Yogyakarta, September 29th 2021─FISIPOL UGM Career Development Center (CDC) career webinar is back on Wednesday (29/9). The career webinar invited Lady Daratuka Aderof as the Talent Recruitment team in Glints Singapore to talk about “How to Prepare Your CV and Conquer the Interview”. Lady talked about two main topics which are how to create a CV and how to do an interview.
Lady started her speech by talking about the difference between CV and resume while talking about the contextual function of both documents, especially in relation to job recruitments in Indonesia. In both topics, Lady talked about the tips and tricks, do’s and don’ts, as well as the to-do lists in creating a CV and preparing for an interview. Other than that, Lady also explained several methods that one can use to enhance their CV and interview answers like using the ATS form for CVS and the STAR method ─situation, task, action, result─to answer interview questions.
As a reminder and motivation, Lady slipped in a quote by the end of her material. “When you’re hunting for a job, you need to make sure you’ve got the right documents ready and good to go,” Lady said after the material of CV preparation, and was followed by “If something is destined for you, never in a million years will it be for somebody else,” to close her interview preparation session.
The material given by Lady is relevant to the audience, especially those who are still studying in university. This relevance can be seen in the multiple questions that arose from the audience in the question and answer sessions. The topic of the question also varies, and Lady responded based on her experience as a talent recruitment agent and as a job seeker.
The audience not only got the chance to discuss the material in the question and answer session, webinar attendees also got the chance to test their understanding of the material through a quiz created by Lady. The form of the quiz is a case study where the audience tries to see what the character is doing wrong and how they can fix it. After Lady got the answer from all the audience, she elaborated the points that she talked about in order to reiterate the material she gave.
