Creating a Good CV and Facing Failure
Know your roots to do an internship. It depends on what you will do. It would help if you have a good attitude than knowledge only. When you think your competence is not good as theirs, it is the gap.
“Thats feeling also happens to me. The key is just to be grateful for yourself. Focus on yourself, not another person,” said Yasser Muhammad Syaiful, Country Head ELSA, Corp, the speaker at the International Program of Communication (IPC) Workshop. The workshop title is “Workshop Internship Preparation for Global Future” Cicil.co.id feat IPC. The workshop is also in collaboration with Elsa Speak on May 5th, 2021.
On that occasions, many students were also asking some questions to sharpener their understanding. For example, Nadhira Mutia, an International Program student, asking about curriculum vitae (CV). “How to provide best evidence to our CV?”
Yasser said that it is our task to ensure HRD knows who we are. “Be honest and be articulate, give the best picture of you, put your number there. It shows your evidence and credibility,” Yasser Answer.
Yasser also emphasized the importance of extracurricular activities. “The first thing first, you have already joined in any organization. List down the organization and your role. Just list down,” said Yasser. “After it, you can describe it. You have to put your description and also your result or achievement. Describe what your role there, what your impact there,” added Yasser. By describing our role in the organization, the recruiter will know how we deal with problems and how we solve them. “They will also know the way you deal with people.”
Use Linkedin apps also can make our CV better. Linkedin already has its measurement. Make your good profile on Linkedin. Yasser said that our CV in Linkedin is the easiest way to make a good profile.
Another question was came from Baiq Muthia Maharani, “Do you have any mistake and how to handle mistake?”
Yasser said that having the mindset that making mistakes is does not matter. “This is the way I did, I just put my note. Every time I just put the list and put it on my sticky note,” Yasser said. The idea is as long as you know the mistake and you can prevent it, it’s good, and list it. “It’s okay to make a mistake, just apologize, and you can find how to improve it.”
In the last session, Yasser reminds us that all we have is to gain these four mindsets: know why, be a new you, total action, and evaluation. If you have none of these four mindsets, you will not be motivated to do your best.
