A recent study conducted by SuperJob, commissioned by RIA Novosti, indicates that a significant portion of Russians rely on their intuition when seeking new employment opportunities. The findings reveal that while the majority of those who trusted their gut feeling had positive outcomes, approximately one in five experienced disappointment.
Based on a comprehensive survey of 1,600 respondents, the research highlights that 52% of individuals who followed their intuition during the job search process reported that it did not lead them astray. Furthermore, an impressive 12% of these individuals found that the results even surpassed their initial expectations. Conversely, 21% of the participants admitted that their reliance on intuition was misplaced, as their new workplace ultimately failed to meet their hopes or expectations.
The study broadly emphasizes the widespread practice of using intuition in the Russian job market: an overwhelming nine out of ten Russians (90%) incorporate intuitive judgment when securing new employment. This includes 42% who frequently rely on their intuition and an additional 48% who do so occasionally.
Interestingly, the inclination to trust one`s intuition is almost equally prevalent across genders, with 89% of men and 90% of women reporting that they listen to their inner voice during their job-seeking endeavors. Respondents aged between 35 and 45 years demonstrated the highest degree of confidence in their intuition, with a notable 91% within this age bracket relying on their gut feelings during their job search.
