Most expected requirements of employers
In junior roles higher education qualification and English language skill will be the keys. Experience gained during internships is always a big advantage, therefore it is recommended to try out various roles during your studies. Both professional and other extracurricular activities can be an advantage when you strat your career. In senior roles still the educational background will be reviewed however professional experience will be much more in focus as the expereince grows. Your experience will be considered if it is relevant for the job you apply for, therefore it is recommended to keep focus in you career path. Advice: If you wish to change your specification you should take a step back and expect to continue form a more junior position again. For team leader/manager level roles people management experiec is essential. Advice: If you cannot take a step up at your current workplace it is recommended to change to a similar position at another one where they can provide an advancement in the future. It is tough to step from a senior role to leadership/ managerial level when changing companies.
