Is it possible to get a good job without cronyism? Blame work. Work by patronage Leading work only by pull

I live in a rather small town, where almost everyone knows each other and where, in principle, there is little good work. Since our city is a port city, the most “yielding” places are related to the ports. But getting a job there is not easy. The fact is that the “place” in each of the three institutions is betrayed almost by inheritance. And if you do not have relatives or close acquaintances who have already been “honored” to work in the port, you will most likely never be able to get into it. No, of course, there are happy exceptions - the so-called people "from the street", but among my acquaintances, not one was so lucky. Why am I writing all this? I want to talk about whether it's okay to hire only people you know?

Is it good or bad to take your own?

It turns out that even in the modern world, almost 20% of all applicants are sure that the key to building a successful career is dating and connections. In principle, I absolutely agree with this statement, but I do not want to admit that this is the case.

To be honest, I got my current position through an acquaintance. I literally called a classmate who had been working successfully for several years and was gaining connections among accountants, and asked if she knew any company that needed a specialist. By a happy coincidence, just from the company where she worked, a girl was leaving on maternity leave and I was called to her place. Yes, they looked at me with an unkind look, because as it turned out, the employee who was a little less close to the management also had a daughter with an accounting education and he was waiting for the moment when my predecessor left her post in order to offer his candidacy. Not wait.

In fact, I still can’t decide how I feel about getting a job “by pull”. On the one hand, I am categorically against it, because I know several negative examples at once, when such acquaintances of acquaintances received positions that they do not correspond to and that they did not deserve. And normal, knowledgeable, literate, but having no connections, remained with nothing.

It may not sound very good, but on the other hand, when it comes to me personally or people close to me, I look at “blat” much more positively. Yes, I will be glad if I get my next position through an acquaintance. That kind of duplicity is awful, isn't it?

What's good about blat?

Of course, employment by acquaintance has many advantages for each of the parties involved in the process: for the person who recommends, for his protégé, and for the employer himself. It seems to me that it is the employee who comes to work on the basis of pull that receives the greatest benefits:

Actually the workplace itself, for which you did not have to compete with anyone and waste your nerves;

A certain loyalty from the authorities. I am convinced that people who come "from the street" are looked at much longer and are not so quickly accepted into their team. Although I want to say that I have not received any additional loyalty bonus from my current management;

Quite often, the recommendation of an employee who is trusted by the authorities provides the incoming employee with a slightly higher salary than similar specialists. This is especially true of some high-ranking acquaintances. A friend of mine had a case when she was recommended for one place by her distant relative - part-time friend of the general director of a large enterprise. In this situation, a girl without any work experience was immediately taken to a good salary. In principle, I can cite myself as an example (although I don’t have the same scale as my friend, but still). When I first came to my current position, my salary was the highest among my classmates, forced to start their careers from the bottom;

An employee who gets a job through connections can count on help not only in work, but also in adapting to a new team. Most likely, such an employee will be told about any nuances of his position, they will tell you how to establish relationships with other employees, and so on. In general, arranging an acquaintance, a person much faster accumulates the useful information he needs, which can subsequently play a positive role in his entire career.

Again, I’ll say to myself (something today I myself am that negative example that I oppose): when I came to this place of work, I didn’t know anything about the accounting area with which I would have to work. The colleague who recommended me understood this very well, but she was not afraid to get in touch with an almost complete beginner. Everything was told and shown to me. I was given enough time to understand the subject. For this I am extremely grateful.

Of course, not only the employee himself, who gets a job through an acquaintance, receives his own advantages from this. There are benefits for the employer as well. Take at least the moment that he no longer needs to look for staff. And I, as a part-time personnel officer, know that finding a good employee is quite difficult. Moreover, not all employers are ready to trust their company to a person from the street. This is especially true for positions that have a lot of responsibility or, more seriously, confidentiality. In such a situation, the recommendation of a trusted person who has already proven that he can be trusted will come in handy.

By the way, knowledgeable people see a specific difference between employment through acquaintances and through connections. In the first case, nothing supernatural is promised to the future employee, the process of finding a job is simply somewhat facilitated. And by pull, a "warm place" is guaranteed, and, as a rule, positions are offered in state structures. But for me, to be honest, these concepts are similar. Of course, if we are not talking about a stupid girl who was appointed as the deputy of her own dad and who does not understand anything about future activities. Although it is possible, in such a situation, knowledge from her is not required.

Negative aspects of employment by acquaintance

Naturally, like everything in this world, employment by acquaintance has its negative sides:

Friendship breaks down. Just imagine the situation: the head of a small company decided to do a good deed and took a close friend as his deputy. He took it, but soon realized that a friend simply did not pull the duties assigned to him. What to do? It seems like you don’t want to fire a loved one - you’ll ruin your friendship, and it’s pointless to continue working like this - you can harm your business;

dissatisfaction with the rest of the team. Let's be honest: few people love those who managed to get a job through an acquaintance. Here I do not like, for example. Only I am such a person that I am unlikely to express my dissatisfaction with the current situation, but not everyone is like me. I am sure that a “criminal” worker can incur the wrath of others simply by his presence. And working in a team where you are not loved is quite difficult, probably;

Broken relationship with the guarantor. For someone who advises hiring a person, there can also be negative consequences. Unfortunately, none of us can be 100% sure of the competence and personal qualities of the other, which means that we run the risk of offering an employee who simply cannot handle this job. And how to fire such a thug? Again, no one wants to spoil relations with those who advised him. And how will the guarantor himself feel, realizing that the business is now collapsing because of him?

Prove you are worthy

As I already wrote, sometimes the rest of the team treats a person who has come through an acquaintance rather unfriendly and with distrust. It often seemed to me that the workers were waiting for some kind of mistake from me, for which they could later complain to the authorities. Once they even waited, about which they did not fail to inform the management. I directly felt this negative attitude, but in principle, I did nothing about it. It turns out that there are several rules at once that should be followed by everyone settled by acquaintance:

You should never use your position to achieve personal goals. Believe me, others already know that you came to this place without any merit, so do not give them a reason to doubt their own competence. Always observe the discipline established at the enterprise, even if the authorities allow you to go to work every other day and start working in the afternoon;

Be sure to observe the chain of command with the leadership and do not allow the appearance of a reason for gossip. I also advise you not to tell those employees who are not aware of your situation about your friendly and good relations with the administration;

If you have already noticed that they are whispering about you, immediately stop any conversations;

If you can’t manage to establish relations with the team, or even worse - a conflict situation has arisen, try to resolve it yourself. In no case do not contact the authorities with a problem!

Prove to everyone that you are in this position for a reason. That you have enough knowledge and skills to complete any task;

If you see that despite your privileged position, some colleagues are definitely drawn to you and want to get to know you better, by no means avoid this opportunity;

Become an indispensable employee, thereby proving that even "thieves" can be taken not only for beautiful eyes.

So to take or not to take "thieves"?

Because of all of the above, experts advise you to think twice before hiring someone on the recommendation. In some situations, it is much more profitable, more convenient and more reasonable to arrange a competition, for example, as a result of which a really worthy candidate will take the place. Or test everyone who wants to work in this position, regardless of whether he is an acquaintance of your dad / brother / friend / matchmaker or just came from an ad in a newspaper.

All the same employment specialists still advise not to give up the opportunity to get a job through an acquaintance. You just need not to blindly go to the proposed place, but more or less objectively assess whether you fit the vacancy, whether you have enough knowledge and skills, whether you will definitely not let down the one who put in a word for you. Be sure to think about these questions, because your future career depends on the answers to them.

I finally decided to change jobs and I already had one opportunity to do so. And if I got to this place, my dream would come true. The employment there is interesting, and the accounting section is my favorite, in which I feel like a fish in water, and the salary, I will not dissemble, is simply wonderful. But it didn't work out...

Do you know why it didn't work out? Because my friend was taken to this place (the city is small - spit and you will end up with a friend), who turned out to be a close friend of someone from the administration. And it would be nice if this friend knew at least something about what she would have to face. She doesn't know anything at all! Why am I so sure? Because she has already turned to me for help, and you know how it happens: it becomes clear that a person does not understand anything just from his questions.

It's a shame? Very. So that's a good acquaintance crossed out my dream. Perhaps, of course, I once crossed out someone's dream in the same way ...

How do you feel about getting a job? Did you get the job yourself? What are the pros and cons of this?

For some reason, many people are biased towards finding a job with the help of relatives and friends. It is believed that blat during employment will not bring anything good either to the one who applies for a vacant position, or to the one who puts a “good person” in a “warm place”. Indeed, some difficulties may arise. For example, it is often difficult for a "thieves" newcomer to join the team. The inhabitants of the office may suspect that the employee got to work not at all due to his professional qualities, but only because of family ties with his superiors. Those who help relatives find work also often experience fears: what if the person you recommended turns out to be incompetent, and then you will certainly be accused of nepotism. And it is not always easy to fire an objectionable relative - this can negatively affect family relationships. But, despite these fears, employment by acquaintance has many advantages. For example, if the applicant has no work experience, it can be difficult to find a good job without connections. In addition, by connecting relatives to the search for a place, in addition to your resume, you get good recommendations. Perhaps, other things being equal, it is the guarantee of your friend that will play a key role, and the choice will be made in your favor.

Anyone who hires a loved one receives a loyal and reliable employee as a reward for his kindness - who else can you rely on in difficult times, if not a friend or relative?

In general, recruitment has both advantages and disadvantages. And to do so in order to get only the pros and avoid the cons, it is entirely in your power.

Who are you from?

The correct line of conduct primarily depends on the position held by the patron and protégé.

Chief - subordinate. If fate gave you a leadership position, try to objectively evaluate the efforts expended by your protégé and adequately evaluate them. Even if the business situation requires additional labor costs, you should not think that all of them should fall on the shoulders of your friend or relative. If you are acting as a subordinate, do not try to get any privileges due to family ties with the boss. Observe subordination, do not make family or friendly relations with the boss visible to the team - familiarity is inappropriate in the presence of strangers!

The mentor is a trainee. This situation is typical if yesterday's student gets a job under patronage. Then the one who found a place for a former schoolboy often becomes his teacher. If you are acting as a mentor, your task is to teach your protégé to work, and not to protect him from the hardships and hardships of office life. Therefore, do not hesitate to load the beginner with work and do not be lazy to give him the necessary explanations. Then soon from an inept trainee you will get a full-fledged employee. If you're a newbie with no experience, don't try to force your mentor to do all your work, don't blame them for mistakes, and don't be afraid to ask questions!

Equal partners. Family relationships at work are often very useful when the business is just starting to build and outsiders do not have much faith in success. Who, if not a close person, is able to work with full dedication for a long time, to be sympathetic to the need to spend evenings, and sometimes weekends at work? However, there is a danger that the boundary between kinship and industrial relations will gradually begin to blur. And then office disagreements can affect friendships or family ties. So try to be more conscious about family conflicts. Ask yourself: what is really causing your dissatisfaction? Maybe it's better to discuss it during the workshop? Just don't get personal. Close people know each other's strengths and weaknesses better than others. You do not need to use your knowledge to solve work issues.

Alla Reid, singer:

I'm good at blatant work. In my opinion, it is no secret to anyone that everything always happens through friendship and good acquaintances, that is, through connections. There is nothing criminal in this.

Employment "acquaintance". Blat or professional connections.

So, "employment by acquaintance" happens:

1. When we know about the business qualities of the candidate and invite him to work based on professionalism.

2. When we do not know anything about the professional qualities of the candidate. And we invite him to work on the basis of personal relationships.

Let's explore these options in more detail.

1. When we know about the professional qualities of the candidate.

1.1. The candidate used to work with someone from the decision maker. For example, the leader brings his team. Or a valuable specialist "from a past life" is invited to a vacant vacancy. Why is it beneficial? The manager clearly understands the employee’s capabilities, manageability, professional qualities, and most importantly: they usually take only those who were professionally satisfied with them to their team, i.e. highly productive and efficient people. The employer does not make any assumptions, he knows how this person works, what he can do, what he does well, what his “weak points” and areas of development are. There are risks here too: primarily in the team. Frequent confrontations between the "old" and "new" teams. For example, if a new leader comes to the unit and brings his people, in the absence of properly structured work and the leader’s attention to embedding new “own” people in the team, you can have big losses.

1.2. The candidate worked / is working for a counterparty - a supplier, client, partner, competitor, etc. - Part of his professional qualities is known and this part suits the employer. There are risks here too, because only one side of the coin is understandable, but it is the side that is turned outward that is visible. Thus, the employer understands how this person will work, for example, with clients, and this is important. It is not clear how much he is a team player, how he behaves in a team, but in any case it is more reliable than a person about whom nothing is known at all.

1.3. Recommendations of professionals. The candidate's employer does not personally know, has not seen, but the professional recommendations of people whom the employer trusts confirm the candidate's qualifications. The risks are that the understanding of professionalism by the recommenders and the employer may not coincide. In addition, very little is known about the personal qualities of the candidate, and also very subjective. But a professional recommendation from people who have earned trust is also a lot. Especially if there is reason to assume that the coordinate system is common.

2. When we do not know anything about the professional qualities of the candidate.

2.1. As a rule, these are relatives, friends, relatives of friends, friends of relatives, friends of friends, countrymen, etc. people about whom we know that this person is “good”, “one of us”.

What does the employer hope for in this case? Due to the lack of understanding of qualifications and business qualities (more precisely, professional qualities when hiring are not only not known, but also not taken into account), there are expectations for loyalty. And a certain trust (especially relatives). When hiring a relative, we expect that he will not deceive, will not "throw", will observe the interests of the company, or his protector, will not harm, steal from his own, will endure if difficult times come, he can be trusted, etc. Here it is necessary to make a reservation that in practice, expectations of high loyalty are far from always justified, but this does not prevent the employer from having such expectations.

This type is very common in family businesses. Especially among diasporas, where family ties are very strong. In Russia, there are several large holding structures built precisely on this principle. There are a lot of companies built on this principle in the republics of the UK.

Of the minuses: despite the expectations of high loyalty, the professional qualities of the candidate are completely unknown, and if you are not lucky, then it is quite difficult to get rid of such an employee, because. resentment, personal relationships and a damaged relationship with the recommender are mixed in. It is also difficult to encourage him to change, because. criticism can be associated with an aggravation of personal relationships. In addition, it should be mentioned that the leader is responsible for his protégé, and in case of failure, he will have to answer for him. It is also important to mention that when hiring such candidates, there is a high risk of “hazing”, familiarity, etc., which spoils the microclimate and causes a stir among other employees. As well as other negative consequences, such as a decrease in normal competition within the company and, as a result, a decrease in performance efficiency, a decrease in motivation for development, and the emergence of risks of abuse.

2.2. In a separate group, one can single out the employment of people who are persistently recommended by people who are difficult to refuse. Recommended, for example, by powerful patrons. Here, the expected plus of high loyalty with unknown professionalism is absent and the employer acquires a completely “dark horse”. This is probably the most unprofitable option for the employer, and it is most suitable for the classic interpretation of “blat”.

It is pointless to write about the minuses, because. they are in everything.

Thus, it can be noted that employment "acquaintance" when it comes to the admission of a candidate on the basis of professional competencies- it is rather beneficial for the employer and his business, because comparing with the open market, where we do not know anything about the candidate, here we have more information. True, the “genius” that accidentally ran through will remain overboard. A new person is both a resource and a risk. And if the involvement of employees whose capabilities are well known is a risk reduction, then there will be no surprises from the side of resources. True, most businessmen prefer predicted results to surprises))))).

Hiring people on the basis of personal relationships, without regard to professional opportunities, may be justified only in some types of business, but involves a number of complexities that need to be managed and is acceptable in only certain types of companies. Definitely slows down the efficiency, because. loyalty without knowledge, skills and abilities (and the probability that a “good person” will turn out to be a good worker, like in that joke about a dinosaur and a blonde ...). For the employer, the benefit is not obvious. It all depends on the type of business. And of course, the risks associated with possible abuse are very high.

Well, the problem remained uncovered: And what about those who do not have the opportunity to get a job “by acquaintance”? Young professionals, professionals who do not work with clients and contractors and do not have the opportunity to be recommended in this way, candidates who were not able to transfer with the “team”. It should be immediately noted that the

a) For the future, consider the development of connections as a task. Do not throw away business cards, do not lose touch with colleagues, especially since with the advent of social networks it is very easy.

b) Acquaintances and recommendations - this is just one tool for finding a job, albeit an effective one, if it doesn’t work out today, there are still many tools. Due to the lack of a corkscrew, you can open it with a screwdriver, and even with a fork)))). Most of the market is still open.

c) A huge number of commercial companies do not accept recruitment on principle 2 (personal connections). And there, almost the entire set is carried out only from the free market.

d) Organizations that thrive in Type 2 recruiting (personal connections) are known, understandable, and specific structures. Maybe it makes sense to bypass them.

Well, a personal opinion at the end)). In my opinion, hiring relatives and friends, and any candidates on the basis of a non-professional recommendation, is categorically unacceptable. For the sole reason that my recommendation is my responsibility. It turns out that I bear additional responsibility for the quality of this person's work. Moreover, if it is not worthy, I will also have problems with how to tell him about it. And even bigger problems with dismissal, if the case is completely neglected. You lose a friend, you quarrel with your family, and there's no point in working.

However, I do know a few family owned companies that are doing quite well. What is the secret - I do not know. Perhaps dear accomplices will help to understand?

Relatively recently, one respected sociological agency did a survey of Ukrainians on how they look for work, and it turned out that about 85% are looking for work through friends or acquaintances. Most likely, this is what happens. In life, it was necessary to accept and fire people in different ways, and therefore it is quite possible to agree with the opinion of people regarding the search for a job. But why is this happening? It cannot be said that this is a scientific study, but it is worth saying a few words why hiring by acquaintance is so popular in Ukraine ...

There are several reasons for this.

Everyone understands that in a resume people try to embellish themselves, and even more so their labor successes. There is nothing surprising or wrong in this. Everyone does it. But some Ukrainians are so fond of this embellishment that it is difficult to assess the applicant's qualifications at all. Because if you read individual resumes for the job of a bank teller, you might think that the applicant had previously worked at least as a top bank manager.

Very often we have a position and functional human responsibilities do not match. It happens that in order to increase the salary of a good specialist, they make a managerial position for him, such as the head of a department or the head of a sector. In reality, he is not a leader, because he has no one subordinate to him, he himself is subordinate to a direct superior. And after reading the resume of such a pseudo boss, you can simply make a mistake in the selection of personnel. And it's good if he at the interview frankly admits that he has no managerial experience. But there are times when a person deliberately keeps silent about this fact, and when you take him to the position of even a small boss, problems start out of the blue.

We have a lot of staffing and recruiting agencies. But finding a good recruitment agency is even more difficult than finding a good specialist. If you need specialists in simple professions such as a cashier, loan officer or accountant, then recruitment agencies can really help here. But if a specialist needs a more complex qualification, which involves the ability to make decisions independently, then recruitment agencies are of little help. History knows such a case: some very respected people decided to hire a mid-level specialist through a cool recruiting agency. Indeed, such a specialist was found, all the tests were carried out and interviews but in the end, with great difficulty, these respected people withstood the found specialist for three months of probation and flatly refused to sign a permanent contract with him. And then he sued them for another six months for lost profits and moral damage, referring to an agreement with a recruiting agency. It is difficult to say who is more to blame for the miscalculation, but after that, respected people bypass all sorts of recruiting agencies.

Always before hiring a person, they strive to learn more about him from other people. But our system of letters of recommendation is not suitable for this. Very often, these letters of recommendation do not allow you to find out anything, and it seems that they are all carbon copies. Therefore, most often you give preference to a candidate if a familiar person can tell you about this person. And in this case, unreasonable praise and excessive admiration cannot be avoided. But in general, some information about the applicant can be obtained. One very smart person said: "If you know the weaknesses of this person - hire him without problems - you know the most important thing about him, and the rest does not matter." Maybe he's right. All people have flaws, and there is nothing worse than dealing with a person about whom nothing definite can be said, and it is not known what can be expected from him.

Whatever they say there, but an ideal option if there is an opportunity to look at a person while working in the same place. Then both the weak and strong sides of a person are visible, and no resume is needed anymore. The best option is if the applicant has been working in a team for many years, starting from lower positions. In this case, you understand what can be expected from this person, what can be entrusted to him, and what should never be entrusted.

Those who are looking for work think that it is difficult to find a job. Those who hire, suffer even more when looking for the right specialist. The problem is eternal

”(Protection work) - although these words sound like a curse to someone, for the majority in our country, acquaintance work is an absolutely normal phenomenon. This has both pluses and minuses. The main thing is to understand what can be used for the benefit of oneself and others, and what should be avoided and beware.

Those who want to find a job through blat first of all need to understand that acquaintances can help in finding employment, but they will not be decisive in the future. Relationships play only a starting role, especially important at the beginning of labor activity, however, further success will depend entirely on the professionalism of the employee. If, after getting a good position through an acquaintance, you do not meet the professional requirements, then sooner or later you will still be forced to leave.

In most cases, protégés are young professionals. When applying for a job, one of the key conditions is seniority and work experience. Therefore, it is no secret that it is very difficult for young graduates to find a job where they can take an inexperienced person, but with knowledge only in theoretical terms.

Also, people who decide to change their profession and change jobs face the situation of employment through blat. And of course, already here the main factor is not only the lack of experience, but also the document on education. Also, any life situation, such as moving, downsizing, etc. can be the reason that pushed to find a job through friends.

Protection work can be beneficial not only to those who are looking for it, employers may also be interested in hiring a person on a recommendation for a number of reasons.

There are times when the mistake of hiring an incompetent specialist can cost a company a lot. Therefore, quite often, as lawyers, financiers, accountants, people are hired for whom someone who is reliable and trusted for the employer, the one whom he trusts, is entrusted. If a place is vacated at an enterprise, the manager sometimes resorts to the patronage of his employees who have already proven themselves in one position or another, because, as a rule, good personnel are unlikely to recommend a bad specialist.

The search for a new employee takes some time, and it is not a fact that during the interview process it will be possible to find a worthy candidate. This means that management will have to spend money and, again, time on training a new employee, especially if this is a candidate for a high position. Therefore, management is unlikely to refuse if they recommend a specialist who is responsible and knows his job well.

It can also be beneficial to provide a job seeker with patronage if you need to hire an employee who knows how to work in a team and can find a common language with the whole team. Therefore, the employer, being confident in the restraint of the protégé, his ability to get along with people, will prefer him. However, in this case, the manager must be confident not only in the newcomer, but also in how the team will accept him. After all, it is often those who are hired by pull that have friction with colleagues. Some even fall under severe psychological pressure ( what is mobbing). Such an attitude towards “thieves” and some other reasons are a good reason not to look for acquaintance work. Such reasons include shyness and fear of responsibility, because “in case of failure, the blame can directly or indirectly fall on the one who arranged you,” the applicants explain.

Of course, for someone to get a job through connections is shameful and unacceptable. People who are accustomed to achieving everything only by their own efforts do not want their merits to be attributed to advantageous kinship or any other personal connections. However, finding work through friends You can also prove yourself well and prove your professionalism.

Despite the fact that some people have a negative attitude towards employees who have got a job through blasphemy and would not have become employed in this way, the results of a survey conducted by the Headhunter Internet portal show that this method of finding a job is quite widespread in society.

The main reason to hire your person is trust. When hiring his relative or acquaintance, the leader understands that in his person he acquires a faithful assistant and comrade-in-arms. It’s easier to explain something to “one’s own” or to entrust something. Therefore, it is always easier for a "thieves" newcomer to get up to speed. Almost any employer, if a high position is vacated in his company, will put a close person in it in order to always have a person at hand who can be completely trusted and who can always be relied on. The applicant, in turn, receives a guarantee that, in any case, he will be provided with a job. He will feel more confident and protected, feeling the patronage of his superiors. This is with regard to the pluses, however, there are also minuses in the work of blat.

If you got a job by pull (by patronage, by kinship, by recommendation, through acquaintances - whatever you like, but the meaning is the same), be prepared for difficulties. It only at first glance may seem that being a protégé is convenient and easy, but in reality everything turns out to be the opposite.

Rules for a protégé

The main unpleasant moment for a worker through connections can be the distrust of colleagues. Perhaps you took the place of a fired employee with whom everyone had a good relationship, or maybe you were put in charge of watching the rest, who knows. The reason for displeasure may be banal envy or resentment, someone who went through the "seven circles of hell" to get a job in this company may not like that positions are obtained so easily, without interviews and probationary period.

In order to become a full-fledged part of the team and win its trust, an employee who has a job job by acquaintance these rules must be observed:

• Do not use your "privileged" position with the head for personal gain. Come to work on time, don't leave early, don't do other things during working hours, etc.
• Don't give co-workers a reason to gossip. Do not publicly demonstrate your good relationship with your superiors or with the person who recommended you, and even more so do not talk about them. Observe subordination!
• If such conversations are still being conducted and it is in your power to stop them, then do it.
• If the team does not make contact, do not immediately run and complain to the authorities, try to resolve the problem yourself.
• Show that you are no less worthy of this work than others, but do it emphatically respectfully.
• If your colleagues themselves show a desire to communicate with you, you should not close yourself off from this communication, however, if something does not suit you, without provoking a conflict, try to calmly discuss these points.
• Become an indispensable employee. A very common opinion about "criminal workers" is that he is unlikely to know how, but they took him only because of kinship or for beautiful eyes. Prove your professionalism.
• And most importantly, remember that the difficulties in the team in first day at a new job, if you were hired by acquaintance, they always arise, but if this does not frighten you, then in a fairly short period of time you will be able to correct the situation.

Protector Rules

Probably the main and only thing that a person recommending his friend or relative should take into account is his professionalism. Recommending unsuitable professionals is at least unreasonable. Since all responsibility for the activities of the protégé before the employer always falls on the shoulders of the recommender. Of course, you can also recommend a person without experience, but this should be said first of all.

Someone fundamentally does not ask relatives and friends for help in finding a job, even if they really need it. I think it's stupid. If there is an opportunity, why not use it?! Of course, here it is necessary to take into account some nuances (responsibility, payment for the service, etc.), but there is definitely nothing shameful in this.

What should be done by those who believe that work on the basis of blasphemy is not for him or who does not have blasphemy and for whom there is no one to vouch for? How to find a job? There is a misconception that one cannot get into the highest paid, best and most prestigious places without blat. This is an erroneous opinion. Today, the demand for good specialists is great, and if you are such, then you will not need acquaintances to find a decent job.
