About the Universum Talent Research
2.200educational institutions
WE HAVE CONDUCTED THE
UNIVERSUM TALENT SURVEY
FOR OVER 25 YEARS
Total number of respondents
in the survey 2016:
1.300.000+
• Created based on over 25 years of experience,
extensive research within HR, focus groups and
communication with both our clients and talent
• Global perspective - local insight
• Conducted via an online survey. The online link
was distributed via university and alumni-
networks, communities, the Universum Panel
and different local and global partners
• In order to provide our clients with reliable data
we set targets per main field of study and
educational institution/industry to reflect the
actual distribution of students and professionals.
Weighting is used to compensate for
discrepancies from the targets.
• Note that only data based on all respondents or
on all respondents within a main field of study is
weighted. Breakdowns like gender, high
achievers or other more specific target groups
are not weighted.

The Universum Career Profiles
2016 | Lebanon | All main fields of study

are future-oriented individuals who ultimately want to be managers and
leaders of groups of people in a business environment. They have no
problem starting from the bottom and learning what each rung on the ladder
is like. In fact, many Careerists consider this process imperative to being a
well-rounded leader later on in their careers. Careerists tend to be ambitious,
but are also team-oriented, so they often bring others up along with them
(riding their coattails so to speak). Careerists are also adaptable, meaning
they are not set on any one way of achieving success and will instead do
whatever they need to in order to adjust to a given situation.
are curious and creative individuals who are primarily focused on challenging
and innovative work. When searching for job opportunities, entrepreneurs
look for fast-growing companies that share their entrepreneurial spirit.
Entrepreneurs tend to be solution-focused, which means they are most
effective when there is an active problem to solve. They lean towards
leadership roles and are focused on team dynamics. Entrepreneurs can bore
quickly if they feel stagnant, which means they are always looking to lead
their team to new challenges.
are responsible and loyal individuals who are happy to take on responsibilities
for the good of the team. Their friendliness and comfort around others makes
them natural leaders, and their desire for harmony makes them excellent in
team-oriented settings. They are also very successful when taking
internships, as they find it easy to get along with whomever they are working
for. Their driver is happiness. They would like to have a stable job where they
are among nice colleagues.
are eager to search for new business opportunities and expect a competitive
compensation as well as career advancement and high future earnings. A
hunter is wired to be solution-focused, which enables him or her to provide
answers for customer problems, which is an important facet for salespeople.
Hunter personalities experience a continuous personal renewal. They are
able to show growth and project how their skill sets will most benefit an
organisation. This adaptive quality is a highly valued trait in dynamic
organisations.
want to work in organizations that value and respect their employees, while
taking an ethical stand on issues of corporate responsibility. As might be
expected, an idealist values environmental sustainability and wants to align with
companies that share the same values. Although idealists are dedicated to
causes for the greater good, they are not merely dreamers and can offer viable
solutions that often include creative experimentation. Idealists are fully capable
of envisioning a higher state while implementing and leading teams in task-
focused efforts.
tend to be “big-picture” individuals who focus primarily on the future instead of
day-to-day or historical situations. They usually (but not always) know relatively
early on in their lives that they want to have an international career and are
usually interested in building international connections. Companies that are
global in scope, or at the very least companies that have offices and/or
operations in multiple parts of the world, will be most appealing to
Internationalists. They are curious, open-minded and they value social
interaction.
are able to see the big picture in any situation, which helps them inspire both
their teams and themselves. They prefer the numerous benefits of working with
others in a team environment, rather than being a “lone-wolf”. Leaders aren’t
afraid of being responsible for situations. They see responsibility as something
to be desired and sought after. Because they understand that, their success or
failure is ultimately in their own hands. Leaders are also quite introspective; they
can look inward and assess themselves honestly and, when necessary, harshly.
Before starting their careers, leaders are often involved in various types of
organisations, and are often responsible for the founding and growth of projects.
