SuperJob has identified obstacles to career growth in Russia Russians, writes Gazeta.Ru. The most common factor was the lack of a suitable vacant position – this problem was reported by every sixth respondent (17 percent).
The Russians complained that their boss “is not going to go anywhere” or that they “have nowhere to grow.” So, 15 percent of the respondents noted that they have the opportunity to be promoted, but they are not interested. This answer was often given by doctors and teachers. “We have repeatedly offered a higher position, but the working conditions there are such that no one will stay in this position,” explained one of the respondents.
In addition, programmers and builders fell into this category. SuperJob found that IT employees are more interested in salary increases than increases, and construction workers said that they are satisfied with the responsibilities in their current position. Every eleventh (9 percent) respondent believes that he does not have the knowledge or education necessary to improve his qualifications. Another 8 percent said they lacked experience and work skills.
“7 percent of the respondents are convinced that everything depends on the lack of useful connections and self-confidence. 5 percent of Russians believe that an adequate boss would contribute to their career growth, but they were not lucky with leadership. Less often respondents complained about their lack of motivation (4 percent), time (3 percent), as well as the fact that their promotion is hindered by age restrictions (2 percent), ”said SuperJob.
The remaining 10 percent of respondents complained about a lack of luck, ambition, health, arrogance, sociability and toughness. Some of the respondents named gender inequality as a barrier to career growth. The service surveyed 1,600 residents from different cities of Russia.
In November, SuperJob analysts published the results of a study on the impact of social networks on the chances of finding a job. It turned out that every fifth employer refused a job seeker because of posts on the Internet. In addition, about a quarter of companies (22 percent) monitor the internet activity of their employees.
