Senior Manager
A person who successfully searches for clients, sells products, organizes PR campaigns, etc. always in a special account, because the size of the profit of the entire enterprise depends to a large extent on his actions. A senior manager supervises other professionals in sales, advertising, or construction. It is noteworthy that at the same time he can perform their functions. The salary of a good worker is quite comparable to the earnings of a successful private entrepreneur.
Oil and gas industry worker
This area of ​​activity is traditionally considered prestigious. Oil masters, drillers, and mineral transport engineers have always made good money. Is it worth enrolling in one of these specialties, because we are talking about narrow-profile training? Yes, it is worth it, because right now there is an acute shortage of qualified personnel.
IT specialist
IT (information technology) is the most promising field of activity, because even now not a single structure can do without such workers. The main task of such employees is to ensure the protection and safety of information. In addition, they create databases, identify sources of data leakage, and control access to files. At many enterprises, the list of their duties includes ensuring the smooth functioning of office equipment.
Business consultant
This refers to people whose duties include information support of individuals and legal entities on issues related to entrepreneurial activity. Their task is to offer the optimal solution to a particular problem. In addition, representatives of this profession are engaged in teaching in the framework of seminars and trainings, which are now advertised at every stop. Some companies introduce such staff positions in order to conduct classes exclusively for their employees.
Auditor
We are used to the fact that the role of the inspector is performed by a representative of the supervisory authority. Auditing in this context is a secondary activity. This situation is becoming a part of the past, because now it is increasingly allocated to a separate position. The auditor must have a wide range of knowledge, because only in this case he will be able to draw a conclusion about the effectiveness of a particular organization from a financial point of view. In addition, representatives of this profession are engaged in consulting on accounting issues.
Programmer
A specialty related to the previous one, but the duties of the employee include the creation, adjustment and configuration of software. A highly qualified specialist in this field is worth its weight in gold, so if you have the relevant knowledge, skills and abilities, you can count on a very high salary.
Chief Accountant
Often not inferior to the director in importance, although formally subordinate to him. This state of affairs is easy to explain, because the success of the entire enterprise depends on the state of financial affairs. There is little higher education, so many additionally study according to special programs. The chief accountant is probably the most striking example of employment in which extensive experience is required to succeed.
Dentist
A good doctor is always in demand, and a dentist in particular. Responsibilities include examining the oral cavity, treatment / prevention of teeth and gums, counseling patients. A dentist may not have a higher education, but we strongly advise you to get it, because there are a lot of applicants now, which means you should secure an advantage in the competition.
logistician
These people are responsible for organizing and coordinating the transportation of products from production / warehouse to the place of shipment. In addition, they make sure that the goods are not idle. The volume of traffic is constantly growing, so this type of employment is very promising. The work often involves the use of narrow-profile software, so good computer skills will not hurt.
Chef
The best representatives of this specialty are no less famous than film actors or pop groups, but even if we are talking about the average head of the kitchen of a restaurant, club, etc., his salary can only cause envy. The peculiarity of the profession is that it is this person who invents, searches for and improves exclusive recipes, for which many visitors are ready to book a table for several months in advance.

Beauty industry specialist

What professions will be in demand in the future?
Experts believe that in the near future, engineers, technicians and production managers will remain the most in demand. Physicians, chemists and biologists will also be required. Nano- and biotechnologies will not stand still, so specialists in these areas will also be needed.
High technologies have not only firmly entered our lives, it is difficult to imagine at least one day without them. So in the future, professional IT specialists, programmers and software developers will be required.

Experts also believe that there will be a demand for quality service and service professionals will be in demand. And finally, environmental protection issues are relevant all over the world, which means that ecologists will be required.
This is the situation in Russia as a whole, but when choosing a profession, you can contact the state employment service and get a list of the most popular professions in your region.

Therefore, hairdressers, cosmetologists, governesses are simply obliged to have not only a talent from God, but also a diploma from the best educational center.

By the way, this question also applies to those who want to change their occupation. When choosing a specialty in 2017, it is worth considering not only the demand for it, but also the prospects for the industry, career opportunities and salary levels. Keeping up with changing trends is not an easy task. To make your search easier, we have compiled a rating of the most demanded professions in the near future according to the personnel portals of the CIS countries and abroad.

Demanded specialties in the CIS countries

IT specialist

The world of computer technology is moving forward by leaps and bounds. Tempting salaries and a huge number of offers (including from foreign companies) involve more and more employees in IT. According to the forecasts of leading personnel officers, this field of activity will be at the peak of popularity for at least another ten years. What areas of IT-technologies are the most attractive? The first place by a wide margin was occupied by web development (i.e., the creation and maintenance of high-quality Internet sites and applications).


The ability to work remotely is one of the main advantages of the IT sector.

The salary of a novice web developer in large cities of the CIS is 500-600 dollars, more experienced - from 1000. "Silver" is shared by .NET and Java programmers. Moreover, the first specialty is more popular in Russia and Ukraine, and the second - abroad. The top three is closed by Mobile and C++ programmers. Depending on qualifications, the income of a specialist in this field ranges from $500 to $3,500. Among the advantages of IT professions is the ability to work freelance from anywhere in the world.

Doctor

Medicine is a field of activity that never ceases to be in demand. Unfortunately, in the CIS, employees of state institutions receive little. But private clinics offer employees decent remuneration. Dentists remain the highest paid doctors. But that may change in the coming decades. There is a growing demand for narrow-profile doctors: surgeons, gynecologists, nutritionists, ophthalmologists, speech therapists. The fashion for psychotherapists and psychoanalysts migrates to the post-Soviet expanses.


Work in the medical field will be relevant at any time

The development of the pharmaceutical industry creates a demand for experts in the field of medicines. Health care has not been spared by the information revolution. According to experts, the IT sector will intersect with medicine at such points as cyberprosthetics, computerized microsurgery, and the architecture of modern medical equipment. Soon, employers will be interested in valveologists and genetic engineers.

Engineer

Not so long ago, technical specialties were considered unpromising and low-paid. But in recent decades, the situation has changed. The boom promises a great future for the profession of design engineer and architect. Thanks to the development of industry, the demand for specialists in organizing the extraction of raw materials has increased. Mechanical engineers have good chances to build a career. Their job is to design, manufacture and use technical equipment.

Financier

This profession is one of the most prestigious and profitable in the world. Financiers of different levels are needed in almost every organization. Most finance professionals work for investment funds, finance companies, banks, and government departments. Among specialists in this field, it is easiest to find work for accountants and bank employees. And in terms of salaries, financial analysts and directors are in the lead.


The agricultural sector continues to increase the number of vacancies

agrospecialist

At first glance, agricultural specialties do not seem very tempting. However, the number of vacancies in the agricultural sector continues to grow. The most demanded are specialists in the sale of agricultural products and equipment, woodworking, agronomy and veterinary medicine. Since the competition among them is low, the chance to get a good job is quite real.

Sales Manager

For several years, vacancies for "salespeople" have remained the most common on job search sites. This specialty is popular and does not require a narrow-profile education. But not everyone can become a first-class sales manager. To succeed in this business, you will need remarkable courage, charm and the ability to convince anyone of anything.

Marketing manager, advertising manager

The number of jobs in this area is growing with an enviable constancy. The palm was won by job offers in Internet marketing and SEO promotion. The demand for the services of sales managers, merchandisers, and graphic designers has risen.


Organizational professions continue to be in demand

Administrative staff

Call center operators, office managers, secretaries - such employees are needed everywhere and always. The highest salaries in this sector are received by personal drivers and translation assistants. In addition, many large enterprises open specific vacancies such as an assistant to the head with the functions of a client manager.

Logistics specialist

The logistics market has a lot to offer the applicant. Most of the vacancies are addressed to specialists in warehousing, foreign trade and transportation managers. Of course, a novice employee is unlikely to receive sky-high fees. However, executive salaries are higher than the average.

HR manager

In recent years, it is impossible not to notice an increase in the number of vacancies in the field of HR. Specialists in this area do not only conduct interviews. They help build good relationships within the team, motivate and develop staff. As a rule, psychologists become HR managers.

Things are a little different in the global employment market. Like us, the most tempting prospects are open to IT specialists. The sphere of biotechnologies and biomedicine is developing dynamically, the profession of a nanotechnologist is gaining relevance. This specialty combines engineering and biology. The task of a nanotechnologist is to create new materials from the smallest particles, as well as to study microscopic processes in living organisms. Now more than two million experts are employed in this area.

No less popular is the specialty of ecologist. Doctors - anesthesiologists, psychiatrists, surgeons - also entered the top of the demanded professions. Keeping up with progress is the field of chemistry and energy, where knowledge of new technologies is a guarantee of employment. As in the post-Soviet countries, qualified engineers and logisticians do not sit without work. As for the humanities, the work of journalists and advertisers is in the greatest demand. Shark pen talents are indispensable when promoting any company or product.


Experts in their field are also important for the super-popular tourism sector.

Tourism and the service industry is another area of ​​activity that is experiencing a rapid rise, because today almost every American and European can afford. At the same time, one cannot do without an experienced tourism manager, guides, hotel and restaurant workers, as well as service personnel. Wealthy people daily need the services of governesses, tutors, beauticians. Of course, not everyone will agree to such a job, but it is generously paid. Not surprisingly, service employees sometimes manage to put together a decent amount of capital.

Is it worth choosing popular professions?

Choosing a profession is not an easy task. Before making a fateful decision, it is worth considering: is it so important to keep up with fashion, or is it better to step on the path to which the soul lies? After all, representatives of popular professions often face stiff competition. In the past decade, this has happened to graduates of law and economic universities. There were many more young professionals in these areas than there were vacancies. The modern labor market is getting tougher.

To succeed in job hunting, it is not enough to have a specialized education. Knowledge of English, the ability to work in a team, personal qualities - all these circumstances affect the future of the applicant. Highly specialized skills will also help you find a job. It is worth paying attention to the "professions of the future". These areas have appeared recently, but they promise to become extremely popular in 5-10 years. Basic education in such areas can be obtained now.


When choosing a popular profession, get ready for tough competition

Pay attention to the following professions - perhaps one of them will become your life's work!

  • IT geneticist- a profession at the intersection of computer technology and biology. The job of this employee is to program the genome for the treatment of hereditary diseases.

They began to prepare students for non-core specialties and dubious programs.

Due to the low quality of education and the excess of supply over demand, graduates had to retrain and look for other jobs. Some mastered working specialties, others went into the service sector.

Let's take a look at what happened in 2017

In September last year, the Ministry of Labor named engineers the most sought-after specialists on the labor market. The ministry also noted the demand for doctors and nurses (despite the introduction of automation systems) and skilled workers: electricians, welders, turners. According to the department, entrepreneurs, managers and document specialists more often than others remain unemployed in Russia.

The Ministry of Labor also provided a list of highly paid professions based on vacancies that appeared in the first half of the year.

But what awaited young professionals in the labor market, according to Career.ru.

But when choosing a specialty, it is important to think ahead.

Let's look into the future: what awaits us after 2020

The Unity recruitment agency interviewed Russian companies and compiled a list of professions that will be in demand in 2021. The top 5 included the following specialties:

  • Food production technologist.
  • Mobile application architect.
  • Biochemist.
  • Financial analyst.
  • Strategist in the field of search and personnel management.

Also, according to respondents, companies will continue to look for Big Data specialists, Java and Python developers, and mobile application designers.

Well-known companies in the labor market also conduct a survey. According to the recruiting company Hays: more than half of those surveyed believe that their profession will change dramatically in 10 years and will require new skills.

The Moscow School of Management Skolkovo and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives have compiled a list of "dying" professions. The list includes the following specialties:

  • notary, librarian, copywriter;
  • tester, system administrator;
  • bank teller, analyst;
  • secretary, logistician;
  • driver, dispatcher, journalist.

Also, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo created the Atlas of New Professions. It includes over 100 new specialties, most of which will appear only after 2020. Developers identify 5 future trends: automation, globalization, increasing complexity of control systems, increased competition and environmental requirements.

However, while universities do not teach IT geneticists, space tourism managers and medical robot operators, you should pay attention to the list of professions adopted by the Government of the Russian Federation.

What profession should I choose?

No one will make the choice for you: you need to make an informed decision, taking into account forecasts, market conditions and, of course, your abilities.

What to do:

  • Take a career guidance test and consult with a specialist.
  • Study the list of professions approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, and "Atlas".
  • Monitor vacancies: note the demanded requirements for applicants, the level of wages.
  • Listen to expert forecasts and monitor the labor market. For example, HeadHunter periodically publishes reports on specific regions and industries. An example is on the site hh.ru.

P.S. We do not live in the USSR: it is unlikely that you will be able to study, then get a job in one place and work all your life. You must always keep your finger on the pulse.
