What you need to know right now that robots are not taken away from you job

Come on, do all the professions outdated?

Not really. But this happens very quickly. Previously profession appeared every few years. Now the digital revolution brings Atlas of new professions new specialties every few months. Progress is faster than formation adapts to it. Scope of time to regroup several times, until you study it at university.

To remain in demand, monitorte future trends. according to the forecastTop 10 Digital Transformation Trends For 2020 Forbes, trends in the market will be in 2020:

• Development of 5G networks in telecommunications and an increase in internet speed.
• The analysis of big data to identify competitive advantages.
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning.
• Blokcheyn.
• Augmented Reality.
• Autonomous driving and robotics.

But I was in a good college. It's something guaranteed?

Yes, but this is not accurate. Higher education is important not because of the "scabs." It says that you - not a random person in this field, and have chosen it as a vector of development and dedicated to her a few years.

Gain knowledge and you can not have a higher education. But for the development of important communication, verbal and written. They worked well in the university. Man receives a comprehensive understanding of how to work with the new material, and displays for an information processing algorithms. The ability to learn - this is a skill that is still the institution develops best.

Much more important - how you have used the opportunity of higher education. Many people make their first business projects are already in high school, speak at conferences or go to study exchange. It's a real experience, and both times he really appreciated.

Previously, universities were factories where the student is ready "standard." Now they are more like coworking. Here you can discuss new ideas with cool people, make a joint business project to find new opportunities for training, including abroad. And teachers - rather, consultants, and not boring lecturers.

In any case the university - it is a link in your establishment, but not the entire chain. Besides studies need to take online courses on innovations in your subject, to participate in community life, to go on an internship in a company for practical experience. These tasks are personally for you, not the university.

Well, the highest average score - it's my advantage?

Not always. Different companies have their own methods of evaluation, but there are three main points.

Practical skills is more important than the average score

In case of equality of other factors a high GPA can be hook to choose you. But it is of little use without specific skills.

When selecting an internship in the "Kaspersky Lab" we are on the average score does not look at all. If a person can to code or malicious zarevorsit sample, then why do we need his GPA? And again, if he can not, then why do we need his GPA? We have a pragmatic approach, which was reflected even in the slogan: "We have no matter where you are studying, if you're going to save the world."

A bad score fizre not ruin your chances of making a career in the IT-companies

Recruiters weed out areas that they are not interested in, and enter their tests to test the candidate.

We at the entrance have their own tasks and cases, in which we see how well developed skills of the applicant. If I'm looking for a man on the technical position, I do not care what assessment he has for literature. Important to me, how he thinks in a field where we take.

Lyudmila Samoilova, CEO of the Department of HR-competency "Savings Bank"

Even if you have very bad learned, it's not the end

No one would look at a low average score, if you run your own projects, you have a cool experience, or other important achievements.

If a person says, "I'm smart," but evaluation is not confirmed, I would need other evidence. For example, a startup business project, the victory at the Olympics.

Igor Akulinin

Okay. And to whom then learn? Which profession will not soon become obsolete?

Those that develop within the framework of the new trends. For example, demand for big data analytics are specialists in artificial intelligence, software developers for business.

To be always in the trend in two ways: continuously pumped into the depths of their subject area or cover adjacent and become an expert on the intersection of disciplines. For example:

• a financial analyst who knows the psychology and behavior patterns of users;
• web designer, both versed in marketing and technical vorstke;
• threat hunter ( «catcher threats"), which monitors cyber threats in the system, taking into account business unit and environment psychology.

If you are a good geek - you need to compete at the expense of soft skills. If you are a humanitarian - Master the technical part to stand out among similar professionals. Start learning programming languages. We have a specialist in computational linguistics. He graduated from philological faculty, and later in the night he learned to code in C ++. That is, it is a techie with philological base - is the perfect combination for work he performs.

Pay attention to the saturation of the different fields of labor. For example, in the cybersecurity unemployment rate - 0% Cybersecurity Unemployment Rate Drops To Zero Percent. On the contrary: there is a shortage of millions of professionals is observed.

Hmm, it turns out, I can not be claimed, if I clean the humanities or techie?

Most likely no. Of course, if you are very talented, you will achieve everything. But in general, this division is out of date. Most companies are looking for a balance of skills, even in highly technical or humanitarian specialists.

The fact that creative professions are changing under the influence of the digital transformation and require computer skills. For example, the web designer should be able to work with a motion graphics and 3D special programs. Conversely, in the hard-specialties growing role of communications and soft skils. Business developer should be able to beautifully present your solution and to convince everyone that it is optimal.

Traditional images of professionals change: the pros - it's not moody and taciturn loner. Projects are becoming bigger, the staff often work in large teams. It has become an important communication skill - without it is impossible to negotiate with colleagues, managers and departments. At the interview, we will look at the soft skills, even when looking at the technical specialist position.

What to do if you want to open a business?

To do this! The success of your own company, too, depends on the understanding of trends and the ability to adapt to change. Startup is good because it gives the opportunity to create something new and use all their talents. But this is its complexity: you have to think not part of any particular features, but on the scale of the entire market, taking not only food, but also administrative decisions.

Our start-up dedicated to cloud gaming. We make a product with AI technology and 5G, which allows you to run the software or the game in the cloud and stream it to any device with internet. For example, it is possible to come to the park with a mobile phone and run it on any video game on the most high-end features. As an employee of a startup I do not have a specific set of tasks - everything is constantly changing. But I know that if I had not found this topic, I would have been hard to work in the company with the bureaucracy.

Vladislav Sidin, director of development startup Loudplay

There is another difficulty: to find their niche and investors. If your product does not benefit a lot of people, it will be difficult to develop it. Investors are willing to invest in new products, but to invent something innovative is extremely difficult, so many are looking for ways to improve something already existing.

What's cooler - career in a corporation or a startup?

Up to you, but one does not exclude the other. You can form an idea of ​​the business, while gaining experience in the company. Or fill the cones on their startup, and come in a corporation experienced technician. There is a third way - to develop a startup within the corporation. You just get the money to develop, but only from the company where he worked. You have the freedom of action and creativity, but also your startup will be closed if you do not shoot.

In "Kaspersky Lab" is the center of innovation where employees develop their startups. We have a number of successful solutions that have been successfully sold in the market. For example, the recently launched Kaspersky Antidron. This solution allows to protect the territory from the drone, which is important, for example, airports and industrial facilities. Another successful startup - Kaspersky Anti-cheat, which is designed to protect against cheating in eSports.
