Job Application Strategy

Bismillah



I will tell you about my experience attending a seminar held by one of the university in Malang. The seminar was titled Strategy in Applying for a Job. Here are the key points that I summarized from the seminar.


Worker Type
We can find out what type of worker we are, namely:
  1. Managerial type: the type of worker who has motives for power, influence, control, competence, managerial and leadership. This is the type of worker who wants to be a leader,
  2. Generalist type: the type of worker who has motives for professional career development and self-development. This type prefers to seek experience in many sectors to develop potential,
  3. Specialist type: the type of worker who has motives for increasing expertise, for example in the field of education,
  4. Entrepreneurial type: the type of worker who has motives for routinely changing types of work.

Curriculum Vitae or CV
Technically, a good CV is as follows:
  • A CV is written in a maximum of 2 pages, the data must be accurate and correct with good and positive language,
  • First write your name, telephone number, email, residential address, last place of education (if it is a college level, write your GPA),
  • Include a formal photo with a red background,
  • Write your skills, experience, and career history,
  • Write your organization experience,
  • Do a reading test: ask 3 colleagues to read our CV, if our colleagues are clear in reading it, it means the CV is good and ready to be used.

Written test
The keys to a successful written test are:
  1. Get enough sleep the night before the test,
  2. Have breakfast before leaving (if the test is held in the morning),
  3. Listen carefully and follow all instructions for working on the questions carefully,
  4. Think quickly, seriously, but relaxed, so that all questions can be answered well and correctly.

Appearance during the interview process
  • Clothing: simple hijab (do not wrap it around), neutral colored shirt/blazer, skirt or pants made of dark colored fabric. Clothing must be clean, not wrinkled or dull,
  • Clean leather shoes (it is better not to wear rubber or canvas/cloth shoes). Standard shoe heel 1.5 cm,
  • Nails, skin, and teeth must be clean,
  • Neat hair: for men it should be a short style, for women if the hair is long past the shoulders it should be tied neatly,
  • Use light make up, don't be too heavy,
  • Sit up straight and don't slouch
  • Look at the interviewer's face, don't look down,
  • Walk relaxed, straight and dignified, don't walk with your feet dragged.

Tips for a successful interview
  • Try not to be late
  • Good and neat appearance,
  • Give a friendly smile to the interviewer,
  • Relax and don't be too stiff/tense,
  • Focus and use effective sentences,
  • Answer all questions with confidence.

So that's all I can say, hopefully it can be a provision for those of you who are applying for a job. Thank you to the organizers of this seminar for the very useful tips and information.

Melihat Lebih Dekat Kota Blitar :)

Image
BismiLLAH, kali ini saya akan mengulas tentang mbolang saya edisi Blitar. Dengar kata Blitar pastilah yang muncul pertama kali: Makam Bung Karno. Yakk pastilah itu. Haha tidak bisa dipungkiri lagi kalau kota Blitar sudah menjadi semacam icon kota Patria karena banyak menyimpan sejarah. Bahkan setelah saya mengunjungi kota tersebut saya jadi berkesimpulan kota Blitar adalah kota sejarah kedua di Jawa Timur setelah Surabaya.  Oke lanjut, perjalanan waktu itu adalah Sabtu pagi 7 Desember 2013 pukul 8 pagi, kami berkumpul di Stasiun Kota Baru Malang. Formasi kali ini adalah: Saya, Rina, Lale, dan Lely alias Zii. Memang kami berniat ingin naik kereta karena dua orang kawan saya Lale dan Zii memang antusias banget naik kereta, secara mereka belum pernah. Kalau saya udah pernah naik kereta, ingat kan postingan saya sebelumnya edisi Banyuwangi? Yak, jadilah ke Blitar dengan naik kereta api ini menjadi pengalaman ke dua bagi saya. Oke, sebelum kami sampai ke stasiun di angkot, saya, Zi...

Unforgettable Experience: Gua Cina, Bajulmati Beach (South Malang)

Image
Bismillah This time I will tell you about my trip to the beach in South Malang after failing to go to this beach before (you can see the story here). That day, Thursday, May 16th, 2013, I and 6 of my friends rented a car and we left Malang City at 8 am. Our first destination was Gua Cina Beach, and the second was Bajul Mati Beach. Both are beach tourism areas that have not been visited by many tourists because of their remote locations. Gua Cina Beach After traveling for approximately 2 hours on the highway, we arrived at the intersection of the entrance road where Gua Cina Beach is located. The road conditions are rocky so it has not been paved, but it is not as bad as the road we took before, namely from the direction of Balekambang. After about 10 minutes, we finally arrived at Gua Cina Beach. There are no words that can be said except to praise God for the beauty of His creation. Masya Allah, this beach is extraordinarily beautiful, both the coral, the water, the waves, the sand, e...

Trik Tetap Syar'i dengan Hijab yang Tipis

Image
Bismillah, kali ini saya akan membahas tentang apa yang marak terjadi di kampus-kampus, kali ini kembali tentang hijab atau penutup kepala muslimah. Hmm berdasarkan yang saya amati selama jadi mahasiswa, hijab ini menjadi idola dan banyak diminati, tau kan? yak Hijab Paris! Dengan kain yang tidak terlalu tebal sehingga pemakainya merasa dingin dan tidak gerah dan juga harga yang murah tentu sangat pas dalam kehidupan mahasiswa. Tapi coba deh kita telisik lagi, apakah sudah benar dan tepat keputusan kita itu? Cekidot.. Ga bisa dipungkiri kalau wanita itu apalagi sobat-sobat muslimah yang wajib menutup kepalanya akan terasa nyaman jika memakai hijab yang tidak tebal, tapi coba pikir lagi apakah lantas kita harus memilih panasnya didunia dibanding panasnya api neraka? Just FYI panasnya api neraka itu kalau dibandingkan dengan api dunia hadehh ga ada apa-apanya deh. Jadi akan sangat bijak kalau kita lebih menghindari panasnya api neraka dengan memperbaiki cara berhijab kita. So,...
