“…New economy needs new professionalshighly educated people of free professions, whom Perkin (1990) called transprofessionals at the end of the twentieth century. They are ready to work in various professional environments due to their thinking and ways of organizing activities (Avraamova & Verpakhovskaya, 2006). Nowadays, we talk more and more about multitasking, universal workers with universal knowledge, capable of retraining, re-profiling, adapting and developing throughout their lives (Sologubova, 2018).…”

The paper considers the issue of the impact of digitalization processes on mutual expectations and real prospects of future young agricultural specialists and employers in the field of the agro-industrial complex. The authors, characterizing the features of the modern stage, state that today there is another global transformation caused by the processes of digitalization. Digitalization determines trends in the labor market and sets new trends in all spheres of society, including education. Digital economy requires professionals with up-to-date knowledge and a set of universal competencies, capable of continuous development of new knowledge, skills and abilities. The analysis of the current situation leads the authors to the conclusion that digitalization, on the one hand, aggravates the existing contradictions in the labor market and educational services, and, on the other hand, gives new opportunities and prospects for selfrealization, life and professional identity of young people. The study allowed analyzing the level of the compliance of expectations of future young professionals and their potential employers. It is found out that while young people, entering the labor market, rely on high wages, comfortable working and living conditions and the prospect of career growth, employers express distrust in the quality of their professional training and the level of formation of the necessary competencies, which leads to the need for their retraining or advanced training and as a result to the increase in the costs of employers.

“…The old rules no longer apply and both corporate human resource departments as well as job applicants are finding it hard to make appropriate matches (Avraamova and Verpakhovskaia, 2007;Chang, 2004;Einhorn and Roberts, 2004;McComb, 1999). Under communism, college graduates were assured positions in government-run enterprises but with economic reform, this is no longer the case.…”

“…Further, Russian firms preferred to hire full-time employees and gave preference to managers who could perform multiple functions (Ardichvili and Dirani, 2005). Avraamova and Verpakhovskaia (2007) posited that, today, employers are setting higher standards with regard to expectations from employees and, in particular, are seeking individuals with initiative and independence, an ability to work on teams, and who are highly motivated and willing to go through retraining. Even though personnel departments recruit, hire, and are involved in training, many lack expertise and still have not developed specific standards (Grachev et al, 2006).…”

During the job application and interview process, there is a natural tendency for applicants to stress attributes that they possess and that they also believe are being sought by hiring organisations. Due to cultural differences, applicants may be unwittingly contributing to bias in personnel selection and creating unequal opportunities for themselves. This study compares the attitudes of university students in China, Russia and the USA to determine whether culture-related differences exist in the minds of these future job seekers with regard to their perceptions of the importance of specific candidate attributes to prospective employers.
