Summary/Abstract: Job search acts as one of the stages of youth integration into the institute of labor. This process may be associated with the implementation of a diploma of education or occur outside of the binding to the received specialty. The results of a study on the employment of young people in Nizhny Novgorod are given. An overview of the resumes of young men and women looking for work is presented. Such aspects as the level and profile of education, mobility, desired wages, distribution of girls and boys in different spheres of economic activity are considered. Gender segmentation at the stage of job search is revealed. The most pronounced gender imbalance was found in the information and communication technology sector.
