Today the idea of ‘’business education’’ is growing very fast. There are a lot of training courses and seminars that cover quite many specializations in different fields for those who want to enhance their professional and educational level. Selecting this or that training programme people try to fill the gap during student year opportunities, some people try to fix their academic knowledge with the help of practical trainings, others try look at the accumulated skills and competencies in a slightly different angle. People willing to invest their own money into further education, share a commitment to professional development and, consequently, increase the importance of their candidacy. There are different courses, trainings and seminars. When selecting we must first analyze the knowledge and skills that are necessary to obtain, correlate it with course programmes, consult with colleagues, supervisors, consider rankings of educational institutions and any other information available in the market. Every profession has its certificated and diplomas, the presence of which make the specialist not only more qualified, but also more ‘’demanded’’. Besides, the diplomas of different but complementary courses (and thus correlated with the main profession) characterize candidates as diversified individuals seeking professional and personal development.
One should not get carried away and make the process of additional education chaotic, attending different unrelated courses. Only the programmes that have become hands-on skills must be mentioned in CV, as labor is paid for rather than theoretical knowledge. During the interview the candidate must be able to clearly explain the reason why he has attended these courses, whether they were useful for him, how they helped him in his further work and life, i.e. at once it becomes clear, whether the attended seminars were just for so or or the candidate attended them consciously. In order not to overload the CV, it is necessary to mention the most significant trainings and courses for the position.
