Employment
It is very difficult to find an interesting and well-paid job. Especially it is hard, if you claim the high position. Requirements for applicants are very strict. They must be capable of independently tackling the tasks, set to them; be able to compile documents, to conform to the company's image, to be responsible for results of their work. Free command of foreign languages will raise your chances. You must be ready to pass the attitude test, which will help to access the candidate's suitability for the post. An applicant for a job must be hard on people, but modest. At hiring it's necessary to tell your background, dates about successes in your previous job, reasons of dismissal (you might become redundant or at own will).
You should bear in mind that your revenue and your future position will depend on your track record. For example, you can be worker, self-employed or member of senior management. Your salary will also depend on your employment at the work. Many firms offer a work-flexibility. The information about requirements at hiring to different companies and firms you may find in eye-catching leaflets, in Internet and at people, who are directing mail shot.
Every company has own rivals. That's why it's very important to be able to appear clients, to be hard on people at hiring of new personnel and to testify to the company's dependability on the market right. Good workers always receive bonuses. It is necessary to remember, that you can't claim the senior position without high education.
If you have passed probationary period successfully, have come up to the expectations of the company, if you are pleased of salary, of graphic of work, of requirements that the company has offered to you, it means, that this job approaches you.
