Where do Russians get information: on the internet or on TV?
From students to retirees. Anyone can get a new profession today
According to opinion polls, half of Russians are ready to quit their old jobs and do something new right now, especially if the lockdown takes time. But the desire to succeed is still not enough, it is also necessary to understand the modern realities of the job market and to have the appropriate professional training. & Nbsp;
Opportunities to change jobs were discussed at a panel discussion in Khabarovsk, which took place at Pacific State University. The discussion brought together human resources specialists from Tomsk State University (TSU), Alena Vladimirskaya's career lab and creative communication agency Blacklight. & Nbsp;
The world is changing
“Our world is changing dramatically today, & mdash; endorsed by Certified Business Consultant and Personal Growth Coach Evgenia Popova … & mdash; At the World Economic Forum, it was said that a modern 50-60 year old will change jobs 6-7 times. In fact, we will constantly transform our skills and learn throughout our lives. This is no longer the story our moms and dads had. & # 39;
This transformation of the labor market becomes more visible over time. Not only individual professions, but also previously important skills are becoming a thing of the past. In their place are new skills, strategies and working philosophy. Trades are appearing in the market that very few people have heard of until recently. Companies are ready to provide these employees with comfortable conditions and a convenient schedule in order to obtain a truly competent and wanted employee.
“ There is a growing demand for digital experts: marketers, data analysts, IT specialists, & mdash; declares the head of career practice at the Alena Vladimirskaya career laboratory; Anna Alfimova … & mdash; Employers have become much more comfortable accepting a hybrid work format or even telecommuting. E-commerce is developing rapidly from all kinds of angles: delivery, online education … More and more marketplaces are appearing not only in the B2C segment, but also in the B2B. Growing areas require more and more experts with appropriate expertise. ”

At the same time, the geographical borders are erased, it becomes easier to find career opportunities without being tied to a territorial location. As a result, potential employees raise the bar and become more selective. In fact, we can already talk about the emerging market of job seekers in Russia. & Nbsp;
“ There are many more who have admitted that work does not bring satisfaction and have decided to change profession, & mdash; Alfimova continues. & mdash; There has been such a reassessment of values, in which the financial reward has taken a back seat. This is especially true for those in leadership positions and in high paying positions. At the same time, the industries that exist through face-to-face interaction with the consumer are at risk: the whole event sphere, restaurants, hotels. & Nbsp;
Professional training and retraining & nbsp;
How to find oneself in this new and changing world? The main secret & mdash; in a good education. Experts do not deny the importance of a solid foundation in the form of a degree from a prestigious university, but there are also more flexible forms of professional training. For example, additional training available today as part of the national project 'Demographics' employment promotion project. Its operation was described using the example of TSU, which became the federal operator of the project.
“ In 2021, the budget for the project was €. About 10 billion rubles, & mdash; note t TSU representative, certified professional in project management according to the international standard IPMA Tatyana Grigorieva … & mdash; The purpose of & mdash; provide opportunities to upgrade qualifications, acquire additional knowledge and skills in order to promote employment of the population. The educational programs of the project cover a wide range of specialties: management and finance, IT, education, health, sport and regional tourism. There is also a pool of programs aimed at developing entrepreneurial skills. & # 39; & # 39; women with preschool children and mothers on maternity leave. A new category will be added to them in 2022: young people.
“ To enter the project, you need to register on the & bdquo; Work in Russia & quot ;, provide a set of documents for your category and undergo training, after receiving a document on education at the end, & mdash; explains Grigorieva. & mdash; The result is the employment or creation of your own individual entrepreneur. It can also result in the safeguarding of the current workplace. If we remember the 50+ and pre-retirement categories, then this question is very relevant to them, as their skills in an evolving production process are somewhat behind, and they have the opportunity to put them up to date. & # 39;
Further training becomes the norm and a mandatory minimum for all those who wish to receive the most interesting job offers, agrees Anna Alfimova. According to his observations, candidates with knowledge and experience in more than one area benefit from the greatest attention from employers.
“ But it must be remembered that the benefits of short refresher courses are quickly depreciated due to the poor training of people's expectations and the lack of planning for this training, given existing experience and demands new staff of the company, & # 39; & mdash; warns the expert.
Both retirees and students & nbsp;
Of those who choose further training, not only age specialists, but also yesterday's students. After studying for four or six years in college, in real production, or in business, they are often faced with the need to study in addition to specific relevant skills that they do not have could not acquire in college due to conservative higher education programs.
“ The most important thing & # 39; & # 39; don't be afraid to learn new things and change jobs, & mdash; encouraged meeting participants, Evgeny Popov. & mdash; We are living in a very well-nourished era, which probably never happened, and the likelihood of staying on the streets is already very low. Our brain tries to keep us safe, it says: & bdquo; Sit in your hole and keep your head down & ldquo ;. But you have to understand that all your fears & mdash; these are internal barriers that have no real basis. Therefore, now no one has the right to work in an unloved job, to do what they don't like. We absolutely have to look around, grow above ourselves, and overcome all obstacles.
Federal project “ Promotion of employment '' allows you to get a new specialty for free, and you can choose from over 50 modern and popular professions including design, IT, HR, accounting, marketing, and many more. After the training, participants receive employment assistance. You can find out more about the project at https://tgu-dpo.ru/.

Molecules capable of destroying superbugs have been created in Russia
Russian scientists have synthesized molecules capable of destroying antibiotic-resistant superbugs. This was reported on the website of the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics (ITEB) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Representatives of the Institute & nbsp; reported that amyloidogenic peptides created by Russian scientists are able to destroy Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It causes inflammation in people with weak immune defenses.
Antimicrobial peptides are molecules made up of several amino acid residues. They can be synthesized in the laboratory and are also made by various organisms to protect against pathogens. ITEB RAS pointed out that bacterial resistance to such compounds develops more slowly compared to conventional antibiotics.
As a result, the experts synthesized four peptides from the sequence of the ribosomal protein S1 of P aeruginosa. Later, scientists favored the one with the strongest antimicrobial effects. They result from the interaction of a peptide and a target protein inside the cell, explains project leader Oksana Galzitskaya.
“ As a result, this leads to a disruption of the biological function of the bacterial ribosomal protein S1, & # 39; & # 39; she added.
According to experts, the results obtained can be used to create a new type of antibacterial drugs.
Earlier it was reported that a group of scientists from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich have discovered new beneficial properties of green tea.
Scientists have discovered new health benefits of green tea
A group of scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich studied the properties of green tea, the research results are published in the journal Aging.
Researchers in Zurich have carefully studied how catechins (substances that slow down the aging process) act on the nematode worm C. elegans. Scientists have come to the paradoxical conclusion that the polyphenols in green tea do not suppress oxidative stress, but, on the contrary, contribute to it. & Nbsp;
Professor Michael Ristow explained that these are not antioxidants, but prooxidants. They improve the body's ability to defend itself, much like a vaccine. It should be noted that a short-term surge in oxidative stress allows the body to adapt to this harmful process by improving the protective abilities of cells.
The researchers concluded that catechins prolonged the life and improved the physical condition of nematodes. At the same time, scientists have noted that exactly green tea is worth drinking, since useful prooxidants are destroyed in the dark. & Nbsp;
Previously, scientists have proven the benefits of black tea for vascular disease. The study authors suggest that the use of tea may be recommended in tumor radiation therapy to suppress the oxidative process. Black tea, as it turned out during the study, suppressed oxidative stress in the aorta three hours before irradiation, while green tea six. & Nbsp;
