Sources of Job Search

Choosing a job search tactics, we recommend not to be limited to just one source, but to use several at once. Thus, the chances of finding a suitable vacancy will increase significantly.

Internships

To do an internship in a company of interest, to show yourself and get a permanent position is an excellent scenario for a candidate who has no work experience yet. Many companies are selecting candidates for internships throughout the year, so we recommend you to follow companies’ updates on the official websites, in groups in social networks and, when a vacancy of interest appears, apply.

Companies’ training programs

Many large companies periodically (more often in the summer) organize free training events for students and graduates, where they teach participants the basics of certain professions and solve practical cases with them. Most of these programs have a specific goal - based on the results, select the most successful, active students and invite them to the initial position in the company. Therefore, participation in such programs is an excellent chance not only to gain knowledge and skills on a certain topic, but also to get an interesting starting position.

Events held by the Career Center at the university

Career centers at the university regularly hold various events in conjunction with large companies: guest lectures, company days at the faculty, job fairs, case championships, etc. It is important to choose those that will be most interesting, to participate in them and be active. An interesting question, the right comment, an informal conversation with business representatives - all this can help to establish contact with business representatives and achieve the desired goals.

Case championships

Сase championships can be held both internally and externally, for example, https://changellenge.com/.The advantage of this format is that several companies take part in case championships at the same time, so there is an opportunity to get acquainted with representatives of different companies, and to take a closer look at some of them.
