What profession is better to master. How to choose the right profession. Try yourself in cooking

Educational process practically unchanged since the 15th century, when the first printing press was invented. But now there is an opportunity to learn from teachers who are thousands of kilometers away. Together with the educational service, we tell you how to master the IT profession, undergo an internship and get a job. And all this - without leaving your home.

This material was written with the support of GeekBrains.

Five years ago, online education was not considered a serious alternative to university education. Now even large companies are sending their employees to online classes. As, for example, Google does it, which has 80 thousand of its employees for the Udacity course on HTML5.

There are certainly downsides to online education. For example, students do not have sufficient motivation to learn, since there is no feedback from the teacher and there is practically no control. But modern services have solved these problems - in GeekBrains, for example, courses can be taken in real time, as well as homework assignments that will be checked by teachers, and the result of which will be considered in detail in the next lesson.

In 2015, a third of students around the world completed their courses to completion, which is several percent more than last year. And the figure is only growing every year.

Now educational services can give a student a full-fledged profession. Together with the educational platform GeekBrains, we have selected seven popular professions and told how to get them without leaving your home.

Web developer

Average salary: 90 thousand rubles

The GeekBrains module lasts 10 months. If the student successfully completes the eight-month training, then they receive a two-month internship in a real project.

Android programmer

Average salary: 110 thousand rubles

From 2012 to 2014, the number of vacancies for has increased by 110%. The number of programmers themselves has also grown, but good specialists, as always, are in demand in any type of business.

iOS programmer

There are many jokes about the difficulty of finding mutual understanding between customers. But no matter what they say, this is the ideal profession for those who want to combine technology and creativity.

If you have a family, tell the family council that you are going to study and get a new profession. You will have to devote less time to your family, as you will have to study in the evenings and on weekends. Lectures cannot be missed. Homework is time-consuming, and this should also be taken into account.

2. Before enrolling in a group for passing the module, it is very important to clarify the level with the teacher. necessary knowledge... If your level does not hold out, then the service will advise where to start.

3. Try to do your homework as much as possible.

Sergey Medny, automated testing engineer at Mail.ru

To find interesting professions for which they will take without a diploma, we rummaged through sites to find work. Some of the vacancies where you can work without special education turned out to be so cool that you can send your resume right now.

Work for food

The first group of professions for which no crust is needed is associated exclusively with natural talent. It takes sensitive receptors and a love of food to become a taster. The most attractive vacancies are associated with sweets and what sweets to drink.

Cake taster

The Christophe Laermans confectionery factory was looking for a person who can eat 2.5 kg of sweets per day. Employment required medical book and the absence of allergies, and the company gave a salary, a discount on the products of the factory and paid for a gym membership.

Tea tester

A tea taster is a person who tastes tea. Such employees are needed when a company is going to purchase a batch of goods: they determine how high-quality tea suppliers offer. And for this you have to travel to India, Africa, China and in general to all countries producing tea.

The tester also drinks tea after purchases: he checks if the taste has changed after transportation and packaging in the factory.

When we were given this vacancy to select a candidate, the requirements were: first, to love tea, second, to have a certain physiological sensitivity, the ability to determine astringency and aroma. It should be noted that salaries are high: this profession is rare.

Natalia Storozheva, general manager recruiting agency"Perspective"

In Russia, they do not teach for a profession anywhere, so the company itself recruits people and sends them to study abroad. Further, only experience is required and more experience.

Work for travel

Not everyone can be tasters if the tea bag tastes the same as the rare loose leaf tea. To become a traveler, you need much less natural data, there would be a desire.

Tourism manager

Quite a common vacancy for which special education is not needed. It is just such a "rough" work in tourism that will replace any university.

The advantage of work is the opportunity to go on special study tours, which are usually held out of season. Minus - low initial wage, but there is an opportunity to develop and become an expert in directions.

Olga Evstratova, Commercial Director, Caribbean Club

The manager communicates with clients, studies the offers of hotels and guides in different countries and makes sure that the expectations of the clients coincide with the capabilities of the receiving party.

Leisure Director

This is, apparently, the highest stage in the development of a tourism manager. One to Trip offers everyone over 18 years old with a passport and passable English, completing crazy tasks. Then it is imperative to report on the trip, but not to the bosses, but to the whole world: tell the details and give advice to the company's subscribers.

Professional traveler

A vacancy similar to the director of recreation: a person with knowledge of English, a passport, active and sociable is required.

The traveler had to deliver hornbeams (orders of our users), communicate with customers and conduct interviews with them, blog about bargains abroad, advice and experiences of our users, create content for our social networks and help other travelers.

Daria Child, founder of Grabr

An additional point in the job requirements is love for. We need a person for whom Black Friday is not the title of a horror movie, but the event of the year.

Work for interest

Earning money for a hobby is not only about making soap and making cakes to order. There are also unexpected options.

Car navigator

Roman Gerasimov, navigator of the FONBET Trophy-Team, author and host of the project "Motorsport in faces", spoke about this profession.

To become a co-driver, you must first get into the next competition with anyone: a spectator to understand whether you like this kind of motorsport, an assistant judge to find out the organization of the race from the inside, a pilot if you have your own car. The main thing is to understand that you are ready to endure all this.

Roman Gerasimov

In trophy-raids, the navigator is the “eyes” of the crew, it is he who knows where to go, and also keeps track of the time, instruments and works with sports documents. In addition, in the event that the car gets stuck, the navigator works with an electric winch, jack and shovel to pull the car out.

At the initial stage, you need to study navigation devices, competition rules, terms and tools. It is important to work on physical fitness, because it is difficult to move through the swamps.

The payment for the work of the navigator at the initial stage may be small, it depends on the experience and reputation of each particular specialist. Outstanding representatives can be spotted by major sports teams and taken on full-time jobs. The navigator's work is sporadic, usually on weekends, when trophy raids are more frequent. That is, it can be combined with other work.

Untitled profession

This is a job for those whose hobby is messing around.

Alexander Malafeev, HR Director of Srochnodengi, says: “A couple of months ago, one of my friends on Facebook published a vacancy as part of his sociological project. He could not come up with a name for this vacancy, because the main functional responsibility This position consisted of sitting at an empty office table all day and doing nothing. It was necessary to understand how long the average average citizen would withstand such torture for money, as well as what his motivation was. I will say right away that there were enough responses. "

Party King

In April 2016 mobile app JoyME was looking for a candidate for the "Party King" position. Responsibilities: to know everything about entertainment, fashion shows, crossfit, races and parties in Moscow. The king of parties had to attend all these events (although this is not always easy), make acquaintances and attract application users, and at the same time look for partners for further development business. Education did not matter, but the ability to pass any face control was needed.

Work that helps

There is such a profession - helping people. For example, looking after the owners while the owners are away, walking if the owners are busy, combing and even teaching the dog to speak. The YouDo.com service helped with a selection of such professions, where they often look for unusual assistants:

• A person who will make friends with a cat and a dog.
• A responsible man who will remind you three times a day that it is time to take medicine.
• A cheerful girl who will play the role of a soul mate in front of relatives at a family evening.
• A music lover who can compose an original playlist with comments.
• A persevering person who completes a large puzzle.

And that's not counting the standard requests to take a queue or help with cleaning. You can hardly make a career in this area, but if you love helping people, then why not make money on it.

HR vice versa

Recruiters learn right in the field, where they have to evaluate people. Typically, an HR manager works with job seekers. But sometimes the “wrong” HR is required.

Elena Sentsova, HR Manager at CTC Group, says: “CTC Group specializes in outsourcing and personnel leasing, as well as outstaffing. At our facilities, it is common shift method work. The shift lasts 45, 60 days or more - at the person's choice. Then contract of employment close with him.

This is what employees do. unusual profession- managers for work with laid-off workers. A laid-off manager is the opposite of a secretary. He sees off the shift workers on vacation and makes the process as comfortable as possible. Later he calls people and offers to continue cooperation. Such care is bearing fruit: more than half of the specialists are returning. "

It is possible to work as a dismissed manager without education. The main requirements for such specialists are a positive outlook on life, sociability, the ability to establish contact with owners of even the most complex nature.

We found all the above professions in less than a week. And these are not all cool positions that do not need a diploma. Tell us in the comments what vacancies you have seen for the "ignorant".

1. Consider your own passions. You can easily turn your hobby into a future profession. Many hobbies relate to needs and jobs in the real world. Think about what you like and how you can turn this hobby into a profession.

   • For example, if you enjoy playing computer games, you can become a computer game designer, programmer, or quality assurance professional.
   • If you like drawing or art, you can master the profession of a graphic designer.
   • If you enjoy playing sports, consider coaching education and obtaining an appropriate certification of qualifications.

2. Analyze the subjects that you enjoyed in school. Academic disciplines give you the opportunity to get the job of a lifetime, but you may have to get additional education...

If you want to save your future from the impending cataclysm, listen to our every word! Okay, let's not be so pessimistic about economic affairs in Russia. Let's just say that today we will talk about opportunities, professional reorientation, training, in a word, about the future. And this is important for everyone, absolutely.

There is not much work in the country now. There are a lot of specialties, mainly of a humanitarian nature, which have fallen sharply in price. Here you graduated from the institute, cheerful and full of hope, and your diploma turned out to be a dummy. You are frantically looking for a job, but no one wants to take you. And the point is not in your abilities, the point is that there are reductions, and you are not to blame for this. The country is just in this position. You should not despair, you just need to show the flexibility of the mind and penetrate where healthy wages still live. In which market segment is everything always good? We have a fairly simple answer to this seemingly difficult question - in IT.

Next, we will explain why and give the average salaries by country for each specialty that we have chosen. In addition, you will learn where you can learn each profession, and not just yourself, but from real professionals who will provide you with a place for an internship.

In general, gnaw the granite of science before it's too late!

1. Web developer

There are hundreds of courses on the Internet, but good ones can be counted on the fingers of one hand. And the thing is, many "smart" guys offer weekly, monthly, two-month training in the profession of a web developer. Eh dude! All this has nothing to do with reality. If you want to become a web developer, you will have to unlearn at least 10 months and undergo an internship to consolidate the knowledge gained (and maybe even find an employer). Then you will be able to earn 74 thousand rubles a month (the average salary in Moscow) or even more.

7. Ruby programmer

The Ruby language is unique. It is loved by many programmers, and all because it is just pleasant to work on it. Thanks to him, you can solve complex problems. in simple ways have an excellent understanding of the HTTP protocol and REST principles. And, of course, any qualified person knows how to optimize and test code. Well, in general, in training (and this applies to all specialties), one can single out such pleasant little things as communicating with classmates and recording all classes.

We don’t want to tell you how much time you will spend on this course. In this case, you don’t spend it, but invest it - understand the difference! So, in total, the course lasts 6 months and is divided into three parts and an internship.

People of this profession who do everything right, like animals from the Red Book. But there are a lot of SEOs who have no knowledge. We recommend that you pay close attention to this course. And even if an SEO specialist, when compared with others on this list, gets less (average earnings - 50 thousand rubles in Moscow), but he is always needed, and the prospects for growth in this area are endless.

For 4 months you will be studying two sides of the question: Basics of website creation and SEO. What will you know at the end of the course?
