Profession preferences. Professional interests and their diagnostics. Downplaying your accomplishments

Professional interests of specialists are the topic of close attention of the employer in the search for a suitable employee for a qualified workplace... For example, information about your interests in the professional field will tell you whether you will work with passion, and in part, whether you will be able to cope with the tasks set. In our professional spheres and areas, dear friends, there are jobs that ensure the quality of goods or services. Some of them require people with the necessary skills, others with the necessary knowledge and skills, and still others with relevant professional knowledge and reliable professional skills, and with a pronounced interest in doing this particular job. Therefore, there are times when a particular professional interest in a candidate's resume takes on the weight of a gold bar. Remember this, please. Even if you are interested in a "simpler" job, know that informing about your interests in the professional field will always profitably distinguish your resume from among competitors who ignored the statement of such information. In the example below, we will analyze when certain professional interests in an applicant's resume attract special attention of employers who are selecting candidates to fill a vacant job.

As a result of working with this example, it will become clearer which interests are professional, which ones should definitely be written in the resume, and which ones are better to remain silent about. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the comments - we will definitely answer and help you figure it out as best as possible. Don't wave your hands. The country needs valuable personnel and, perhaps, you are one of them. Just understand the topic and tell employers about your professional interests clearly and intelligibly. Well, and to whom "in scrap", let them bury their talents in the ground and not complain that employers and clients are "indifferent" - perhaps they just mirror it own attitude to yourself and your work. Sometimes it happens.

Here's a top tip for an example.

Remember!

In order to remember and state professional interests in your resume, the most successful for the selected vacancy, forget about your benefits for a while. Make it the cornerstone of your potential client or the organization in which you want to find a job, and focus only on them. It is in your professional interests that they should see what is important, necessary and beneficial for IM now.

An example will provide a golden thread that tightly links your professional interest to a particular job or organization. Click!

Introduction.

All works are good -

Choose the taste.

V.V. Mayakovsky

Profession is a species labor activity a person who requires a certain level of knowledge, special skills, training of a person and at the same time serves as a source of income. The profession determines the position of a person in society. Choosing a profession, a person chooses not only a job, but also a way of life.In our time, it is difficult for a person to choose a profession, because the world of professions is quite diverse - specialists number more than 7 thousand professions, of which several hundred are the most in demand. Character and ability - this is the combination that most affects the choice of profession. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" - this question worries not only adolescents, but also their parents. What profession should you choose for yourself so as not to be mistaken with the choice?

Target given research work- determination of preferences in the choice of profession of modern schoolchildren of different age groups on the example of students of the MAOU Gymnasium No. 11 "Harmony".

This goal was achieved through the following tasks:

Introduce 5 main types of professions;
Identify the 10 most popular professions in Russia and Novosibirsk;
Based on the results of the survey, identify the preferences of schoolchildren of different age groups of the MAOU Gymnasium No. 11 in the choice of professions.

Object of study:modern professions.

Subject of study: preferences of 7th and 10th grade students of MAOU Gymnasium No. 11 in professional choice.

Methodological foundations of work... When processing the materials used, we proceeded from the need to analyze, compare and then generalize the data obtained during the questionnaire survey of students.

Source base. Our work is based on materials from our own sociological research held among students of the 7th and 10th grades of the MAOU Gymnasium № 11 "Harmony" (total 133 people).

In writing this work, the following editions were helpful. First of all, this is the encyclopedia for children "Choice of profession" of the publishing center "Avanta +".The book introduces the world in an interesting, objective and accessible way professional activity, allows you to look at the problem of professional self-determination as a natural stage of human development. The facts influencing the choice of profession are considered in detail.

Discusses issues of job search, employment, provides information about the labor market, tells about popular, rarest and dangerous professions... Authorsarticles - leading specialists in the field of career guidance, scientists, university professors. Book of psychologistsA.G. Gretsov and T.A. Bedareva “100 popular professions. Psychology successful career for high school students and students "is focused on professions that involve obtaining higher education, popular in modern world... It provides a description of the one hundred most popular professions.The main emphasis is placed on the professions that have recently spread and are popular among modern youth: web designer, logistics, merchandiser, marketer, advertising specialist, etc. In addition to describing professions, the book also provides psychological mechanisms for their choice.

When working on the project, information about the characteristics of various professions was drawn from electronic sources - materials from various sites on the Internet.

Practical significance... The information used in this work can be useful in social studies lessons, at class hours dedicated to the issues of choosing a profession will be of interest to everyone who faces an important life choice.

Work structure. The work consists of three parts: introduction, main part and conclusion. The work also includes a list of used literature and sources and applications with the results of measuring materials.

I. The choice of profession is your future.

BUT). Five main types of professions.

Depending on the subject of labor, all professions are divided into five types: "Man - nature", "Man - technology", "Man - man", "Man - sign systems"," Man - an artistic image ".

"Man is nature."Here the main, leading subject of labor is nature.

Professions: a livestock breeder, a livestock technician, an agronomist, a dog handler, etc. Among the professions of the "man - nature" type, one can single out the professions, the subject of which is: plant organisms, animal organisms, microorganisms. This division does not mean that a person's labor is directed only to the above-mentioned objects. Growers, for example, work in a team, use a variety of techniques, deal with issues economic assessment of their labor. But still, the main subject of attention and concerns of plant breeders is plants and their environment of existence. When choosing a profession of this type, it is very important to understand exactly how a person treats nature: as a place for rest or as a workshop, in which he is going to devote all his strength to production. And one more thing that must be taken into account when choosing these professions. The peculiarity of biological objects of labor is that they are complex, changeable (according to their internal laws), non-standard. Plants, animals and microorganisms live, grow, develop, and also get sick and die. An employee needs not only to know a lot about living organisms, but to anticipate possible changes in them. A person needs initiative and independence in solving labor problems, solicitude, and foresight.

"Man - technology"... Here the main, leading subject of labor is technical objects (machines, mechanisms), materials, types of energy.

Professions: carpenter, mechanical engineer, architect, electrician, radio mechanic, etc. Of course, the work of workers here is directed not only to technology, but still the leading subject of professional attention is the field of technical objects and their properties. When processing, transforming, moving and evaluating technical objects, the employee is required to be precise and definite in his actions. Since technical objects are always created by man himself, in the world of technology there are especially wide opportunities for innovation, invention, and technical creativity. Along with a creative approach to business in the field of technology, a high performing discipline is required from a person.

"Man - man"... Here the main, leading subject of labor is people.

Professions: doctor, teacher, psychologist, hairdresser, tour guide, manager, head of an artistic group, etc. For successful work in this type of profession, you need to learn how to establish and maintain contacts with people, understand people, understand their characteristics, and also master knowledge in the relevant field of production , science, art.

A short list of qualities that are very important in this work: sustainable good mood in the process of working with people, the need for communication, the ability to understand intentions, thoughts, moods of people, the ability to quickly understand people's relationships, the ability to find a common language with different people.

"Man - Sign Systems"... Here the main, leading subject of labor - conventional signs, numbers, codes, natural or artificial languages.

Professions: programmer, project architect, business architect, translator, draftsman, engineer, topographer, secretary-typist, etc. To work successfully in the profession, you need special abilities to mentally immerse yourself in the world of seemingly dry designations, to be distracted from the actual object properties of the surrounding world and focus on the information that these or those signs carry. When processing information in the form of conventional symbols, the tasks of control, verification, accounting, processing of information, as well as the creation of new signs, sign systems arise.

“Man is an Artistic Image”.Here the main, leading subject of labor is the artistic image, the methods of its construction.

Professions: artist, painter, musician, designer, stone carver, literary worker. One of the features of this type of profession is that a significant proportion of labor costs remain hidden from an outside observer.

B). Top 10 popular professions in Russia and Novosibirsk.

According to information taken from the encyclopedia "Choice of profession"top ten most popular professions in Russia in 2010-2011 looked like this:

1.Logistic

2. Marketer

3. Menchandiser

4.Producer

5.Realtor

6 sommelier

7. Media planner

8.Trader

9. PR manager

10. WEB profession.

Popular professions in demand for modern market trade and information services. This is in the spirit of the times and, in our opinion, promising.

In modern Russia, it is considered a highly paid job for people of the professions of the types "Man - nature" and "Man - technology". Abroad there are highly paid professions such as "Man - people", "Man - nature". This is due to the lack of specialists in these areas, high mental costs or professions that are harmful to health. There is almost no unemployment in England and Germany, so people choose professions that develop technology and teach the future generation. In Russia, unemployment is widespread, which proves high demand to the most frequently demanded professions.

If we talk about the most demanded professions in our city, then in 2012 this rating, compiled by the Research Service of the HEADHUNTER company, taking into account wages, looked like this:

1.Head of sales department ( average salary 50,000 rubles)

2.Programmer

3.Sales manager

4.Sales representative

5.Engineer

6.Economist

7.Lawyer

8 driver

9 accountant

10. Secretary (18,000 rubles).

When analyzing the figures obtained, attention is drawn to the fact that the accountants of Novosibirsk were at the very bottom of the rating, ahead of the top ten only secretaries with a proposed salary of 18,000 rubles. Even drivers in Novosibirsk earn more (24,000 rubles).

The professional choice of the residents of Novosibirsk speaks of the good development of the young promising city and the fact that the urban population keeps up with the times. Professionals engaged in trade and information spheres pay good wages for their knowledge and skills.

We assume that the tops presented above will continue to exist for another five years, as society develops, and each country is looking for something new and putting new technologies on the market.

If we talk about the attractiveness of professions among students of our Gymnasium, then the following situation is developing (see tables below):

Preferences of students in the gymnasium in the choice of profession

7 classes

10 classes

1.Entrepreneur

2.Economist

3 the rescuer

4.Lawyer

5 the psychologist

6.Programmer

7. Law enforcement officer

8.Designer

9 doctor

10 teacher

1.Entrepreneur

2.Economist

3.Lawyer

4.Programmer

5.WEB designer

6 doctor

7.Politician

8 chef

9.Ecologist

10 the rescuer

Comparing the data obtained, we can observe that the preferences in the choice of attractive professions among middle and high school students differ, although in both the number of priority entrepreneur, economist and lawyer. It is interesting that in both groups there are also professions that are classified as dangerous - a law enforcement officer and a rescuer. The profession of a programmer is also popular (in the modern world, as already noted, Information Technology occupy one of the leading places). And the profession of a teacher is present only in the list of professions of 7-graders (the lowest rating), senior students do not consider this profession as a possible one for themselves.

Comparing the data obtained, we can observe that the preferences in the choice of unattractive professions among middle and high school students also coincide - a janitor, a loader (requiring a large manual labor), salesman. The professions of educator and teacher among high school students occupy the lowest positions, apparently, the children care more about their own welfare than about the benefit to society. By the way, in the 1960s. 27% of children in our country dreamed of becoming teachers - this is the first place among all professions. By the 1980s, that number had dropped to 18.5%. 16% boys Soviet Union dreamed of becoming astronauts. 8% of girls in the USSR wanted to become ballerinas. In the top ten preferences of today's schoolchildren, as we can see, preferences are given to other professions.

Surprisingly, many professions named by students as unattractive are in great demand in our city, such as hairdressers, drivers, loaders. The market lacks trade representatives - sales managers, merchandisers, accountants and auditors. If we try to make a prediction about the possible future employment of current high school students, we can assume that they will not be left without work. In the city, you can take retraining courses in the required professions and get the necessary job.

E). Preferences of schoolchildren of different age groups MAOU Gymnasium № 11 "Harmony" in the choice of professions.

The purpose of the survey was to identify the professional preferences of schoolchildren who, in two years, will have to take the State Examination and those students who will take the Unified State Exam in a year.

The objectives of the survey were to find out how schoolchildren of different age groups of our Gymnasium relate to the world of professions, and whether they have made their professional choice. The survey involved four 7th grades - our peers (83 students) and three 10th grades (50 students). Students were asked to answer the questions of the questionnaire [Appendix 1]

What did the survey show?

The figures given in the table indicate that most of the students in the 7th and 10th grades have already chosen a profession. For higher education, students prefer universities in the city of Novosibirsk, and some want to get education abroad (Turkey, England, France, USA) or in another city (Moscow, Tomsk). Students in the 7th and 10th grades who did not choose a profession in most cases did not do it because of the difficulty of choosing from several attractive professions or because they are poorly oriented in big world professions. Most of the students have an idea of the future profession: they know the professionally important qualities for the future profession, they know where to get a profession, subject, content and working conditions and the demand for this profession in the labor market. Although knowledge about the future profession is different. As we expected, students choose professions associated primarily with information technology.

III.Conclusion.

Working on this topic, we have characterized five main types of professions, identify the 10 most popular professions in modern Russia and in the city of Novosibirsk; on the basis of the survey, we revealed the preferences of schoolchildren of different age groups of the MAOU Gymnasium No. 11 "Harmony" in the choice of professions and came to the following conclusions.

Depending on the subject of labor, all professions are divided into five types: "Man - nature", "Man - technology", "Man - man", "Man - sign systems", "Man - artistic image". And every person who thinks about the choice life path, must determine what type of profession he belongs to.

Studying the rating of the most popular professions in Russia, we learned that specialties related to trade and information services are in demand in the modern labor market. This also applies to the situation in our city.

Comparing the data obtained as a result of the survey of 7th and 10th grade students of Gymnasium No. 11, we came to the conclusion that the preferences in the choice of attractive professions among middle and high school students differ, although both have entrepreneur, economist and lawyer. It is interesting that in both groups there are also professions that are classified as dangerous - a law enforcement officer and a rescuer. The profession of a programmer is also popular. And the profession of a teacher is present only in the list of professions of 7-graders (the lowest rating), senior students do not consider this profession as a possible one for themselves.

Studying the preferences of schoolchildren of different ages in our Gymnasium in choosing unattractive professions, we also found coincidences - a janitor, a loader (requiring a lot of physical labor), a salesman. The professions of educator and teacher among senior pupils occupy the lowest positions (among 7th graders in 10th place), apparently, the guys care more about their own well-being than about the benefits of society, choosing popular and highly paid professions. Surprisingly, many professions named by students as unattractive are in great demand in our city, such as hairdressers, drivers, loaders. The market lacks trade representatives - sales managers, merchandisers, accountants and auditors. If we try to make a prediction about the possible future employment of current high school students, we can assume that they will not be left without work. In the city, you can take retraining courses in the required professions and get the necessary job.

The figures given in the tables and diagrams indicate that most of the students in the 7th and 10th grades have already chosen a profession. For higher education, students prefer universities in the city of Novosibirsk, and some want to get education abroad (Turkey, England, France, USA) or in another city (Moscow, Tomsk). Students in the 7th and 10th grades who did not choose a profession, in most cases, did not do it because of the difficulty of choosing from several attractive professions or because they are poorly oriented in the big world of professions, or maybe they hope that they will do it for them parents? Most of the students have an idea of the future profession: they know the professionally important qualities for the future profession, they know where to get a profession, subject, content and working conditions and the demand for this profession in the labor market. Although knowledge about the future profession is different.

Summing up the results of our survey, we realized that schoolchildren first of all want to get an education in their hometown, and this is probably due to the fact that they live here, their relatives and friends live here, who can help in their studies. Among 10th grade schoolchildren, the percentage of those who have decided on a profession is higher than among 7th grade students. This is due to their older age.

The conducted survey showed the relevance of the topic we chose, since some 7th grade children and even 10th grade students still have little knowledge of the world of professions and are not able to make their professional choice, they do not know themselves well.

We think that today's students' choices do not completely coincide with the real ones, and, nevertheless, the majority of the surveyed students have forecasts for their future lives, which suggests that this issue has already been thought over and is of great importance for us adolescents.

This project, in our opinion, is promising. First, it is possible to trace the dynamics of professional priorities after a year (for 10th graders) and over several years (for 7th graders). Secondly, there is an opportunity to find out the attitude towards the choice of a profession using the example of peers from the USA and Great Britain. Our foreign friends are ready to give their answers to our questions about professional interests. We believe that attention should also be paid to the issue of the role of parents in the choice of a profession by children.

Professional qualities for a resume

Professional qualities - this is how you can characterize the totality personal qualities, as well as all the skills that a person managed to acquire during his professional career. They can help you improve in the future and bring tangible benefits to your company.

Sometimes there are qualities that can be called professional only conditionally. For example, referring to them as "developed sense of humor", the applicant is unlikely to attract the attention of a recruiter. Unless a person is looking for a job as a party host - then the sense of humor can still be called professional.

Strong professional qualities for resume

striving for professional growth;
the ability to persuade;
increased efficiency;
analytical thinking.

All this will allow the recruiter to navigate and understand how to build communication with you and what qualities of yours to try to better reveal during the interview.

For example, the same lack of experience can be complemented by such qualities as result orientation and quick learning. Thus, the employer, realizing that there is no need to expect instant results from a new employee, still gets the opportunity to create from him exactly the kind of specialist that is required. If your future employer is forward-thinking, you have a good chance.

Examples of professional qualities in the resume

It must be remembered that when listing any of the professional qualities, you need to coordinate this list with the requirements that apply to the position. For example, accuracy can hardly be attributed to professional qualities and defining criteria for a candidate applying for a top manager position. But it can turn out to be a very tangible plus for the secretary position. Therefore, choosing professional quality for a resume, consider how one or another of them will be appropriate for you in your future position.

Here are several situations associated with certain professions, for which some specific qualities are required.

An example of professional qualities for a manager's resume

responsibility;
working capacity;
the ability to negotiate;
enterprise;
ability to make decisions quickly.

An example of professional qualities for an accountant's resume

diligence;
accuracy;
punctuality;
organization.

An example of professional qualities for a resume of a sales manager

the ability to find a common language with people;
oratory skills;
the ability to quickly navigate the situation;
creativity.

As you can see, the difference in professional qualities is obvious. It all depends on what vacancy you intend to apply for. But do not forget that the list of qualities should not be too long. If it contains about 10 points (or even more), then there is a high probability that your resume will be put aside: after all, the recruiter will get the feeling that you are just praising yourself. Show moderation and the recruiter will evaluate your professional qualities on the resume.

For the right choice profession, it is necessary to know the requirements that the profession imposes on a person, as well as take into account their individual psychological characteristics in order to correlate them with these requirements. For self-realization in a professional sense, the interests, inclinations and abilities of the individual are of great importance.

Interests and career choices

Any profession makes demands on interests: in some cases it is an interest in new things, in others - in practical activities, the labor process or its result .

Interest(from Latin interest - has meaning, important) - the attitude of a person to an object as to something valuable and attractive to her. In psychology, interest is understood as an active cognitive orientation of a person to a particular subject. Interest is an individual psychological feature a person, which is characterized by a selective focus on the phenomena of reality. Interest is manifested in a positive emotional response and intellectual cognitive activity. Only in the presence of these two signs can we assume that a person has this or that interest.

With regard to the choice of a profession, interests are a positive attitude towards a certain area of work, a desire for knowledge and activity in this direction. The content and nature of interests are directly related to the motives and needs of a person. The ability to show interest is associated with the characteristics of temperament: among melancholic and phlegmatic people, interests are more stable and deep. But choleric and sanguine people have broader interests. Sometimes we ask, "An interesting book?" or "An interesting movie?" However, these are incompatible phrases from the point of view of logic, since interest is not a property of a thing (a book, a movie, etc.), but a property of a person. One person may find some book interesting, while another may not. There are no uninteresting objects, there are people who are not interested in them. And the interests of different people are not the same.

Interests vary:

by content (for example, literature, music, technology, etc.);
in latitude (versatile or narrow, aimed only at one object or its side);
in depth (deep or superficial);
by duration (stable and unstable).

The importance of interests in a person's life is great: they encourage the acquisition of knowledge, broaden horizons, help to overcome difficulties and obstacles. The stability of interests is judged by a person's ability to overcome difficulties in the way of meeting these interests. For example, if a student who is fond of biology and attends a corresponding circle is faced with the need to translate a very interesting article on biology from foreign language, who does not own well, agrees to do it and fulfills, then his interest is certainly stable. Interest is formed in a real business: until you try it, you will not understand whether it is yours or not. So try to try yourself in different types activities (sports, literature, art, science) to the extent and at the level at which it is possible in school circles and sections, music schools etc.

Interests, if not developed, can soon weaken or completely fade away. With a deep and systematic study of a subject, interests are consolidated and gradually can become stable. Such interests often develop into addictions.

Propensities and choice of profession

Addiction- this is the desire to engage in a certain activity, the thirst for this activity. These are human desires, motives, needs for certain types of activity, striving not only for the result, but also for the very process of what a person does. A real inclination usually combines a steady interest in certain phenomena of reality and a steady desire to act in this direction himself. Addiction is attraction, interest in something.

We can talk about a penchant for work if a person is attracted not only by the result, but also by the process of work itself. All significant professional achievements grew out of interests that, under favorable conditions, developed into inclination. If interests are expressed by the formula “I want to know”, then inclinations are associated with the formula “I want to do”. It's one thing to be interested in books about animals, but it is quite another to find pleasure in daily work for the care of animals.

Propensities are not only manifested, but also formed in activity.

With regard to the choice of profession, the following types of inclinations are distinguished:

tendency to work with people;
tendency to work with technology;
tendency to work with conventional signs;
a penchant for working with plants and animals;
a penchant for working with artistic images.

There are many similarities between interests and inclinations, but there are also differences. You can, for example, show an interest in cinema: keep track of all movie premieres and enjoy going to the cinema, read books on film art, study the biographies of artists, but at the same time do not at all strive for activities in the field of cinema. There are many football fans who do not miss a single football match, but they themselves do not engage in physical education or sports, and do not even do morning exercises. These are precisely the cases when there is interest, but there is no inclination.

Of course, it is better to choose a profession in accordance with your stable interests and inclinations. The best option in a situation of professional choice - when interests and inclinations are coordinated with each other and complement each other. And only in the case when life professional plans are associated with interests, they talk about professional interests.

Abilities and career choices

When we try to understand and explain why different people, put by the circumstances of life in the same or approximately the same conditions, achieve different successes, we turn to the concept of "ability", believing that the difference in success can be quite satisfactorily explained by them. The same concept is used by us when we need to realize that by virtue of which some people acquire knowledge, skills and abilities faster and better than others. What are abilities?

Ability is an integral part of a person's professional fitness, closely related to interests and inclinations. Capabilities- these are the individual psychological properties of a person, on which the possibility of successful implementation of a certain type of activity depends. Abilities are not limited to a person's knowledge, skills, and abilities. They are found in the speed, depth and strength of mastering the methods and techniques of some activity and are internal mental regulators that determine the possibility of their acquisition.

Abilities cannot be innate. Only the inclinations that underlie the development of abilities can be innate. A person is not born capable of this or that activity, his abilities are formed, formed, developed in a properly organized corresponding activity during his life, under the influence of education and training. Without observing a person in activity, one cannot judge the presence or absence of his abilities. Individual abilities of a person do not yet guarantee the successful performance of complex activities. The subtle perception of form and color developed in a person does not yet make him an artist. An excellent ear for music does not in itself create a musician. For the successful mastery of any activity, a certain combination of individual, particular abilities that form a unity is necessary.

Distinguish between general mental and special abilities.

General abilities provide relative ease and productivity in mastering knowledge and carrying out various activities. General abilities are mental abilities: the criticality of the mind, its independence, depth, inquisitiveness, the speed of mental orientation, the speed of thinking. In the structure of the abilities of some people, these general qualities can be extremely pronounced, which indicates that they have versatile abilities, general abilities for a wide range various activities, specialties and occupations. People with general (mental) abilities, as a rule, quickly master new types of activities, areas of knowledge, and learn well.

Special Abilities Is a system of personality traits that help to achieve high results in any particular area of activity.

The following types of special abilities are distinguished:

educational and creative;
mathematical;
constructive and technical;
musical;
literary;
artistic and visual.

Teaching and creativity differ from each other in that the former determine the success of education and upbringing, the assimilation of knowledge, skills, skills by a person, the formation of personality traits, while others involve the creation of objects of material and spiritual culture, the production of new ideas, discoveries and works, in a word - individual creativity in various fields of human activity.

As part of mathematical skills an important role is played by mathematical memory (not memory for numbers, but memory for general schemes reasoning and evidence, on methods for solving typical problems), the ability to think logically, quickly and broadly generalization of mathematical material. People who are capable of mathematics are distinguished by the ability to grasp the order in which the elements necessary for a mathematical proof should be located. The presence of this kind of intuition is the basic element of mathematical creativity.

Structural and technical abilities include such components as observation in the field of technical devices, allowing you to see their merits and imperfections, accuracy and liveliness of spatial representations, combinatorial ability (the ability to make new combinations of certain details), technical thinking.

Musical ability make up the unity of the modal feeling, manifested in emotional perception and easy recognition of melodies, the ability to auditory presentation, musical-rhythmic feeling, absolute hearing (the ability to accurately determine the pitch), vocal abilities.

At the heart of literary ability lie creative activity and aesthetic position that combine private abilities - observation, impressionability (emotional experience of the perceived), creative imagination.

TO artistic and visual skills include the ability to correctly assess proportions and light relations, the ability to feel the expressive function of color, creative imagination, etc.

It is not difficult to notice that from the point of view of the success of mastering a specific professional activity, not only general mental and complex special abilities, but also other types of abilities are important. For example, a cutter needs an eye, and a perfumer needs a high olfactory sensitivity, and so on. A well-developed speech ability is necessary for a teacher, and communication skills are necessary for a teacher. If a person distinguishes smells well and remembers them - these are the abilities necessary for a chemist, taster, cook, etc. , constructor.

Abilities reflect the capabilities of a person, affect the degree of success and the time for mastering various types of activities. Each profession has its own specific difficulties, the so-called requirements imposed on a person by a profession. If they coincide with the personal qualities of a person, his individual psychological characteristics and capabilities, then they speak of a person's professional suitability.
