Instructions

The social teacher communicates between the pupil and social protection services, maintains contact with the child’s parents through correspondence, visits them, conducts personal conversations and organizes parent-teacher meetings.

The purpose of the teacher’s activity is to identify the causes of social disorientation in children. The teacher provides social assistance to pupils, communicates with the family and with organizations for the employment of teenagers, and provides them with housing, benefits and pensions.

Practice helps the student practically test his strength, learn to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during his studies. Practice must be continuous throughout your university studies. Its goal is to prepare a young specialist for independent work.

In the first year, the student gets acquainted with various types of social and pedagogical institutions, their activities, job responsibilities and personal qualities of specialists. The practice lasts two weeks. The main places of internship are various educational institutions, such as boarding schools, orphanages, special schools, centers for medical and social rehabilitation of children, healthcare institutions, and charitable organizations.

In the second year, practice takes place in the same types of institutions, but students are already familiar with different categories of children and their problems. The internship lasts three weeks. A student is no longer an active observer; he is an assistant to a teacher or social educator.

In the third year, students learn to organize children's recreation and explore the problems of organizing children's leisure time. The internship lasts for four weeks. It is held at summer camps for children and teenagers.

Internship in the fourth year lasts five weeks. The student works not only with the child, but also with his environment, for example, family, school, peers. The internship takes place in a variety of educational institutions.

Pre-graduate internship lasts six weeks and, if possible, takes place in the institution where the student plans to further work after graduation. During this practice, the student independently performs the duties of a social teacher.

Education in the specialty “Social pedagogue”

Currently, universities continue to train future specialists in the specialty “Social educator”. In order to obtain this profession, it is necessary to undergo training according to the program provided by the educational institution. As a rule, the full period of educational preparation for this specialty is 5 years.

The following forms of training are provided: part-time, part-time, full-time and distance learning. In general, terms and education between different educational institutions vary depending on the procedures and rules established in them.

An analysis of the practice of this specialty suggests that the effectiveness of a social teacher depends on the level of training in the educational institution. The personal qualities of a specialist are also important. A social teacher is necessary for the category of people who require psychological support and social assistance. Therefore, for a future specialist, the following professionally important qualities are: empathy, communication skills, balance, stress resistance, self-control, and endurance.

Activities of a social teacher

A social teacher works with children and adolescents from disadvantaged families, their parents and other persons who need to protect their rights and freedoms. He works in rehabilitation centers, boarding schools, orphanages, and hospitals. The teacher works in close cooperation with the police, the juvenile affairs inspectorate, and guardianship and trusteeship authorities.

Thus, a social teacher works with those who have suffered psychological trauma as a result of violence, loss of loved ones, or illegal actions. His work with problem children and adolescents is aimed at establishing trusting contact with them, identifying their problems and providing support.

The teacher participates in resolving problem situations affecting the interests of the child, identifies his needs and develops support measures, involving the relevant authorities, for example, guardianship and trusteeship.

The specialist tries to create a comfortable psychological environment for them so that such children feel safe. Of course, a social teacher needs to have mental stability, because in his work he will have to constantly face difficulties. It is possible that children and adolescents from disadvantaged families have mental disorders and developmental disabilities. Their behavior may be antisocial in nature, and therefore needs to be adjusted and adapted. The teacher’s task is to provide assistance using knowledge and experience in the field of education, training and personal development. A social educator needs the ability to listen and understand, empathize, and communicate with people of different categories.

The Village, with the help of experts, continues to find answers to operational questions. This time we learned how to look for a job for those who have just received a diploma or have no experience: which companies should try to get a job and what to say at an interview.

Where to look for work

Lyudmila Smolina

Director of Business Development, AVRIO Group Consulting

You should immediately separate the search for a first job by students and certified young professionals. Students, in turn, are divided into those who study full-time at the university and evening/correspondence students. Each of the above groups will have its own motive and path to finding the first job. Positioning in the labor market will also differ.

A full-time junior student is more likely to be able to find a part-time job during the summer holidays. There is no point in focusing on finding a job solely in your future specialty. For many boys and girls, it is important to work, to get a taste of adult life and how money is earned. The only exception here can be talented students specializing in IT technologies. Therefore, the most common first job options for this group may be the following: a waiter in a cafe, an employee of a fast food restaurant, a call center operator, a promoter, a courier, and the like. Future veterinarians and doctors can find work closer to their specialty. In the first case, this could be, for example, working in a stable. In the second - work as a junior orderly. Job search channels can and should be used in a variety of ways: job sites, trade union organizations of universities, relatives, friends. For example, my daughter, a student of the Faculty of Philology at St. Petersburg State University, having completed her first year, got a job during the summer holidays as a customer service specialist in a call center. This work has no direct relation to her future specialty, but it provides excellent experience in building communication with a variety of people. I found a job on my own by posting my resume on the HeadHunter website as a beginner specialist with no experience.

Senior students can try to find their first job in their specialty - as an assistant or assistant in the professions for which they are studying. For example, students of faculties with intensive study of foreign languages ​​can start working as translators, guides, and content managers of bilingual sites. In senior years, it certainly makes sense to look for a job, if not in your specialty, then at least in a related field. By the time a young specialist graduates from university, he will already have a history of specialized (or close to specialized) work experience on his resume.

Evening and part-time students can look for work in the same way as full-time students. The difference is that they usually get permanent jobs and work throughout the year.

You should actively start looking for a job in your specialty even before you receive your diploma. After graduation, a well-written resume should be posted on leading job sites and LinkedIn. Of course, it is worth using other search channels, namely contacts of relatives and friends; university employment centers can be quite effective. It is worth considering that in a corporation you can get good work experience within the framework of professional regulations, norms and standards, and a well-established corporate culture. In a small company there are more opportunities for initiative and creativity. Where to start your career is up to you to decide. The main thing is that you like the work and bring moral and material satisfaction.

Anna Chukseeva

Chief Editor of Rabota.ru

I am a supporter of the idea that the work should be more or less in your specialty, and if not, then at least in a company where you would like to work as a specialist. For example, if you are a law student and have not found a vacancy for a legal assistant, go as a secretary or courier, but to a law firm. There you will look at the world of your future specialty from the inside, make acquaintances, and, if possible, become a legal assistant.

When choosing, you should not rely on quick money; it is better to gain experience and recommendations if you strategically still want to work in your specialty. Make a list of companies that might be interested in you and look for any opportunity to get to know them: internships, open days, job fairs. It might be worth taking a free internship, gaining experience, and then applying for vacancies. Look for any connections between you and the business: a diploma on a related topic, teachers at the university, interest in the topic.

It’s also worth asking your friends if they can recommend you somewhere. The main thing is your proactivity: pester HR managers and curators in a good way and ask them to take you on. Justify your desire with your interest in the company and business. Of course, the day before you will need to properly collect information about the company on the Internet.

Evgeniy Karyuk

executive director of the marketing agency "Biplan"

It’s better not to delay your employment, but to immediately start working with the sparkling eyes of a graduate. This approach will help you quickly join the team, because you will have a pronounced interest in specialized information. Experts love to share their knowledge, especially if the interlocutor considers their opinion to be an expert.
Choose large companies that are ready to load you with a large amount of work and a variety of projects.

It will be difficult at first, but such experience will help you quickly grow stronger and gain business connections. Interaction with serious specialists guarantees rapid professional growth and also stimulates new exploits and achievements. There is no need to chase career growth, especially at first. Feel the atmosphere of a big company and accumulate useful information that will help you climb the career ladder in the future.

What to say at an interview

Yulia Meshcheryakova

Head of HR Department at FM Logistic

Marina Shvoeva

HR Director BBDO Group

Irina Antonenko

head of the personnel selection group at the recruitment agency "Unity"

To please HR during an interview, you need to not only try to be as open and honest as possible, but also convince the interlocutor that you really want to work in this company in this position and you have all the necessary personal qualities for this. No need to worry: just talk about what sets you apart from other candidates and makes you the best candidate for the company. Preliminarily collect information about the company, about what you will have to do in this position - this will make it much easier to build a constructive dialogue with HR.

The fact that the student has no work experience forces recruiters to turn to theoretical issues. Therefore, say, a novice marketer simply needs to know what SWOT analysis is.

As for income, students often have illusions about the amount of salary they can expect, and, as a rule, set expectations for the amount that specialists with three or five years of work experience are guided by. That is why we advise you to objectively assess your cost, it is a competitive advantage for students, and also remember that the first few years of work are the acquisition of invaluable knowledge, skills and experience for a future brilliant career.

What to count on

Inna Alekseeva

CEO PR Partner

At the PR Partner agency, many of our specialists started with internships. It is important to take this seriously and show your best side from the very first days. 20–30% of the guys who showed enthusiasm, proactivity and good abilities in the profession remain on our team. Even if there are no vacancies yet, a talented and active person will be remembered and invited to work later.

If the university specialization is interesting and satisfactory, it is better to look for a job in the profession. If not, you can start with related ones. For example, we have employees with historical, philological or general humanities education. If the specialty is completely far from your real interests, then an internship will help identify your abilities and the right direction for your career.

The speed of career growth depends more on the internal organization of the staff and the promotion system, and not on the size of the company. But an internship or work experience in a well-known organization in the market will definitely be noticed by a new employer and will add weight when choosing your candidacy. So look for opportunities to work with leaders in your niche.

Anna Vovk

General Director of the National Distribution Company, Head
and co-owner of a consulting company
"A-Consult"

Having entered the university, already in my first year I got a job as an assistant manager at the Russian-Venezuelan company Rosinter. It was a large company with a network of divisions, which did not stop me from going through a career path from secretary to key account manager during my five years as a student. I left there having accepted the offer to open and head a centralized warehouse for several large entertainment establishments in Moscow and a trade and purchasing center on this base. And this is right after graduation! Career growth is obvious.

There are opportunities to grow quickly in different companies; we cannot say that such conditions are only in small companies. But what is really important is to start working as early as possible. I got my first job at the age of 14 - as a maid in a real estate agency that rented out apartments for short-term guests of the capital. I went to the other end of the city to buy clean linen, carried all the dirty belongings on myself, handed them over, and took clean ones. Then I went to one or two addresses a day, cleaning everything and changing sets. Sometimes pleasant guests came across - they gave generous tips, while others left behind only a heap of dirt and nothing more. All this taught me to respect my own and other people’s work, not to be afraid of work, and to be able to masterfully calculate and distribute temporary resources.

Where can students look for work and part-time work? Where can you work in the summer? What options are there for students to work from home via the Internet? How to avoid running into scammers? We have prepared 30 options for you for all occasions.

Employees of the HR portal website calculated how many students combine study with work, and this figure is impressive - 70%! In this article we will talk about work for students.

I myself am a student and work, like many of my friends. It is unrealistic to survive on a scholarship - at my university the standard monthly payment is set at 1,800 rubles (if you study without "Cs"). What can you buy with this amount? Just enough food for a week and a half and that’s it.

In order to somehow stay afloat, many students are forced to combine work with study. Of course, some people get help from their parents, but admit it – it’s better to start earning a living on your own as early as possible. Many people are faced with work during their student years, and this experience becomes a good support in the future or even develops into an entire career! In addition, there is no guarantee that you will be hired to work in your specialty (the banal reason is no work experience).

Fortunately, today you can find work from home or online. There is no need to search in vain for advertisements in newspapers - you can use the Internet and find any job you like. Today I, a third year student, will tell you:

• What job is most popular among young people and what is in demand?
• How much money can you get as a student?
• Is it difficult to combine work and study?
• Why do I prefer remote work?

Get ready - you will find stories from my life, stories of my student friends and a lot of useful information that will be a good help if you are looking for a job!

Remote work from home/office vs on-site work. What's better? Advantages and disadvantages

All the work that I discuss below can be divided into two types:

• Traditional (offline) work(in the office, food outlets, enterprises, and so on). The process looks like this: we look for a job in all available ways, send a resume, go through an interview, perhaps sign some documents, for example an employment contract (be careful here! Read more in the “Fraud Warning” section). Usually the first time is an unpaid internship (several days or a week). I talk about examples of such work in the next paragraph.
• Remote (online) work. The work is connected to the Internet. Professions such as programmers, web developers, copywriters, content managers, translators, SMM specialists, etc. are in demand. But there are options for those who do not consider themselves to be in any remote profession, in other words, for unskilled workers. We are talking about one-time assignments, part-time jobs, and work on an ongoing basis. Job search is carried out on special sites. Customers (i.e. employers) place an order and wait for a response from the performers (us). Our task is to competently tell about ourselves and our works (if any), and if successful, we become executors of the order. You will also learn more about this from the article.

Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of remote work from home:

Now let's look at the pros and cons of traditional hired work:

Each of you will choose something different, based on the situation. For example, my university is located 30-60 minutes from home (a lot of time is spent on the road), so I prefer it.

Students, unfortunately, are often the target of scammers. As a bait - “tasty” job offers. As a result, a person signs a pile of documents without reading them, and ends up with nothing, since he fell for the deception of criminals. It’s good if this only leads to the loss of a couple of thousand rubles, but there are cases much worse.

Here are a few situations that I have heard about personally:

1 Some agency. Tiny rented office in a business center. Inside there are a couple of tables, chairs and... that's it. There are a lot of phones on the tables (!!!). People offer you a job with good pay, but to do this you need to sign an agreement and make a “deposit” of a couple of thousand (which will then supposedly be returned). Next is the standard phrase “we will call you back.”

The catch is that a person signs an agreement for the provision of INFORMATION services. That is, you were informed that there is such and such activity, and that’s it, their work is over, the trap will be slammed shut, you won’t see your money and there is no use in complaining to the police/courts, since you signed the agreement in a sober mind and sound mind.

2 A little-known company that produces paint. The student got a job there, he offered to work unofficially, salary 10-30$ per day. After working for a couple of days, the man got tired of the harsh conditions and unsanitary conditions, after which he turned to his boss with a request for payment. In the end, he was told that he worked unofficially, so he would not see a salary.

3 Vacancies with training. You can stumble upon a high-paying office job for everyone. When you come for an interview, you may be offered training for a fee with subsequent employment. Having completed such paid training, you will most likely not be hired anywhere, citing the fact that you showed poor results during the training.

Network marketing companies (MLM). Network companies are often hidden behind ordinary vacancies such as driver, sales manager, sales representative and the like. They engage in outright deception by posting such advertisements with one sole purpose - to lure you into their office, where they will try to lure you into their project by presenting convincing arguments. And since students are inexperienced and impressionable people, this often works. Next, they will require an initial payment from you for the products and send you to sell these super-duper products to your relatives and friends.

Thousands of such stories can be found on the Internet. Fraud continues to develop - scams are scammed by phone, on the Internet, when applying for a job, etc. Be carefull! Here are some tips to help identify fraudulent employers:

• Positions like “business partner”, “office employee” and the like do not inspire confidence. Most likely, these are scams or financial pyramids. The employer must clearly state the employee's responsibilities;
• It is suspicious if a person accepts dozens of workers of different ages and refuses no one;
• If instead of an interview you are invited to a “presentation” or “seminar” and asked to bring a friend, this is most likely a financial pyramid or network marketing;
• Read what you sign carefully!
• Never pledge documents;
• Do they offer paid courses before hiring? This is an obvious deception.
• Read reviews about the company on the Internet. If there are too many negative ones, it’s better to ignore the vacancy.
• I talked in detail about searching for work on the Internet on job boards in this article:. In short, it is better to avoid message boards and give preference to proven sites for making money (see reviews).
• Do not make financial contributions before working on the Internet!
• Job vacancies that come to you personally by email, provided that you have not submitted a resume, are most likely scam mailings.

Personally, I was deceived 2 times on the Internet. The first time the customer got the job and blocked me on Skype, that is, he disappeared without paying. The second time, I played an investment game and invested 2000-3000 rubles (this is a normal amount for a student), and soon the site closed.

For each method, I will provide brief information - about the average working time, salary per hour/shift/day, frequency of payments, whether paperwork is required, health certificates, and so on. When describing, I rely on my experience and stories of friends. It is impossible to name the exact payment, since it will differ in different regions, but I will give the figures that are relevant in Vladivostok.

I take vacancies from VKontakte groups, the topic of which is work for students. As for me, this is the most suitable “niche” for such an activity, because I, like other students, spend a lot of time on social networks, and most likely I will start looking for vacancies there rather than on special sites. But you can also look at vacancies here:

Method 1. Work at food points (baristas)

• Schedule: free / shift
• Average salary: 110 rub./hour (payment once a month)
• Official employment: not necessary
• Yes
• Internship: unpaid, several weeks
• Experience: not needed

Barista - coffee specialist. Responsibilities include the proper preparation of coffee and similar beverages. There are about a dozen such points at my university. Usually 1-3 people work there (depending on how busy the point is). Activities include preparing food (simple sandwiches or burgers from ready-made ingredients), brewing coffee, taking orders at the checkout.

Thanks to a flexible schedule, you can work at a convenient time, but your salary depends on the number of hours worked. Typically, a student can work for 4-8 hours. If you work not at a university, but in a city coffee shop, the salary will be higher, but also get ready for a more strict schedule.

I have also seen openings for summer jobs in food outlets (e.g., ice cream counter, smoothie counter).

It all depends on the weather (in the heat there will be no end to visitors, in rainy weather you are unlikely to earn anything at all), and the work is seasonal - i.e. Only suitable for summer.

Method 2. Work in fast food restaurants (KFS, McDonald's, Burger King, etc.)

• Schedule: flexible
• Average salary: 108 rub. / hour + 24 rub. / hour meals
• Official employment: Yes
• Registration of a medical record: Yes
• Internship: 1 week paid
• Experience: not needed

Working in fast food restaurants is probably one of the most popular jobs for students. And the leaders of such institutions themselves do not hide this and often focus on students in announcements. But is the work really that good?

She shared her thoughts about this work Alena Moskvitina, who works at KFC.

How is training conducted at the institution? What positions are there?

First of all, you come to the restaurant where you want to get a job and fill out a form. Already in the questionnaire itself there will be a table in which you indicate the hours at which you can work. Next is an interview with the director or deputy. Then a tour of the restaurant where they will show you everything and tell you which station you will work at.

There are the following stations:

• Assembly/checkout;
• Breading;
• Saladet (includes fries).

If you are satisfied with everything, after the excursion you will be given a referral for a medical examination. Next, your training at the station begins. You are assigned one trainer and you study for a week and at the end you pass the certification. After successfully passing the certification, your rate increases to 108 rubles / hour + 24 rubles additional payment for food (training is paid, I don’t know what the rate is) and you start working.

What can you say about the work itself?

At the beginning, the work seems varied and you like it. But over time, you realize that diversity comes down to monotonous work at one station and you quickly get tired of the workload. Sometimes you have to work for several people because there is no necessary staff.

Is it possible to combine study and work?

It was possible to combine it with studies. At any time you can go up to the director and explain that there are problems in your studies and you can be given at least two working days a week. In general, every week we fill out our capabilities, where we indicate again how many hours we can work, from what time and until what time.

Do you like this job?

This is a very good opportunity for a student to earn extra money. Work in fast food, oddly enough, is done with an emphasis on students, so they are given various concessions so that they can do both.

Method 3. Working as a waiter/administrator in cafes/restaurants

• Schedule: day, night, evening shifts of 8 hours
• Average salary: 90-120 rub./hour (payment once a month) + tips
• Registration under the contract: not necessary
• Registration of a medical record: Yes
• Internship: a few days
• Experience: desirable, but they take it without

Waiter is the most popular part-time job among students. Responsibilities include: serving guests of the establishment (taking orders, communicating), receiving and distributing dishes. The waiter also needs to monitor the cleanliness of the room, monitor the condition of cutlery, dishes, and equipment.

Well, the most important requirement: neat appearance, friendliness. Personally, I enjoy being served by a cheerful person, which lifts my mood. The work is not difficult and is suitable for all students.

Cafes and restaurants often require administrators. Their tasks are to greet guests, seat them, take phone calls, and count clients. They must also keep records and monitor the work of the hall. Also a simple job that is suitable for students.

Method 4. Promoter-consultant/poster of advertisements (my experience) + tastings

• Schedule: day shifts, 3-5 hours
• Average salary: 100-200 rub./hour
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: a day or two
• Experience: not needed

The essence of a promoter’s job is to distribute leaflets on the streets and indoors. A person should not be shy and friendly in order to distribute as much promotional material as possible. Naturally, you cannot throw it away or cheat in any other way (supervisors monitor it), otherwise you will be deprived of payment. Work usually takes place in crowded places on the street.

Another type of work is tasting. You've probably met girls in the supermarket who offer to try something (for example, 1 dumpling) and then buy the full product (a pack of dumplings). This is also a part-time job for students. Mostly they hire girls, work for 3-4 hours, pay higher than the promoter + you are in the room.

If you are shy, you can try working as a poster poster. I worked this way for one day, then changed my mind. I arrived at the office and filled out the documents. The next day I was given promotional material, about 500 business cards of a computer company offering its services. The task is to “put” 2 business cards into the front door in the entire area.

You can choose the area yourself. They gave us a map on which the path and the necessary houses were marked. BUT! You had to start from a certain place, since the “supervisor” would go from there to check your work. This created a problem for me because... the nearest stop where I disembarked was exactly the finishing point.

The work is exhausting. Instead of the stated 2-3 hours, I completed it in 4-5 hours. Your legs get tired, and the only place to grab a bite is a fast food cafe that sells shawarma. My job ended when I discovered that I had run out of promotional material. I was even happy about this

The first day was an unpaid internship. The rest of the time I would receive 500 rubles per day if I continued to work. However, the job is suitable if you have chosen the area in which you live.

Method 5. Work from student teams (guides, counselors, poutine, construction)

• Schedule: seasonal
• Average salary: 10,000-100,000 rub./season
• Registration under the contract: Yes
• Registration of a medical record: Yes
• Internship: training during the academic year
• Experience: not needed

I learned about RSO (Russian student groups) at the university, in my first year. It was boring in the dorm and I decided to watch the upcoming events, among which was the “Exhibition of Student Teams.” I went and found out that my university has 4 majors:

• Pedagogical (work as counselors in children's camps);
• Builders (work on the construction of roads, spaceports and other facilities);
• Putin (fishing and processing of fish at enterprises);
• Conductors (work as conductors on trains).

Later it turned out that there are many more directions:

• Service (service of hotels, supermarkets, restaurants, etc.);
• Medical;
• Rescue;
• Agricultural and others.

Not available at all universities (usually large federal ones). The bottom line is that you join the squad (you don’t need anything for this) and during the academic year you undergo training (lectures + practice once a week). Naturally, you will end up in a student group, so get ready for new acquaintances and a sea of ​​positive emotions. At the end of your studies, exams are held, and in the summer you can work in your field.

I chose the pedagogical direction. I didn’t think about work - I just wanted to join the new team. Unfortunately, I didn’t work in the summer. Counselors work shifts that last 21 days. During this entire period they work with children, organize events, and solve various problems. The work isn't easy, but it's fun. They pay a little - up to 15,000 rubles, if you have no problems.

Friends who work in construction received 60,000-80,000 rubles. in 2-3 months. Work at a construction site is different - some prepare materials, while others just sit in the office and deal with documents.

Friends who worked as guides received 50,000-100,000 rubles. for a couple of months of work. But I would not choose this direction, since for me this work is difficult and even to some extent dangerous (I have met violent passengers more than once).

Putina - the work is extremely difficult (constant work with fish). But they also pay well for it. Unfortunately, I don’t have any friends who worked during Putin.

Method 6. Working as a merchandiser

• Schedule: one-time part-time job (8-12 hours)
• Average salary: from 100-150 rub./hour
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: not needed

Merchandiser is a person who helps display goods in a store. That is, put food on shelves, clothes, etc. The job is simple and well paid, but be prepared for monotonous work.

I had the opportunity to work as a merchandiser at the New Yorker clothing store. Time – from 9 am to 9 pm, payment – ​​150 rubles per hour. Lunch was given 2 times for 30 minutes, you decide when. It was necessary to receive the goods, lay them out and stick tags with sizes and prices in the back room.

By the end of the day, I no longer had the strength to stand on my feet, but I managed to get 1,500 rubles, which is enough for a student. Part-time work is one-time, it doesn’t come along very often.

Method 7. Working as a courier

• Schedule: negotiable, usually part-time
• Average salary: in different ways (some pay 100 rubles for delivery, others 1000 per shift, others 7500 per month).
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: not needed
• Additional requirement: car (but not everywhere)

The essence of the work is the delivery of any goods from point A (for example, a warehouse, a pizzeria) to point B (another warehouse, a client’s home). The person is required to deliver the order on time. Additionally, they can entrust the packing of orders and relieve responsibility for the warehouse. This type of work often requires a car, but I have seen courier jobs within the same territory that do not require a car (example below).

Method 8. Working at rentals and attractions

• Schedule: day, shift
• Average salary: 500 rub/day + interest for each client
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: not needed

An amusement ride operator must be a sociable, sociable and cheerful person, because he needs to attract people. I often see vacancies for virtual reality and slot machine operators, but you can come to the park yourself and find out if there is work.

A huge plus– pay interest from the general cash for the day. That is, the more people involved, the higher the salary. And this could be 1000 or 2000 rubles per day. At the same time, the person will gain sales skills that will be useful in the future.

Minus– the work is seasonal, and earnings depend on the day of the week. On weekends (especially hot days) there are a lot of people walking around, and in rainy weather there may be no customers at all.

Another type of income is renting sports equipment, bicycles, and so on. My university has its own rental facility, where they willingly take students. Usually you need guys who understand mechanics. Here is an example of such a vacancy:

A friend of mine worked at this job for a year and managed to earn money for a motorcycle! True, he had difficulties in his studies because of this, but it didn’t come to expulsion

Method 9. Working as an operator

• Schedule: day, shift
• Average salary: from 10,000 rub./month
• Registration under the contract: Yes
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: Maybe
• Experience: not needed

An operator performs the function of an assistant in a company. He, roughly speaking, is the “link” between the company and the client. Contacts people by phone and provides assistance or offers any services. You can work from home, the main thing is to have the Internet and a good microphone.

You need excellent knowledge of your company's services, as well as politeness and tolerance, because you may come across rude people on the phone who will ruin your mood.

Method 10. Working as a photographer

• Schedule: most often free
• Average salary: different (payment may be 500 rubles per working day, or for one photo)
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: Maybe
• Experience: desirable
• Additional requirement: ability to work in Photoshop

The responsibilities of a photographer include photographing various events, objects or people. The goal is to take a cool photo that people will want to pay you for. You also need to be able to work in Photoshop to process photos.

The work is universal - you can get a job in a company on a permanent basis or be independent (offer to do a photo shoot at weddings/corporate events, and so on). Often the services of a photographer are used by ordinary people who need cool photos.

Work experience is desirable. To do this, you can take specialized courses. Here's what the photoplay website offers, for example:

But you can certainly find cheaper options or educate yourself through books and videos.

The photographer also needs to have a portfolio. It’s not difficult to top it up - offer a free (or with a minimum payment) photo session to friends or acquaintances. Here’s how, for example, at our university, they replenish their portfolio:

Method 11. Working in nightclubs

• Schedule: night, shift
• Average salary: usually from 500-1000 rubles. per night
• Registration under the contract: not necessary
• Registration of a medical record: –
• Internship: Maybe
• Experience: not required

The first thing that comes to a student’s mind after admission is the thrill of the hot parties that await him. I periodically see announcements of events in nightclubs, such as “Student Break”, “Let’s take a complete break from studying” and so on. Some students relax in this place, while others receive good money.

What vacancies are in demand for students in nightclubs:

• Cashier operator. Filling out a cash report, paying guests. Average pay is 1000 rubles/shift, experience is not required.
• Administrator. Communication with guests, meeting and seating guests, control of the hall, etc. They pay 100-150 rubles/hour
• Waiters. Receiving and issuing food, keeping tables clean. They pay from 100 rubles/hour + % + tips. You need a health certificate + experience is desirable.
• Security guards. Ensuring physical security. Usually they take athletic guys. They pay 200 rubles/hour. Training is possible.
• Svetovik is a lighting designer. Determines how best to make lighting design, prepares the appropriate equipment, and so on. Possible without experience. Typically, an internship is scheduled over several days. 800-1000 rubles per shift.
• Promoter. Responsibilities are to gather people to discos and nightclubs. Income depends on the number of attracted guests (can be 500, 1500 and higher). The nightclub also offers various goodies (free entry, drinks). You need to be able to attract people.
• Promotional models (girls). Those same beautiful girls that shine in the photos of the club. Only girls with certain parameters (height, clothing size) are suitable. Responsibilities also include the sale of alcoholic beverages to club guests. Usually they pay a percentage of sales (the more they sell, the more they receive).
• Bartender. Responsibilities: pour and carry alcoholic drinks. At the end of the shift, fill out a report. Work experience is desirable (you can take special courses), but some employers accept without it. Payment can be monthly (for example, 17,000 for 15 shifts), or hourly (for example, 100 rubles / hour) + tips.
• DJ. The person who creates a fun atmosphere in the club and is responsible for the music. Work experience is desirable. The salary is high and reaches up to 3000 rubles/shift +% of the music order.

Method 12. Working as a security guard

• Schedule: shift
• Average salary: 100 rub./hour
• Registration under the contract: Yes
• Registration of a medical record: no (but needed to protect the child care facility)
• Internship: Maybe
• Experience: not required

The security guard is responsible for ensuring security at the facility. Typically, students work as security guards in nightclubs, since it is more convenient to combine their schedule with their studies. However, if you have the opportunity to work a full shift, you can find shift vacancies.

They don't pay that much - usually 100 rubles/hour. I have seen payment even lower - 75 rubles per hour, but this, in my opinion, is not worth it. The security guard is not required to have mastery of martial arts and supernatural things - it is enough that the person is responsible, easily trained, decent, attentive, and can also resolve conflict situations.

You can undergo training, receive a rank and work on more serious facilities with increased pay.

Method 13. Working as a loader

• Schedule: one-time part-time job
• Average salary: 100-200 rub./hour
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No

Easy to understand and physically challenging work. The responsibilities of a loader include unloading/loading goods, furniture, etc. The work goes as usual - you go out with the driver, arrive at the point, and do the work.

Usually this is a one-time part-time job for 1-3 days with good pay. Suitable for students who cannot combine study with work, but have a couple of hours of free time on a certain day. The job is suitable for guys.

I also once participated in loading/unloading operations when I was a merchandiser. The work is physically difficult, you get tired quickly, but there is nothing difficult.

Method 14. Work at an academic department at a university/laboratory assistant

• Schedule: flexible
• Average salary: scholarship increase
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No

The job is suitable for students who are truly passionate about their studies. You will have to do various things - help teachers, work with documents, organize various events, and more.

Pros: the work does not require qualifications and can be easily combined with studies; you can earn the teacher’s loyalty. Of the minuses: I have to spend a lot of time at the university, the salary is low. A student is required to have good academic performance, otherwise you simply will not be hired for this job.

To get a job, you should contact the department or dean's office of the university where you are studying.

Method 15. Working on scientific projects (scholarships)

• Schedule: free
• Average salary: scholarship increase
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No

Like the previous work, it is suitable for students who love to learn. And they succeed in this matter. At our university, if a student does not have “C” grades based on the results of the session, he is awarded a scholarship:

• If the specialty is not a priority: regular scholarship is 1800 rubles, increased scholarship is 4500 rubles. (if the record book contains only “A” grades);
• If the specialty is a priority (for example, engineers): regular scholarship 2800 rubles, increased scholarship 7500 rubles.

But if you engage in scientific and social activities, you can significantly increase this amount. Here is an example of the scholarships we have:

Click to enlarge image

And this is not the limit! I've heard of students making more money this way than teachers.

What to do to get such a scholarship? Firstly, you need to study “good” and “excellent”. Secondly, actively participate in the scientific and social life of the university. To do this, you should contact teachers or student organizations that are engaged in scientific activities. If your achievements are significant, you may be awarded an additional scholarship (for the entire semester or a one-time payment).

Method 16. Working as a laborer

• Schedule: daytime (non-permanent work, usually for several days)
• Average salary: 100-200 rub./hour or from 800-1000 rub./day
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No

Quite a simple job that does not require special skills or training. Responsibilities include assisting in stores or other facilities. To drag something, move goods, help at a construction site... That’s why they say “handyman.” The work is not difficult, but monotonous.

The advantage is that it is well-paid and non-permanent. That is, if a student has a week of free time, he can earn 5,000-10,000 rubles, and then easily go about his business.

Method 17. Providing copying services to students

• Schedule: free
• Average salary: 2-4 rubles/sheet, other services at your discretion
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No

During their studies, a student often needs to print something: work reports, coursework, diplomas... And there are no printers in the hostel! Therefore, you have to use copying services at the university or in special centers in the city, but sometimes other students with the treasured equipment come to the rescue.

In our dorm there was a Chinese student who printed out a piece of paper with a price list and slipped it under the door of each dorm resident. So he promoted his services, and, as a result, I usually printed for him. Why? It’s close to the room where I live, and the prices are half as much as at the university.

Or you can get a job in a copy center at your university. Earnings will be higher, but such a schedule is often incompatible with study, since work usually takes place in the morning and afternoon:

Calculating the benefits is quite simple. We buy a good printer (for example, Pantum P2200 for 5,000 rubles), a pack of paper of 500 sheets (200-300 rubles) and promote our services in social groups. The maximum page count of this printer as stated by the seller is 15,000 pages. Without taking into account the costs of paint and sheets, when printing for 2 rubles/sheet we will receive 30,000 rubles. Of course, such figures are not achievable, but I think you can reach 5,000 rubles/month, which is a good result for a student.

Method 18. Interviewer

• Schedule: full time or free
• Average salary: 1 questionnaire 100-200 rubles
• Registration under the contract: Maybe
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: desirable

This type of income is suitable for sociable people - earnings directly depend on it. The essence of the interviewer’s job is to take a “mini-interview” from a person, conduct a survey and fill out a questionnaire. On average, they pay 100-200 rubles for one questionnaire (that is, for one person surveyed), but they can pay more.

Click to enlarge image

You need to have competent and clear speech and be able to correctly stage a conversation with a stranger. The work can take place both on the street and using the “apartment” method, i.e. you conduct a survey by walking around apartments.

Method 19. Gym administrator

• Schedule: full time work
• Average salary: 20,000 rub./month
• Registration under the contract: Maybe
• Registration of a medical record: Maybe
• Internship: No
• Experience: No

The job of a gym administrator is also suitable for people who do not play sports. Employee tasks:

• Monitoring the work of the club: interaction with coaches and other staff;
• Greeting guests and communicating with them;
• Issuance of keys;
• PC use;
• Accounting for expenses and income.

An administrator can get either a permanent job or a part-time job. And if the management is loyal, you may be allowed to use the equipment, which will be a plus for people who are involved in/want to start playing sports.

Method 20. Part-time work as a taxi driver

• Schedule: free
• Average salary: from 200 rubles/order
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No
• Additional requirement: having a car

We will not consider the full-time work of a taxi driver, but only a part-time job. There are apps on mobile phones that allow people to place a taxi order. During this time, motorists who also have the app can take this order. It turns out to be a kind of “exchange” with performers and customers

What applications are popular:

• Gett;
• Uber;
• inDriver.

Personally, I use an indriver when I need a taxi. What are the advantages - low prices, the ability to see the driver’s rating, quick response. If you have a car, you can earn extra money this way on the way from university or in your free time. Various student events that take place far from the dormitories also allow you to make money. For example, a party in a nightclub.

Being subscribed to the “Work for Students” group on VKontakte, I closely monitored vacancies, and one of them seemed interesting to me. Unfortunately, it was not possible to find this advertisement, but its content was something like this:

“We need people for part-time work, payment is 500 rubles, you are required to attend the event, details in private messages.”

I decided to answer the ad with a friend. As a result, we were all gathered in the city, put on a bus and taken to some institution where a land council was held (or something like that). All we had to do was listen to the narrator and vote, for which I don’t remember. That's all.

Afterwards we were given 500 rubles, put back on the bus and taken to the collection point. All! I don’t know how “legal” this way of earning money was, but it can be called “easy money” since I didn’t do anything.

How much can you earn - rating of ways

Above, I described in detail each way to earn money locally/in the office for students. For quick reference, I decided to put them in a table, giving approximate earnings and complexity of work:

Of course, you may see vacancies for other student jobs. Just follow vacancies on social networks or on special job sites - and you are sure to find something to your liking.

10 ways to earn money for students at home

Here we look at jobs you can do at home. For many, you will need the Internet and a computer and that’s it! No bosses, strict schedules or other problems. You decide for yourself when and with whom to work.

I chose freelancing to work from home, and I’m doing great at combining it with my studies. You can work and do homework at the same time while sitting at the computer. Of course, freelancing also has its disadvantages: inconsistent work, payment depends on the volume you complete, the possibility of fraud... But you quickly adapt to such conditions!

Method 1. Earn money on simple tasks

A simple way to make money that is suitable for beginners. Many people, including me, started working on the Internet with it.

Essence: complete simple tasks on exchanges/special sites. No skills or special courses are required for this - just a browser and Internet access. These tasks include:

Read the following, more complete articles on this topic on our website:

• Entering captcha. The work is simple but monotonous. You need to enter captchas (an image with distorted but legible text or numbers) on special service sites. On average, you can get 1-10 rubles per hour if you work without breaks. Enough to top up your mobile phone account.

Method 2. Earning money from games

As a teenager, I spent a lot of time playing video games. Over time, I learned that you can make money from them, which is what I have been successfully doing to this day. I turned my hobby into a source of income, and my work brings me pleasure and money.

You can earn money both by playing them and by doing “third-party” activities, such as website promotion, copywriting, and more. I was able to identify the following ways to make money on games:

For myself, I chose copywriting, the topic was computer games. Currently I write about games (reviews, news, articles), and am also a content manager on a gaming website. I won’t say that you can earn a lot from this - this topic is not popular in copywriting, but it is also less popular. But I don’t need this - I write with pleasure, and this is the main thing.

Method 3. Earning money from mobile applications

Almost every schoolchild and student has a cool smartphone. In addition to calls, they perform a number of functions: games, watching movies, surfing the Internet. And they can even become a tool for making money! You can earn money in the following ways:

Method 4. Earning money from comments and reviews

Another interesting and easy way to earn money is writing reviews and comments. Usually these are “mini texts” of a couple of sentences with a specific message: to praise something, express your opinion, ask a question, and so on. Comments and reviews are ordered by owners of websites and blogs for the purpose of promoting them.

Tasks for paid comments can be found on the following sites:

The point is to write a unique comment (the uniqueness of the text can be checked for free on the Text.ru service) according to customer requirements. This could be a positive comment under a video on YouTube, a review of a hotel, etc. Here is an example of the work that can be found on QComment:

Click to enlarge image

One of the advantages is good pay. As you can see in the picture, for 150 characters you will be paid 10 rubles. And these are just two lines in Microsoft Word. Let's take a closer look at the order:

Click to enlarge image

Minimum requirements, but this does not mean that the work needs to be done “to hell”. I would respect the customer and read the article he offers and ask a normal question on the topic. With this attitude, your task will definitely be accepted, and you will receive money and a rating.

What do you need for work? Literacy, ability to express thoughts, attentiveness. On QComment I was able to earn 100 rubles per hour just from comments. Not bad, isn't it? The site also has a rating system on which payment depends.

Now I’ll explain the meaning of making money from reviews. Take a look around. I have a laptop on my desk, next to it are speakers, a phone, an excellent mouse and a bunch of other things. I have used them and can tell other users about my experience. In other words, I can review these products and get paid for it!

Essence: register on a review site, post reviews and receive a reward for the text. Additionally, you receive money for each view! That is, passive income after writing a review is guaranteed.

Popular review sites:

Method 5. Earn money from surveys

Surveys are another good way for students to make money. The point is to answer a couple of questions in any area (for example, about student life) and get paid for it. Earnings depend on the duration and frequency of completing surveys.

Unfortunately, this cannot be called a permanent job - surveys do not appear as often as we would like, and their completion will take from 10 to 30 minutes a day. But this is a great way to earn a couple hundred rubles!

I talk in more detail about making money in this cool article:

Method 6. Earning money on social networks (completing tasks + content manager + making money on advertising)

Students spend time on social networks quite often. And you can also make money from this! You can do this in three ways:

You can also make money on social networks if you get a job moderator or content manager to the community. One person cannot cope with all the tasks, namely: filling the community with content (news, articles), promotion, communication with the audience, and more. Therefore, he hires people who will take on these responsibilities. Usually they pay from 1000 to 3000 per month.

Jobs can be found on the following sites:

They post vacancies from employers on the topic of freelancing, and you can apply for them. Or write a resume and wait for a response. Here, for example, is how people present themselves to Moguz:

The third, and most difficult way for students to make money on social networks is to create and maintain communities with subsequent monetization. That is, you independently come up with the topic of the group (for example, “The best films and TV series”) and lead the group. You can fill it with content yourself at first, and then, as your income grows, delegate it to people.

When the community has 500-1000 subscribers, you can try publishing advertisements. Usually it is offered by other people who want to promote their groups/services/products. You can also try using the network’s internal advertising platform - for example, like on VKontakte:

As you can see, a public page with a reach of 1 million subscribers can receive 20,000 rubles in one click! But we will take a more mundane case. For example, a group with 10,000 people can bring its owner 30,000 rubles per month.

Method 7. Providing assistance to students - homework, tests, coursework, diplomas

A common type of income among students, based on knowledge in various subjects. Sometimes I find it difficult to keep up with the amount of homework we are given, or I just don't care or need the subject. Then I turn to people who are good at this and ask them to do the task for money. I usually spend 200-500 rubles for 1 work.

If you succeed, for example, in mathematics, then your help will be useful to people in the humanities. How to promote your services? You can use social networks and post an ad in your university groups:

Click to enlarge image

Or register on special websites and help schoolchildren and students from all over the world. They are exchanges where there are customers (students who need help) and performers (in this case, it’s us). Example of such sites:

How to register as an author and see orders (using Author24 as an example). Follow the link, then click the Join button in the upper right corner:

Flaw above methods: huge competition. Especially if you are a beginner without a portfolio. Because of this, we have to reduce prices and sometimes work at a loss.

You can also get a job with an agency that has a good reputation. The competition here is definitely not terrible, but your earnings will be lower, since part of the money goes to the “boss.” Examples of such agencies:

To get a job, you need to write to the administration and offer your services. When choosing this method, you must be aware of your responsibility to students. If you complete the task incorrectly, your reputation will drop and it is unlikely that the person will contact you again. And, as you know, any “business” is built on regular customers.

Method 8. Copywriting

Copywriting refers to the following types of work:

• Informational articles like this one you are reading now;
• Short posts on social networks;

Students most often want money and experience from work. Money is needed for living, work experience is necessary for a future career. There are other goals - to survive the conscription age, to find a warm place to go on maternity leave and others, but this is secondary.

Therefore, there are essentially two strategies for where and how a student can get a job:

look for “easy” money and simple work;

look for a promising place that will give a good start to your career (sometimes it can even be free work).

It's up to you to choose the path. In this article I will talk about both options and review vacancies without experience requirements.

Finding a simple job

If you are interested in additional income, the easiest way is not to think about the future, about a career, but simply look for something that is closer to home, more convenient in terms of schedule and higher in terms of money. If you set a goal, a student without work experience can find a job in 2-3 days - this is realistic.

Every chain of cafes or restaurants has an advertisement like “Do you want to work for us? Fill out the form." In the same way, you can fill out a form on the website. In fact, this is the whole approach to finding a job for pocket money. I took the cafe as an example.

In a similar way, you can go to any job site and find entry-level vacancies.

Types of employment

The employment can be any - permanent, part-time, remote. There are also jobs with flexible hours and freelancing. Each type has its own nuances.

Permanent employment- the fastest way to gain the necessary skills and experience. There are many good vacancies. There is only one minus - you need to work all day.

Part-time and flexible hours allow the student to combine work and study. There are fewer good jobs under such conditions, but you can find them if you want.

Remote employment provide the opportunity to work from home and from any city and country. It is common in the IT field (you can program at home), journalism and some other areas. The downside is that if you don’t have experience, it will be difficult to get it, because you won’t have an experienced colleague nearby and all your questions will have to be asked to Google.

Jobs without experience requirements

To better understand where it is easier for a student to find a job, you can choose one of the popular professions. Go to any job site and choose what you like.

What to choose from:

Salesperson, Sales Manager, Account Manager, Sales Representative or Agent. There are a wild number of such vacancies. They are called differently, but the essence is the same - you need to work with clients.

Office Manager, Secretary, Assistant Manager, Office Administrator. A lot of such specialists are needed.

Trainee, assistant, intern, assistant in different industries - banks, insurance, accounting, restaurants, advertising, law, etc. A student without experience can easily get a similar internship job, since there are plenty of vacancies on the market.

Loader, storekeeper, warehouse worker, laborer and other working professions. Simple manual work, no experience required, everything is taught on the spot.

Courier. Even schoolchildren are hired for this type of work.

Driver. You need to have a license, some driving experience and your own car.

Waiter. Often you don’t need to know anything at all.

Merchandiser. A person who places goods at retail outlets “as they should” and monitors the speed of product sales.

Call center operator. It is necessary to answer stupid and smart questions from clients - they usually train on the spot.

Cook, pastry chef, culinary specialist. You need to be able to cook well.

Maid, hotel administrator, hostess.

And many many others. Among the industries you can find medicine, construction, working with children, collections, design, logistics, floristry, etc.

Summer job

Similarly, through a job site, a student can find a job for the summer: select a vacancy, call and agree on a 2 or 3 month contract. They will understand this and appreciate your honesty.

In addition to vacancies, there are many student work camps (local or on-site). This option is not the most expensive, but it is more romantic. Yes, and you can leave your parents for several weeks.

Search for a promising job

If you want to start building a career and you need experience, then it makes sense to look not for a place that will be closer to home or better in terms of money, but one that will be more interesting in terms of responsibilities and more promising in the future.

There is a step-by-step system for how a student can find a good job, and it starts with self-determination - who to be.

1. Who do you want to work with? First, it is important to choose a direction - programming, teaching, repair, banking, logistics, etc. If you can be more specific, that will be great. For example, not just banking, but securities trading. Or not just logistics, but warehouse management.

2. Career plan for 3 years. Having a plan like this in your head will make it easier for you to look for a job, evaluate employers, prepare for an interview, and pass it. Planning for the future makes life easier.

Why am I writing about three years and not another period? There are several reasons for this:

Serious vacancies often require at least three years of experience.

If you work in one field for three years and don’t jump anywhere, you can grow a lot professionally. At the same time, start earning decent money.

In three years it’s easy to acquire the necessary connections. Yes, you won’t recognize the entire industry, but some part of it can be recognized well.

A career plan may involve acquiring necessary skills, solving problems, or participating in projects. You can also set yourself a goal to get into the desired company (for example, choose an industry leader). You will add all this to your resume in the future. These achievements will sell you and you will no longer need to prove anything to anyone.

3. First job. When taking the first step, the main thing is to adequately assess your strengths and not inflate your expectations. Of course, you shouldn’t lower your expectations and self-esteem either.

The most common reason for long job searches is “I don’t know what I want.” The second is inflated expectations. Knowing little and wanting a lot is a fairly common phenomenon among young professionals. Therefore, evaluate your abilities carefully and carefully. Otherwise, you can look for a job for six months or even more.

To understand the requirements of employers and try them on yourself, study the vacancies. Find interesting offers, call, chat with an HR specialist, ask your questions. Market research will help you assess the situation correctly.

Feel free to consider starting positions. During the interview, you can discuss your growth and the employer’s expectations from you. In 6 months you can gain first experience, master the necessary skills and become productive. This is already a reason to discuss an increase in salary or position. If the negotiations do not lead to success, you can re-enter the labor market and find a better job.

And finally, about one popular difficulty.

Typical problem: no experience = no job

Yes, you can’t get into every position without experience, but there are plenty of decent jobs that you can still get a job at.

Many people care not about experience, but about your skills. Some companies are simply tired of receiving resumes from those who don’t know or know anything at all. That’s why they put up a barrier and write about experience in the requirements. Not all companies do this, but it still happens.

It is important for you to show and prove that you have the necessary skills. The designer must be able to draw, so he needs to prepare a portfolio of work. The programmer needs to show how his programs work. The chemist needs to describe his research and its results. And so on.

There are vacancies that require no experience.. You just have to want to find them. For example, it’s difficult to get a job as a designer without experience, but I found five open entry-level vacancies (it took 4 minutes).

There are many vacancies for interns, assistants and assistants available in the public domain. In a word, there is a choice.
