Photo: supercoolpics.com We found and asked representatives of the most unusual professions in Russia - how to get a job as a tit tester, who a “stringer” is, and what restaurant critics are paid for. The text contains links to open vacancies - hurry to respond.
Most of the strange professions will never appear on the sites - there are other ways to find these employees. Can you, for example, imagine the vacancy “astronaut”? Or "ringer"? Or “literary Negro”? No offense to anyone here, “negro” means co-author/consultant/author of books. In general, they are looking for a second Dontsova to “produce” reading material on an industrial scale.
But the unusual still appears on the site, and we have conditionally divided such professions into 3 groups.
Obsolete
A profession disappears when the result of labor ceases to be in demand. Few people now want to stuff their deceased beloved cat or buy a deer head in a gift shop. Therefore, the vacancy for “taxidermist” appears once every six months or a year. But they are looking for such a master and are even ready to teach the craft from scratch.
The vacancy for a chimney sweep in 2018 also sounds unusual. However, representatives of these professions are still required, for example, and. But their fate depends on how long the old wooden housing stock will last and whether fireplaces will be popular in cottages.
But you can say goodbye to the “stenographers” already. On April 1, 2018, this profession was officially abolished - the need to record speech by hand was replaced by computers and voice recorders. So, alas, if you see it, it will only mean a specialist in fast typing.
New
The profession of a dog sitter has emerged recently, but has great prospects - a “nanny for dogs”, who takes care of the animal while the owners are away or at work. There are about 30 vacancies for dog sitters - by the way, the job is perfect for students and high school students.
Yulia, Moscow, 3 years experience as a dog sitter:
“You don’t have to be an experienced dog handler, but you do need to have a very good understanding of dog psychology. It’s okay if the dog doesn’t love you - it’s much worse if he began to prefer you to his owners.”
All game exchanges are filled with vacancies for a computer game scriptwriter or narrative designer. But the sphere of offline entertainment is still developing. And there you can find a vacancy and.
According to Egor Lukhnev, organizer of the intellectual and entertaining game BrainBarQuiz in Dubna, the work is not easy:
“It is not enough just to be an erudite person or to have experience in writing questions for university Brain Rings. Pub quizzes have a special specificity, and we are interested not only in people who are ready to constantly work on improving the wording of tasks, but also in good players.”
Narrowly themed
One of the symbols of the Soviet era is the famous “tea with an elephant,” ordinary black long tea. Today, tea testers, the creators of new passion fruit-birch blends, are responsible for the bacchanalia of varieties with all sorts of flavoring additives.
We didn’t invent anything, here’s the open one.
Ruslan, St. Petersburg, worked as a tester for a year:
“The beautiful words “tea sommelier” describe serious work with a number of requirements for employees. Unfortunately, I had to leave the profession due to a discovered allergy to some herbs.”
Stringers are different. More often, this word refers to freelance journalists who supply the hottest “yellow” content. However, this profession can no longer be called unusual - anyone with a phone with a camera can become a stringer.
But other stringers, specialists in tensioning strings on rackets, are a piece goods. in tennis clubs or large sports stores.
Dream jobs are the name given to a whole block of professions where the quality of services needs to be assessed. These include travel bloggers or.
Maxim, restaurant critic, St. Petersburg, 5 years of experience:
“It’s somewhat similar to the work of a theater critic. It's hard to have fun when you have to simultaneously evaluate and think about how to write about it. And the food is not always to your taste.”
Moscow is a city of unlimited opportunities that attracts specialists from various industries. Not only thousands of migrant workers from neighboring countries, but also specialists flock here every year higher categories from other cities of Russia, near and far abroad countries. Work in Moscow For many of them, this is a chance to earn money and achieve a certain recognition and status. Unfortunately, lawyers, economists, managers and journalists have completely flooded the labor market, leaving only places vacant for unique specialists. Thus, representatives of rare and unusual professions have a chance of success. The British newspaper “The Sun” published a list of the most unusual and rare professions in 2011; it is not surprising that some of them exist in Russia. In the capital, as it turned out, there is considerable demand for them.
We catch trends.
Trend hunter is a unique profession for talented people who are not alien to fashion. Specialists in this field are obliged to be the first to catch the fashion trends of a given target audience eg youth or business people. This information is extremely important for manufacturers of clothing, footwear and accessories, since the information obtained is used in product development. The job of a trend hunter is to attend events, carefully observe people on the streets, and analyze fashionable images on TV and in the media.
Help for shopaholics.
Moscow is confidently taking the title of fashion capital from Milan, because fashion boutiques grow in it like mushrooms after rain. Every self-respecting brand opens its own stores and representative offices in the Russian capital. That’s why there are shoppers or stylists who select clothes, shoes and accessories for their wealthy clients to make them look fashionable and stylish. The shopper’s responsibilities include not just choosing clothes, but first reviewing and analyzing new collections of all brands of interest, selecting suitable models so that the client does not spend a lot of time looking for the right outfit. Such work is paid according to the “glamorous” status of a specialist, which means very high.
Unique Internet professions.
Some labor market experts believe that often the exotic demand for specialists in rare vacancies amazes even experienced personnel officers. So, in the capital there is a demand for work as a ski track builder in the forest on Rublyovka. Surveys of numerous headhunters and recruiters confirm that in Moscow even professional bloggers, who are called upon to create a positive image of the company, are at a premium. Another fashionable and rather exotic profession of a web gardener is a web gardener, who must clean the site of outdated links, like a gardener from weeds from the territory of the site. He is also involved in updating old pages and changing appearance site. Another unusual Internet profession is that of an ethical hacker, who hacks his own company's website in order to test and identify weaknesses in the site's security system.
Journalists without borders.
Many of us, having heard about the stringer profession, will not be able to guess that it has nothing to do with underwear. On the contrary, this is the name given to the rather serious work of journalists and freelance correspondents who most often work in extreme conditions: in places of mass unrest, natural disasters or military action. This is a profession for those who are not afraid to risk their own lives, and therefore it pays quite highly.
Aristocratic golf.
Moscow is a city of oligarchs, businessmen, politicians, movie stars, and therefore Western fashion hobbies are not alien to them. Golf is one of the most aristocratic and popular types a sport created for wealthy people. Therefore, greenkeeper vacancies are increasingly in demand in the capital. What is a greenkeeper? Literally translated – caretaker of golf courses. It is no longer respectable to trust the care of precious fields to the usual gardeners or janitors, pensioners or students, and therefore the still rare profession has become prestigious and highly paid. It is believed that for proper field care it is necessary to have deep knowledge and the ability to work with special equipment.
Let's take a look at the casino.
America has greatly influenced not only Moscow, but also the entire post-Soviet space. Thus, with the advent of casinos in the capital, professions that are unique to our country have become in demand. A pit boss, or otherwise a foreman in a casino, is not a manager or a director, but still the main overseer of the work of the croupier, the general order and the game in the gaming room. He must be distinguished by high tolerance, perseverance, thorough knowledge of all processes in the casino, and management skills.
How much is your life worth?
The work of an actuary is closely related to the insurance industry. Worth looking into insurance own life to get an “appointment” with an actuary - a specialist in assessing human life. No matter how terrible and pragmatic it may sound, his responsibilities include calculating life expectancy, analyzing all negative factors, health conditions, as well as a summary of the client’s real cost of living.
