leaders Program ».
Train, invest time, effort, money, and then release the intern enterprise unprofitable.Therefore, opening any trainee positions, the company was initially interested in the subsequent reception of the young specialist on a permanent job.
What everyone should know about internships?
Training - no training!As a rule, the selection of trainees preference is given to students of 4-5 courses, when theoretical knowledge becomes enough to use them in practice.Often, at the time of the internship to the young staff puts mentors, but it is done only to familiarize newcomers with future obligations and not to teach the whole process works.
Internship - full-time job!Do not think that the program - a free visit and a cushy job in shifting pieces of paper and photocopying documents.
«In Unilever's intern - a full-fledged employee, - says Eugene Fastova.- He is attached to a specific business project in the selected department and works closely with the line manager, who confronts him interesting and challenging tasks. "
Every employer assumes that an intern on a par with regular employees will perform their duties, the company will make money, not just spend it on training young workers.
internship must be documented!Training is conducted in the framework of the Labour Code of the Russian Federation as a full-fledged industrial activity.Consequently, between the student and the employer must be enclosed fixed-term contract for a period of training and employment history is framed.
