Text C. Classified Ads So, You Are Looking for a Job WHAT MUST YOU BEGIN WITH? There are several traditional ways of looking for a job. A civilized and active means of looking for a job is studying the market of the offered vacancies to get an idea of necessary demands and size up your own chances. The best way of doing this is to use the help of employment agencies or to independently study the ads of job opportunities being published. Announcements of job opportunities can be read in different printed publications. But which of them is worth reacting to? Don't put much trust in ads in the yellow press. Solid companies place ads in prestigious expensive publications with a firm reputation. Your main task is to understand whether the position being offered is consistent with the levels of your skills, education, and experience in work. The structure of job opportunities ads is usually the same: the name of the vacant position, the list of the candidate's professional duties, the demands made of the candidate, and the system of compensations and benefits. Ads are often published by employment agencies on behalf of their clients. The address of the office is usually not given — it is suggested that the resume should be sent to a P.O. box or else faxed. Having carefully studied the demands and duties being offered, an experienced reader may extract information on the activities of the company and the prospects of its development. The phrases often used about "successful work over many years in the Russian market", "New missions being opened", etc., really testify to the company's dependability, serious prospects for its growth, and the durability of its stay in Russia. First, one must pay attention to the position. To grasp what lurks behind the position's English name, there is a need to visualize at least in general outline the personnel structure at Western companies. For instance one may be misled by the incorrect interpretation of the word "Assistant". There is a need to understand that this word does not at all imply secretarial functions. A more exact meaning of this word is: mate, aid, apprentice manager, high-class specialist capable of independently tackling the tasks set to him. Therefore using all possible means, try to learn as much as possible about this position to prepare yourself as best as possible for a meeting with the employer. Carefully read the demands made of the given position. The demand to know a foreign language is very important. In most cases there is a need for free command of the language — Fluent English. Free command implies an ability freely to deal with a foreign manager, competently to compile documents and speak on the phone. This demand may prove to be the most important. Quite often the ads do not decipher other demands in detail. For example, the ability to type in Russian/Latin. According to international standards, an adequate level of typewriting is a speed of 60 words per minute. Therefore, when claiming the given position, you need to check your speed or bring it up to the required level. Besides, a secretary is usually required to be able to work on a personal computer. In general, if the ads meticulously enumerate the software products, systems, languages, etc., which the candidate must necessarily know, remember that these demands have a strictly binding force. Such special demands set the level of the candidate's indispensable qualifications. Thus, you have decided to find a job: buy "Moscow News" and carefully study the ads given by employment agencies. Now you will be faced with the labor-consuming procedure of writing and circulating your resume.
