How to find a good job?

Lots of stu­dents grad­u­at­ing from uni­ver­sity this year must already be tor­mented by the ques­tions “How do I dodge the draft?” and “How do I find a good job?”.

My answer is this: find any job first. Bad, aver­age, low-paid or monot­o­nous: ANY job!
The whole trick is to start doing some­thing, any­thing, right away. After that, pro­vided you want to grow and learn (not the way you did at uni­ver­sity, but for real, pick­ing up skills people actu­ally need), every­thing will start to work out.

It’s like a ball of yarn: you only have to pull the loose end for it to start unwinding.

You’ll sud­denly find there’s an oppor­tu­nity here, and this guy can tell you about a job, and that one is about to start a new busi­ness and may need staff.

Don’t over­rate yourself. Ukrainian uni­ver­si­ties today teach you to pass exams, not to do any­thing useful, so don’t count on being snapped up on the spot, hands, “golden” head and all. And don’t wait for it. Go and learn to work wher­ever they’ll take you.
