Vocation. Is it worth choosing a profession (niche) where the competition is too high? Recruiters named professions with minimal competition Which professions have the most competition

Analysts of the career portal rabota.ua conducted a study on the number of responses to the most popular headings over the past 5 years. The number of responses is the average number of resumes or resume letters that an employer receives for a posted job. We can say that this is the number of competitors in the struggle for the desired position.

Lawyers: personnel search

The highest competition is for the position of a lawyer. The prestige of this work among the parents of applicants, as well as expectations from it as a highly paid and prestigious specialty, played a role. Yes, and the market higher education"hurried", releasing lawyers literally in batches. Specialties "jurisprudence" in different types was not only in the "lazy" universities. But the quality of education of such specialists left much to be desired. Perhaps that is why, even in stable years, many young lawyers could not find work in their specialty.

And now the number of young lawyers out of work has become even greater. The company is made up of experienced specialists, reduced from those businesses where legal work there were fewer contracts with contractors and clients, litigation, etc. In addition, many employers hire lawyers on a part-time or "piece-rate" basis, or even give them away. legal support outsourcing companies. Here main reason the fact that over the past 5 years, lawyers have topped the ranking of the most competitive vacancies.

Tops: pushed back by business owners

In addition to lawyers, the top three leading areas with the most competition include top managers. It is clear that applicants leadership positions, or rather, there were always significantly more people wishing to take the places of chiefs than the positions themselves.

In the case of the top teams, 2014 and 2013 were marked both by a reduction in the number of top teams of some companies in the struggle for budget cuts for salaries, and by the tendency for the owners of some businesses to return to operational management. This led to an increase in the number of dismissed managers and increased competition.

Administrative staff: desire for an easy start

Another area with the biggest competition is administrative staff. As a rule, the work of a secretary is the first position in the career of many respectable business women. There is an opportunity to see the business from the inside, sometimes using a foreign language, to integrate into the company and continue a career in it.

This is the kind of career start that doesn't require the sales skills that many simply shy away from. And just universal work - administrative staff is needed in every company. Perhaps for this reason, last year the number of applications for a vacancy in the field of administrative personnel was a record - for all 5 years of the study.

Accountants and HR: "drying" business processes

Economists-accountants and HRs have become victims of their own universality - they occupy 4-5 lines in the rating. Competition in these segments has intensified in recent years due to the "drying" of the company's business processes, and, accordingly, the release of a certain proportion of specialists.

IT people: fashion and salaries in foreign currency

An interesting trend is the increase in the number of responses to IT vacancies. Since 2012, it has grown by 2.5 times. The same positive dynamics is observed in working specialties. But if people go to working specialties more based on temporary part-time jobs, then the increase in activity in IT is associated with the desire of applicants to receive wages tied to the foreign exchange rate and acquire all the charms of the position of a programmer.

The average number of responses to vacancies posted on the rabota.ua portal in dynamics over 5 years

Tourism, marketing: relative stability

Relatively stable is the number of responses to vacancies in the field of tourism and travel. Nevertheless, it is still difficult for employers to find an experienced specialist from 16-20 responses. More or less everything is stable in the field of marketing - the "classic" marketing is being replaced by Internet marketing, which allows you to be more effective at lower costs. The number of responses in the field of production is also stable, as well as in construction-architecture. Last year was critical, judging by the surge in the number of responses, but this year the situation intends to stabilize.

Market outsiders: no applicants

Real estate vacancies are stable market outsiders. Even in the crisis year of 2014, the number of responses did not exceed 10. The fact that such low competition in this area is explained not only by not the best situation, but also by the unwillingness of applicants to apply for these vacancies: to earn money in the same real estate in this moment- it will not work, and those salaries that are indicated in the description of vacancies are a possible amount based on sales results, but not a guaranteed rate. Things are a little better in the auto business, pharmaceuticals and blue-collar jobs.

Summing up the presented analysis, we can conclude that last year became a serious test for the labor market. The competition is highest in the "office segment" - companies began to cut staff, which they could afford in a more optimistic business situation. Competition is intensifying in the segment of banking vacancies and IT specialties. Normally, easier job find active specialists in the field of trade and sales.

The labor market in Kazakhstan is experiencing a shortage of workers in the manufacturing sector. In total, according to recruiting companies, there are more than ten areas where there is the lowest competition for specialists, reports.

Director of the recruiting agency "Optimum" Dina Abylkhozhina explained that in the manufacturing sector there is a shortage of personnel both in managerial positions and middle-level specialists. In particular, we are talking about leaders production shops, specialists in lean manufacturing, process engineers, technologists and operators to work with various equipment.

"The layer of mature engineers that is currently on the market for the most part do not have the skills and knowledge that correspond to the regularly updated international standards production. Process control concepts are periodically updated at the global level,” she commented on the situation.

Firstly, Abylkhozhina noted, production workshop specialists must speak foreign languages ​​(mainly English) in order to understand equipment instructions, adaptation trainings from global offices of international manufacturing companies and communicate with head offices. She added that only a small part of narrow specialists with extensive and high-quality work experience in production speaks English at the required level.

Secondly, the main task of production engineers is to introduce innovative tools and best practices into production processes. According to the recruiter's observations, Kazakhstani specialists with rich work experience have the above skills and competencies rather weakly. The reason for this is the lack of relevant experience in performing such tasks in many local and a number of small foreign companies.

“I would also note gaps in domestic technical education. Often the knowledge that is given at universities does not correlate with realities production processes operating at enterprises," she said.

According to Abylkhozhina, wage specialists with the necessary set of knowledge and competencies, depending on the level of the position held, varies from 200 thousand tenge to 500 thousand tenge.

And here is the data of the recruiting portal headhunter for October 2015 show that the lowest competition was observed in such professions: consulting, marketing, advertising and PR, insurance, as well as installation and service.

In addition, the least of all Kazakhstanis look for work in sports clubs and beauty salons. In all of these areas, competition is up to five people per seat.

"The average minimum number of people applying for one vacancy in these industries is two to three people. This suggests that it is more difficult for such employers to find an employee. At the same time, the number of vacancies slightly exceeds the number of resumes," the company commented.

Availability of vacancies in some industries also depends on seasonal factors. For example, for working personnel, autumn is a less active period, since most of the repair and construction works planned for spring and summer periods. That is why in October the activity of representatives of this sector on the market decreased.

At the same time, a different situation is observed in marketing, advertising and PR. As specified in the company, in October 2015 the number of such vacancies in the domestic labor market increased. In this connection, the gap between the number of resumes and vacancies has become smaller. However, competition in this area remains low.

The highest competition is for the position of a lawyer. This is stated in a study conducted by analysts of the career portal rabota.ua. They assessed the number of responses to the most popular rubrics over the past 5 years. This is the average number of resumes or resume letters that an employer receives for a posted job. We can say that this is the number of competitors in the struggle for the desired position.

The role in the popularity of lawyers was played by the prestige of this work among the parents of applicants, the expectation from it as a highly paid and prestigious specialty. Yes, and the higher education market "hurried", releasing lawyers literally in batches. For a few more years, the specialty of jurisprudence in various forms was absent only in "lazy" universities. But the quality of education of such specialists left much to be desired. Perhaps that is why, even in stable years, many young lawyers could not find work in their specialty.

And now the number of young lawyers out of work has become even greater. They are accompanied by guardian specialists, reduced from those businesses where there is less legal work - contracts with contractors and clients, litigation, etc. In addition, many employers hire lawyers on a part-time or "piece-rate" basis, or even outsource legal support to the company. This is probably the main reason that over the past 5 years, lawyers have topped the ranking of the most competitive vacancies.

In addition to lawyers, the top three include top managers and administrative staff. It is clear that there have always been significantly more applicants for leadership positions, or rather, those wishing to take the places of chiefs, than the positions themselves. 2014 and 2013 were marked by both a reduction in the number of top teams of some companies in the fight for budget cuts for salaries, and a trend for the owners of some businesses to return to operational management.

This is the kind of career start that doesn't require the sales skills that many simply shy away from. And just a universal job - administrative staff is needed in every company. Perhaps for this reason, last year the number of responses to a vacancy in the field of administrative personnel was a record - for all 5 years of the study.
