Practical steps for a safe Career.
 

Labor Market

 

Even though Labor Market may seem as a real chaos,actually,with the passing of time,the improvement of social consciousness and most of all with the consolidation of private business(which is not interested in the dominance of incompetence),is a place in which we can move without any problem and even find our position in it,only by knowing some basic rules.

Self-employment

 

Self-employment is a useful option for a professional career.Before starting such an experience,it is obligatory to follow some important steps like: Labor Search,Actual needs of the Labor etc. If it is a self-employment in consultancy and service then you should have clear ideas about the field in which you are operating.Albanian Government and Corporations of every city have some facilitations and provisions which have to do with the opening of new businesses from people 18-30 years old.You can find these informations in:

  Post-university Career Planning

Choosing the  post-university studies is another important aspect to form a solid career.We should create a good proceeding plan,discover the programs which match with our needs and consult with professionals of the section in which we are interested.All this should be done without forgetting the requirement of the labor market.

Experience

Another important aspect for a healthy career that will make the difference is experience.This experience can be gained from :

Intership  
Seminars
Trainings
Participation in projects,in and out of the country.
Volunteering work.

 A positive experience in one of these areas,is a plus for a complete CV.

Network

One of the basic points for a successful career is the creation of a network.A network which can be enriched in faires of work and also in companies of selection which are a valid option to extend your personal network.Everyday we meet people who can give us different informations which can help in our career en route.We should know how to save this inteconnections with our families,classmates,colleagues,employers,professors or other professionals.We should obtain the circuit of contacts and appointments with as much informations as possible and profit from different situations.

• The well use of means and strategies when searching for a workplace will help you to improve your proficiency to succeed in the labor market.Corresponding information,together with the needed documentation and the creation of contacts network will give us priority during job interviews.

Research

Research is the way how to organize our career. We have divided the research aspect into 4 steps as we will be dealing below:

Valuation of the labor market

Valuation of the market requirements is another important aspect in our career.To valuate the labor market we need: Too much time avaliable,too much patience and a detailed planning.

Identification and pointing of market requirements

At the end of this valuation will be easier for us to focus on the fields that we are interested and are professionaly trained.Pointing of market interests and the points where market interests and our professional ones meet,are the ones which will help us invest over our career.
Preparation and Documentation

Preparation of the CV is another important aspect for our career.There is no special way to prepare a CV accurately but there is a list with the things that should be mentioned and shouldn’t be undervalued for no reason :

Personal data
