Untuk Menjadi profesional, kita harus bisa menentukan menjadi generalis atau spesialis. Meskipun beberapa orang ada yang memilih menjadi generalis, bisa melakukan segala, tetapi sebaiknya menekuni bidang spesiaisasimu bisa menjadi arah sejak menjadi mahasiswa. Spesialisasi bidang kajian dan keahlian akan sangat menentukan ketika kamu memasuki dunia kerja profesional.

“Ada di dunia kerja itu ada yang dia milih jadi palugada, apa lu mau gue ada. Semua yang diminta, aku bisa. Atau kalau misal mau spesialis, ya sejak awal protofoio kamu itu mengarah ke spesialisasi yang mau kamu tuju,” ujar Nasuha Ali, copywriter di Edutech Zenius Education, pada bincang-bincang Teatime, Jumat, 27 Agustus 2021.

Lewat saluran tayangan langsung Instagram Live, Nasuha bercerita bagaimana ia mengawali karir dan berjibaku dengan rivalitas di dunia profesional. “Anak-anak komunikasi itu kan suka berkarya, nah karya dan portofolio ini yang jadi modal kamu menghadapi persaingan. Justru yang sudah punya pengalaman lebih banyak. Ada yang sudah punya pengalaman minimal satu hingga dua tahun, gimana fresh graduate bisa bersaing?,” papar Nasuha Ali, yang juga adalah alumni Komunikasi UII. “Ya perbanyak karya dan pengalaman project, bisa penelitian dengan dosen, program dengan teman, dan lain sebagainya. Pengalaman itulah yang menjadi daya saing kita dengan orang-orang profesional berpengalaman satu dua tahun itu,” katanya memberi saran.

Menurutnya, kegiatan kampus dan kuliah banyak membantunya mengahdapi dunia kerja. Banyak mata kuliah yang turut andil membantunya kini berkembang di dunia copywriter. “Dulu ada mata kuliah dasar-dasar soal teori penulisan, advertising, dasar soal PR (Public Relation), dan menulis rilis. Itu kita dilatih menulis di bidang minat komunikasi strategis,” papar Nasuha mengenang masa-masa kuliah

Dulu, Nasuha bercerita, ia sudah mencoba pengalaman berkarya ini dan itu. Mulai dari ikut program dosen, program karya bersama teman, hingga mendaftar di pekerjaan-pekerjaan yang dianggap sepele. Itu caranya untuk mengetahui kompleksitas dunia kerja. Ia juga akhirnya tetap harus berjuang mengirim ratusan lamaran. Saingannya, menurutnya, adalah mereka-mereka yang sudah berpengalaman kerja, meskipun lowongan itu diperuntukkan untuk fresh graduate. Kunci dan modal utama bersaingnya adalah pengalaman aktivitas di komunitas dan akademik ketika kuliah di Komunikasi UII.

To become a professional, we must be able to decide whether to be a generalist or a specialist. Even though there are some people who choose to be generalists, they can do anything, but it’s best if pursuing your field of specialization can be a direction since you are a student. Specialization in the field of study and expertise will be very decisive when you enter the world of professional work.

“In the world of work, there is someone who chooses to be a ‘yes man. Or, for example, if you want to be a specialist, from the start, your portfolio will lead to the speciality you want to go to,” said Nasuha Ali, copywriter at Edutech Zenius Education, during the Teatime talk show, Friday, August 27, 2021.

Through the live Instagram Live channel, Nasuha told how he started his career and struggled with rivalries in the professional world. “Students of communication like to create creative projects, so this work and portfolio are your capital to face competition.

Instead, they have more experience. How can fresh graduates compete with anyone who already has at least one to two years of experience?” said Nasuha Ali, who is also an alumnus of UII of the Department of Communications. “Yes, multiply the work and project experience, you can do research with lecturers, the program with friends, and so on. That experience is what makes us competitive with those professionals with one or two years of experience,” he advised.

According to him, campus and college activities helped him face the world of work. Many courses that contributed to helping him now thrive in the world of copywriting.

“In the past, there were basic courses on writing theory, advertising, basic PR (Public Relations), and writing press releases. We are trained to write in the field of strategic communication,” said Nasuha, reminiscing about his college days.

In the past, Nasuha told us that he had tried this and that work experience. Starting from participating in lecturer programs, work programs with friends, to registering in trivial jobs. That’s his way of knowing the complexity of the world of work. He also ended up still having to struggle to send hundreds of applications. 

The competitors, according to him, are those who have work experience, even though the vacancies are intended for fresh graduates. The key and the main competitive capital is the experience of community and academic activities while studying at UII of the Department of Communications.

In the midst of Independence Day, a sense of nationalism is not limited to flag symbols and flag ceremonies. Expressing nationalism in the midst of a pandemic can be done by doing small and simple things, but it can be very influential, done together. This can be done by students who are often embedded as agents of change.

Herman Felani, one of the lecturers at Department of Communications at the Universitas Islam Indonesia  (UII) offered the meaning of nationalism at the Teatime International Program of Communication Department, UII. Guided by Muhammad Daffa Athalariq, student class 2019, Saturday, August 20, 2021, we talked casually, discussing how to fill nationalism during a pandemic.

During a pandemic like this, any nuance loses its passion. August, which is usually filled with various competitions and other celebrations, can now only be done at home. Socializing is only limited to social media or the zoom room. In this condition at least, “If you can’t feel the vibe. But, we can put up flags, put up banners. It’s symbolic. It’s a trivial thing, but it awakens the spirit of nationalism,” suggested Herman if he couldn’t do anything else that was more useful.

On a higher level, on independence day Herman advised young people to convey good things as a nation. “If we can’t get together as a nation, imagine community we still apply. We are still one community by spreading good messages during the pandemic.

At the next level, Herman said that students can do simple and trivial things, but have great benefits. Herman described that many Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have gone out of business. He gave an example of a neighbor who helps other neighbors whose sales are quiet due to the pandemic. “He helps sell his friend’s merchandise through social media accounts and online buying and selling accounts. This simple thing is not a big thing, but if many people do it, the benefits are great. It can help a lot of people,” said Herman as an example.

For Herman, nationalism is not just an independence day, a flag, or a ceremony. Nor is it about a particular geographic area, nor is it merely the hometown where I was born and raised. “Nationalism is humanity and justice. It’s not about the hometown where I was born and raised by my mother,” Herman said. Because now it is very felt that whatever happens on earth will have an effect wherever we are. Everything is connected.

International Communication Department program has been running since 2018. International programs are becoming increasingly important when the world is now interconnected. Now humans are no longer isolated by the state and nation, but have become global citizens. International competition and collaboration is a necessity. However, many students still feel that they do not have the English language skills to join the International Communication program.

The Teatime discussion this time, Saturday, August 20, 2021, talked about the International Program at Communications Department of the Univeritas Islam Indonesia (IPC UII). This discussion invited Ida Nuraini Dewi Kodrat Ningsih as Secretary of the International Program of Communication, UII. In this casual chat, they talked about how the lecture process at IPC is, what if you want to change the path from regular class to International class, what about international collaborations such as double degree, IPC UII student admissions, and other international activities at IPC UII.

Regarding lectures, IPC UII uses full English as an introduction to lectures. The same goes for assignments and exams. “Especially for lectures, if there are some students who find it difficult with full English, they can communicate with lecturers who are in charge of certain courses so that they use Indonesian on several occasions,” said Ida.

For some new students who are worried that they will not be able to participate in international programs, IPC UII provides a bridging program, which is a program that bridges students to adapt to learning through various academic preparations.

“There are special courses for new students so they can adapt, the program also includes how to write academically,” added Ida.

There was also Anggi, an IP Communication UII student who at first felt inferior because he felt his English skills were not good. But, after this program he lived, he was able to get used to it. In addition, he also saw that he was not alone, there were several other friends like him who were also still in the process of adapting to the English-academic nuance. “Over time I feel my ability to speak English has improved by itself.”

Di tengah hari kemerdekaan, rasa nasionalisme tak eebatas simbol bendera dan upacara bendera. Mengungkapkan nasionalisme di tengah pandemi bisa dilakukan dengan melakukan hal kecil dan simple, tapi bisa sangat berpengaruh besar dilakukan secara bersama-sama.  Hal ini bisa dilakukan oleh mahasiswa yang sering sekali tersemat sebagai agen perubahan.

Heman Felani, salah satu dosen pengajar di Ilmu Komunikasi Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) menawarkan makna nasionalisme di acara Teatime International Program of Communication DEpartment, UII. Dipandu oleh Muhammad Dafa Athalariq, ngobrol santai sore ini, Sabtu, 20 Agustus 2021, mengulik soal bagaimana mengisi nasionalisme di kala pandemi.

Saat pandemi seperti ini, nuansa apapun jadi kehilangan gairahnya. Agustus yang bisanya diisi dengan berbagai lomba dan perayaan lain, kini hanya bisa di rumah saja. Berssosialisasi hanya sebatas di sosial media atau ruang zoom. Dalam kondisi ini paling tidak, “If you cant feel the vibe. Tapi,  kita bisa memasang bendera, memasang umbul-umbul. Itu simbolisnya. Hal sepele, tapi membangkinkan spirit nasionalisme,” saran Herman jika memang tidak dapat melakukan hal lain yang lebih berguna.

Pada level yang lebih tinggi, di hari kemerdekaan Herman menyarankan anak muda untuk menyampaikan hal-hal yang baik sebagai sebuah bangsa. “kalau nggak bisa kumpul bareng sebagai sebuah bangsa, imagine community masih kita terapkan. Kita masih tetap menjadi satu komunitasdengan menyebarkan pean-pesan yang baik saat pendemi.

Pada level berikutnya, Herman menyampaikan bahwa mahasiswa bisa melakukan hal sederhana dan sepele, tapi punya manfaat yang besar. Herman menggambarkan banyaknya Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah (UMKM) banyak yang gulung tikar. Ia mencontohkan seorang tetangganya yang membantu tetangga lain yang jualannya sepi karena pandemi. “dia membantu menjual barang dagangan temannya melalui akun sosial media dan akun jual beli online. Hal simpel begini bukan hal besar, tapi kalau banyak orang melakukannya manfaatnya besar. Bisa bantu banyak orang” kata Herman mencontohkan.

Bagi Herman, nasionalisme bukan sekadar hari kemerdekaan, bendera, atau upacara. Bukan juga tentang satu wilayah geografi tertentu, bukan juga semata kampung halaman tempat lahir dan dibesarkan. “Nasionalisme adalah humanity and justice. Bukan tentang kampung halaman tempat aku lahir dan dibesarkan bunda,” kata Herman. Karena sekarang sudah sangat terasa bahwa apapun yang terjadi di muka bumi akan berpegaruh dimanapun kita berada.  Semua terkoneksi.

International program Communication Department seudah berjalan sejak 2018. international Progam menjadi kian penting dirasakan ketika kini dunia sudah saling terhubung. Kini manusia sudah tidak lagi terskat oleh negara dan bangsa, tapi sudah menjadi warga global. Kompetisi dan kolaborasi secara internasional menjadi kebutuhan. Tapi, banyak mahasiswa masih merasa kecil diri merasa tidak punya kecakapan berbahasa inggris untuk bergabung dengan International program Communication.

Diskusi Teatime kali ini, Sabtu, 20 Agustus 2021, berbincang soal International program Communication Department of Universitas Islam Indonesia (IPC UII). Diskusi ini mengundang Ida Nuraini Dewi Kodrat Ningsih sekalu Sekretaris International program of Communication, UII. Dalam ngobrol santai kali ini mereka berbincang tentang bagaimana proses perkualiahan di IPC, bagaimana jika ingin pindah jalur dari reguler class ke International class, bagaimana dengan kerjasama international seperti double degree, jalur penerimaan mahasiswa IPC UII, dan kegiatan international lain yang ada di IPC UII.

Tentang perkuliahan, di IPC UII menggunakan bahasa inggris sepenuhnya sebagai pengantar perkuliahan. Begitu juga dengan tugas dan ujian. “Khusus untuk perkuliahan, jika ada beberapa mahasiswa yang merasa kesusahan dengan full inggris bisa komunikasikan dengan dosen pengampu mata kuliah tertentu agar menggunakan bahasa Indonesia di beberapa kesempatan,” ujar Ida.

Untuk beberapa mahasiswa baru yang khawatir jika tidak mampu mengikuti internasional program, IPC UII menyediakan bridging program yakni sebuah program yang menjembatani mahasiswa untuk beradaptasi dengan pembelajaran melalui beragam persiapan akademik. “Ada mata kuliah khusus mahasiswa baru agar mereka bisa adaptasi, program itu juga ada di antaranya adalah bagaimana menulis akademik,” kata Ida.

Ada pula Anggi, mahasiswa IP Communication UII yang pada awalnya sempat minder karena merasa kemampuan bahasa Inggrisnya kurang baik. Tapi, setelah program ini ia jalani, ia sudah bia membiasakan diri. Selain itu ia juga melihat bahwa dia tidak sendiri, ada beberapa teman lain yang seperti dia yang juga masih berproses adaptasi dengan nuansa ingris-akademis. “Lama-lama saya merasa kempampuan saya berbahasa Inggris sudah improve dengan sendirinya.”

Having many activities makes life always full of choices and sacrifices. Being an archery athlete as well as an international student, apart from being smart in managing time, you also have the ability to choose which ones to prioritize and which ones to sacrifice. Even though the choice is not always right and many make mistakes, from the process we will understand which one is better and how we face tomorrow.

The lesson was learned by Jemima and she shared it during a casual chat with the Teatime International Program of Communication Department, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) on Saturday, August 6, 2021. Jemima Josephine Hormigas is an International student at the Department of Communication batch 2019. She is an archery athlete and has won international achievements in several countries such as South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, as well as international championships held in Indonesia.

She has been close to the world of sports since childhood. Finally plunged into the world of archery actually because of academic motivation. “Someone asked me why I didn’t join the archery competition. Later you can win or get a certificate. So you can later enter your favourite school using that certificate. After that, I joined, but now I can’t stop archery,” said Jemima telling her story.

Her daily activities as an athlete and a student must be balanced. Jemima can practice six days a week just like in college. “Because I am an athlete as well as a student, the portion for doing the activity is also the same. If I want to face a competition I can practice longer than usual. If there’s a test, I can study longer than practice.” said Jemima.

Talking about time management, many people will say time management is important. However, in some situations, time management can not be applied. There were times when Jemima was in a situation where she had to make a choice. “Suppose we already have a class schedule. Today there is a lecture from 11 to 14, then at 3-5, I practice. That’s time management,” She said. “Suddenly the lecturer might cancel the lecture at that hour and replace it with 3-5 a clock and that is my practice time. There we are tested, our ability to determine which priorities, and which ones we will sacrifice.” Jemima explained.

At other times, we have to sacrifice free time. Jemima also told us that sometimes when she finished her activities, she didn’t want to go home, even though she had assignments to collect the next day. “I can stay up all night and do my homework because I don’t want my grades to be bad either.”

She said that her activities were very flexible in fact. Even though she was practising and having classes at the same time, she was still able to work on them at the same time. “Lectures are online right now. We can mute the audio and turn off the video. Keep listening, keep practicing. But this is not a good thing,” said Jemima, describing the digital culture that is prevalent in the midst of a pandemic.

Such things were one of the various choices she made. Jemima admits it’s not good, but it’s a choice we can make, and we must be held accountable for the consequences. Archery and college, both are responsibilities, whatever the consequences, she must take and fight for, she said. In fact, she’d been able to get through this all along. Nothing is impossible to balance the two worlds: archery and college.

Memiliki banyak kegiatan, pastilah hidup selalu penuh dengan pilihan dan pengorbanan. Menjadi atlit panahan sekaligus mahasiswa internasional selain harus pintar membagi waktu juga harus punya kemampuan memilih mana prioritas dan mana yang bisa dikorbankan. Meskipun pilihan tak selalu benar dan banyak membuat kesalahan, tapi dari proses itu akan memahamkan mana yang lebih baik dan bagaimana kita menghadapi esok.

Pelajaran itu dipetik Jemima dan ia bagikan saat ngobrol santai Teatime International Program of Communication Department, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) pada Sabtu, 6 Agustus 2021. Jemima Josephine Hormigas adalah mahasiswa International di Ilmu Komunikasi UII angkatan 2019. Ia adalah atlit Panahan dan sudah meraih pretasi internasional di beberapa negara seperti Korea Selatan, Thailand, Singapura, maupun kejuaraan internasional yang diadakan di Indonesia.

Kedekatannya dengan dunia olahraga sudah ia jalani sejak kecil. Akhirnya terjun dunia panahan sebetulnya karena motivasi akademis. “Ada orang tanya ke aku, kenapa nggak ikut lomba panahan. Nanti kamu bisa juara atau dapat sertifikat. Jadi kamu nanti bisa masuk ke sekolah favorit pakai sertifikat itu. Setelah itu aku ikut, tapi malah sekarang nggak bisa berhenti panahan,” kata Jemima menceritakan kisahnya.

Aktifitas kesehariannya sebagai seorang atlit dan seorang mahasiswa haruslah seimbang. Jemima bisa latihan enam hari dalam satu minggu sama seperti kuliah. “Karena aku adalah atlit sekaligus mahasiswa, jadi porsi untuk melakukan atifitas itu juga sama. Jika mau menghadapi kompetisi aku bisa latihan lebih lama dari biasanya. Jika ada ujian, aku bisa belajar lebih lama daripada latihan.” kata Jemima.

Berbicara tentang time management, banyak orang akan bilang manajemen waktu itu penting. Tapi, dalam beberapa situasi, manajemen waktu tidak berlaku. Ada kala Jemima berada dalam satu situasi yang mengharuskan dia harus memiih. “Misalkan kita sudah punya jadwal kuliah. Hari ini ada kuliah jam 11 sampai jam 2, lalu jam 3-5 aku latihan. Managemen waktunya begitu,” ceritanya. “Tiba-tiba dosen bisa saja akan membatalkan kuliah jam itu dan menggantinya dengan jam 3-5 dan itu adalah waktu aku latihan. Di situ kita diuji, kemampuan kita untuk menentukan mana prioritas, dan mana yang akan kita korbankan.” jelas Jemima.

Di kesempatan lain, kita harus mengorbankan waktu luang. Jemima bercerita juga kadang kalau sudah selesai kegiatan tapi belum mau pulang, padahal ada tugas yang harus dia kumpulkan esok harinya. “Aku bisa tidak tidur sepanjang malam dan mengerjakan tugas, karena aku ga mau juga kan nilaiku jelek.”

Ia menceritakan bahwa kegiatannya sangat fleksibel sebetulnya. Meskipun dia sedang latihan dan ada kelas di waktu yang sama, ia masih dapat mengerjakannya bersamaan. “Kuliah sekarang itu kan daring. Kita bisa mute audio dan matikan video. Tetap mendengarkan tetap latihan. Tapi ini bukan hal yang baik,” kata Jemima menceritakan budaya digital yang lazim di tengah pandemi.

Hal-hal seperti itu adalah salah satu dari berbagai pilihan yang ia ambil. Jemima mengakui hal itu tidak baik, tapi itu suatu pilihan yang bisa kita ambil, dan kita harus pertanggungjawabkan konsekuensinya. Panahan dan kuliahan, keduanya adalah tanggungjawab, konsekuensi apapun, harus ditempuh dan ia perjuangkan, katanya. Nyatanya, selama ini ia bisa melewatinya. Tak ada yang tak mungkin untuk menyeimbangkan dua dunia: panahan dan kuliahan.

In times of crisis, the need for information is very fast. So does the flow of information. The number of needs and the flow of information often makes people panic, and confusing because of overlapping information. In an educational institution such as the Indonesian Islamic University (UII), a Public Relations (PR) team is needed to organize information.

This time’s teatime, Thursday, July 8, 2021, carries the theme of mitigating the COVID-19 crisis by Public Relations (PR) at the Islamic University of Indonesia (UII). Discussion of the role of PR in the midst of this pandemic invited Ratna Permata Sari. He is a lecturer in Communication Studies at UII, as well as the Head of Public Relations (PR) at UII.

You can imagine when a crisis occurs, people will wonder what happened, is there any new information, what should I do if a boarding housemate is infected with the coronavirus. What should I do if I am infected by corona? Not only that, confusion about online lectures also became a problem.

In this pandemic situation, PR must create a set of rules for the flow of information to stem the flow of information that is actually misleading. Correct information will make both students, parents, employees, and lecturers get clear and precise information.

In addition to providing information related to health protocols within UII, UII’s PR also creates a call center that will help all UII academics get precise and accurate information.

For example, information related to the affairs and regulations of lectures and work in the UII environment. “If there is information that is not clear, the source can be asked through the call centre. Information becomes one door so it doesn’t confuse people,” said Ratna, who is also a lecturer in the Visual Communication research cluster specialist.

In addition to creating a call centre, UII PR also makes a set of rules related to visits to campus. How to make rules that can mitigate the transmission of covid, for example by making Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for several types of cases. For example, limiting the number of guests, making rules, arranging rooms that may be used, as well as rules for using Covid-19 detection tools.

The condition of this pandemic is not always the same, it is always changing with an increase in cases, the spread of cases in one particular location, as well as changing government policies. Under these conditions, Ratna admits that this pandemic is not an easy crisis. He also gave an example of a number of countries that have not yet fully succeeded. “No one is really an expert in handling the crisis in this COVID-19 pandemic,” said Ratna.

In this uncertain condition of the crisis, the rules can change at any time. These rules must be based on current conditions and the possibility of what could happen in the future. “For example, genose, it is known that it is not very accurate in detecting the presence of the Covid-19 virus, so it must be changed,” said Ratna.
