Hello! Here everyone complains about their workplace in one way or another. I want to complain about the fact that I don't have one. I recently graduated. I graduated in Finance with the idea that this is a very serious specialty and that it will be very easy for me to find a job. For two months I have been applying like crazy for ads (I have submitted documents in over 50 places, only 3 of them called me). Can anyone answer my question: Why, since there is a HUNGER of specialists in Bulgaria, no employer is hired to hire a person without experience Where should I accumulate this internship? I don't want to work as a saleswoman or a waitress. Why did I study so much when I can't realize myself now? At times I feel like crying and pulling my hair out of helplessness. Why life in Bulgaria has become so difficult. Maybe I should move to Sofia, where unemployment is 0%, but I still hope that I will be able to realize myself in my native Plovdiv. Thanks to everyone who read my story.

Don't despair, I've also been looking for a job for almost 2 months, I'm a student, I'm studying economics, but when I apply for a job and he says that I'm studying economics part-time, instead of in my favor, it's a minus. Why should we give our money and waste our years to study and for what ... ?? And almost everywhere I want at least 2 or 3 years of experience, fuck where to have it when no one takes us, and when employers start making crazy and employment contracts do not even want to have ..
Insist, I hope you find something you are looking for :)
Go to Sofia.
Hello. I had the same problem as you. But it so happened that about a year ago I met a girl who graduated in psychology and works in a brokerage agency. She gave me a lot of advice on what a person should do, on a purely psychological basis, to convince the employer in an interview that he is the person he needs. I already have a job. If you want, write to me at [email protected] I will write you what to do.
2 months is not enough, I was looking for a job, I finished tourism for 1 year, now I have a good job in another field and I am very, very ready.
I can give you a sincere recommendation, reduce your criteria for salary, position and expectations. Keep in mind that the situation is such that the financial sector is not very stable at the moment. I recommend that you even do a little internship program somewhere, even if they don't pay you, just to show what you can do and they will look for you themselves.
And one more thing from me. Keep in mind that it is not the diploma that will take you to the employer, but the skills. There is a hunger for staff, yes, but for quality staff, keep in mind that there is no time in the hectic daily life for someone to teach you what a term deposit or savings account is and what the difference is, this is not taught in Bulgarian universities, the other is no one at university you are not taught sales skills and communications in business, this is taught in profiled qualifications, in my opinion rely on profiled courses where you will learn such things, they in addition to a degree in Finance will give you a competitive advantage. I need patience at the moment, I am training interns, they say that when they finish their internship and offer them a job, they would not start below 1000 BGN, I'm sorry, but without a day of real work experience and without the necessary knowledge there is no way.
Well, you need someone to guide you, or your colleagues who may have found a job to help you, but I'm from Sofia, do not be afraid to come here, with a little more effort you will be able to find a job, even for a while you gain experience and you can return to | Plovdiv again. And why don't you try abroad? There are much bigger opportunities there! Or if you decide to come to Sofia, take a friend and come! You are about to become more independent. I wish you success and do not be afraid of new things, in Sofia it is not so scary;)
Hi, I hope you have already found a job. If you still fail, do not despair. I was in a situation similar to yours when I graduated years ago (by the way, we are colleagues, I graduated in Finance) and I was looking for a job in a city other than Sofia. For me, however, the criterion was only work in the specialty and I failed to break through the first months. If this is the case with you, focus on the real sector - it is much more interesting, much more dynamic and better paid. I advise you and all young people who can not find a job to look for realization in small companies where they give a chance to people without professional experience, to gain experience and then shoot up. Employers look with different eyes when selecting people who have already worked somewhere and gained any experience. I do not advise you to try working in companies with high staff turnover,
Run outside, here you will only sell your work for nothing, there is no point in looking for a job, in Bulgaria they will only take advantage of you, no one will motivate you to develop, believe me, I am in the same situation!
don't despair it's not just you most people can't find a job and work whatever it is just to have some money here for example I went to western europe this year to look after children well what to do so it's easy no you know !!!
And now, with my brief comment, I will make all the above meaningless when I tell you that your mistake is to rely not on yourself, but on a piece of paper. If you have a dream from an early age to do this and you can not sleep with enthusiasm, it will come true, but if you studied it "just because of the high salary and hunger for staff" you will not be a saleswoman, but even a waitress;).
If you had studied for rarer professions such as construction, tourism, agriculture, medicine, meteorology or automotive engineering, believe me, you would have found it easier to find the profession you want and deserve. These days, everyone is already studying some kind of tax administration, accounting, finance, money, money and money. EMI DOESN'T HAPPEN. In this case, you are applying for a job that another 300 people want !!!
I'm number 13 and I work in one of the big stores of a large retail chain that everyone knows very well and buys from it every day. I can tell you that friends who paint on construction sites and work like crazy take 700, 800 leva a month, but they have no idea if they will have a job at all next month. They have no secure income. They are from object to object ... And they envy me that on the exact date they transfer the patch of BGN 500 to my debit card :). I have a permanent contract, as well as I have a food voucher of BGN 50. When we take out the discarded goods with a term expiring today or tomorrow, the stockists describe it and we eat whatever it has on its stomach: D. And the company has conditions for growth. 2, 3 of the boards have been around for several years and have started just like me. At the lowest position ... loading goods from the warehouse, arranging the shelves in the store, getting married and a bunch of other tasks :). But now they have built a name in the company and have been promoted, and rightly so. Who has a university degree, who doesn't, but they have got into things. Practice is required. A man once educated in Marketing and Management did not take it. With me, I just gave you an example to think about. It always starts from scratch :). We are a very simple nation, but a lot. Everyone listens to their simple parents and thinks that when they study for 5 years and blow their flag at the end, when they graduate, they will go directly to the office on a BGN 1,500 patch, in a cooler, in a suit and will shake their legs - Yes, but NO. Look at things on your part. If you are the owner of a business and a graduate and one who has worked in this position apply for the same position, who will you take? It is very clear to me that man, who has worked it and has habits in this direction. From what I see you only complain and you don't have any work habits and with these claims you will not achieve anything. Even if you are very smart, with a university degree - two, three do not work for you. It requires a strong push. This is from me!!! If you want, pick on it.
In Plovdiv to be realized - the probability tends to 0. Why? Because I'm from here too, only I'm 29 and I changed 3 jobs - I left every time, for one reason or another. But starting again — months without work, hope, a lot of put-offs and not a single call. But I have a non-earning income and I'm not at the bottom. You better go to Sofia - only those who don't want to work there. Good luck and head up!
native Plovdiv? I screamed at him. In his native Plovdiv it is impossible without connections. Go further!
Unfortunately, this is the case in Bulgaria. Either you are someone's, ie you have connections or you run from interview to interview like crazy and nothing. Now I have a job, but I was unemployed for almost 2 years so I know what I'm talking about. And when they hear that you have just graduated, even worse. The problem is not with you, but with the employers. It is not normal to cry that you do not have staff, and at the same time to want a person up to 30 years with 10 years of experience in the specialty (!) And if he can work are 300-400 levs! Complete madness! Yes, I know I don't help you much, but at least you know the problem isn't with you. Ask any young person and he will tell you the same. So my advice is do not despair and keep looking, and I hope you are lucky. And one more thing, if you find something that is not your specialty, do not give up. Because it's much easier to look for your dream job if you have a stable income, even though you are doing something else. I don't work in my specialty either, but it turned out that my work is not bad at all and now I even like it, nothing that I never thought to do just that. So don't be in a hurry to say no to something that is not related to your education. Nobody says that this automatically means that you will stop looking, and from every job you learn something new that may one day be useful to you. Success!
