Knowledge is important While Attitude is Everything

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The key to do an internship is must to know our roots. Anything you want to do, anything you will feel, it depends on you. The key is on you. It would be best if you had not only knowledge but also a good attitude. 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. 

Yasser said that what makes students stand out and succeed depends on four keys to success, especially in an internship. The first is to know your ‘why.’ “Before you applying for your job or internship, know your ‘why’. After that, you need to transform into the new you,” Yasser said. 

The second is you should have to make a process of real action. Without action, Zero action will reach no goal. “Commitment to do it with discipline is also the key to success,” added him to all workshop participants. “And the last is to do evaluation. And this will motivate us as a person,” said Yasser. Evaluation makes us know what is better and what is wrong in reaching our goal. 

Emi Zulaifah, as the Vice Dean of FPSB Faculty, also shares many points with all students who will try to do an internship as international students. “I think an internship is a good thing. When doing an internship, many students will gain a different perspective and keep the spirit of learning. 

“Really, the spirit of learning you can bring it everywhere. You are still very young, the day is rising and that is you are. By internship, We are going to learn a lot,” Emi said and motivated them. 

Second, as a student of UII, it is critical to keep integrity. “You go to professional experience, you bring with the integrity. And you bring it with integrity to your internship,” Emi said.

If you want to create a leader, you should make students understand society with KKN, and you will look there is a lot of imbalance. All this kind of experience gives them ideas about the sort of problem they will face. “I think it is the same if you go to an internship, you are going to see the reality. We believe doing intership will open alot of your opportunities,” Emi said. 

Based on Ida Nuraini Dewi, program secretary of International Program at Department of Communications, UII, the student will go to internship after finishing their final defense of the undergraduate thesis.
