Surat Lamaran = Cermin Diri

• Sampaikan maksud secara singkat. Surat lamaran sebaiknya tidak lebih dari 1 halaman.

• Tampilkan cover letter secara sederhana. Jangan menggunakan format berlebihan.

• Tulis secara formal, dalam bentuk paragraf, bukan poin-poin.

• Cantumkan posisi yang diinginkan secara spesifik.

• Tuliskan antusiasme dengan menuliskan ketertarikan kamu pada perusahaan tersebut. Hal ini penting kamu cantumkan di awal surat.

Dalam surat lamaran, biasanya kamu mencantumkan sebuah resume. Buatlah resume yang menunjukkan kelebihan-kelebihan kamu. Tapi jangan membuat resume yang terlalu panjang. Pilihlah pengalaman yang paling menonjol dan sesuai dengan bidang pekerjaan yang kamu lamar. Semua karya dan sertifikat kamu dilampirkan secara terpisah.

Wawancara!!!

Inilah saatnya dimana HRD sebuah perusahaan melakukan cek dan ricek atas surat lamaran dan cv yang kamu kirimkan. Tunjukkan kemampuan maksimal. Ada baiknya sebelum menjalani wawancara, lakukan riset terlebih dahulu dan mencari tahu latar belakang perusahaan yang bersangkutan. Ini memberikan kesan kamu antusias dengan pekerjaan yang ditawarkan. Sebelum berangkat wawancara, pastikan kamu sudah mempersiapkan penampilan dengan baik. Ingat bahwa orang yang mewawancarai kamu tidak mengenal siapa pribadi kamu. Kesan pada pandangan pertama adalah segala-galanya. Gunakan pakaian yang rapi dengan warna netral dan sepatu terturup. Hindari motif dan gaya berlebihan.

Saat wawancara ..........

☻ Duduk tegak tanpa terlihat tegang. Jangan bersandar, karena akan memberi kesan malas dan tidak semangat.

☻ Lakukan kontak mata dan tersenyum.

☻ Dengar pertanyaan baik-baik. Jangan cepat memotong pertanyaan pewawancara walau kamu tau alasanya

☻ Datanglah sendiri ke tempat wawancara .

☻ Jangan terpancing untuk membuka diri, mengeluh dan menjelek-jelekkan perusahaan lama tempat kamu pernah bekerja. Fokuskan alasan kepindahan kamu pada hal positif pada perusahaan yang kamu lamar.

☻ Pancarkan aura kalau kamu benar-benar antusiasdan menginginkan pekerjaan tersebut.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus (Notes - John Gray Ph.D.)

Men and Women are Hard Wired Differently and respond differently.

1. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus
Men and women are very different in the ways they think, respond and behave. Understanding these differences helps relationships. ‘We mistakenly assume that if our partners love us they will react and behave in [the way] we react and behave when we love someone.’
2. Mr. Fix-It and the Home-Improvement Committee
Women complain that men don't listen but are just looking to provide solutions. Men complain that women are always trying to improve them and the way they do things. Men value power, competence, and achievement. They need to achieve results by themselves. Women value feelings and the quality of relationships.
Women should not offer unsolicited advice to men as it would seem critical and unaccepting. Men must listen to women without offering solutions but in order to understand what she is going through.
3. Men go to their caves and women talk
Men deal with stress by retreating to their caves: they become more focused and withdrawn. Women become more overwhelmed and emotionally involved. They want to talk about problems.
Men don’t burden others with their problems—they feel that they need to solve them alone. They can lose awareness of everything and everyone around them and become distant, unresponsive, and forgetful. Women resent this but need to have patience.
For women, sharing problems with others is a sign of trust. They openly share their feelings of frustration and hopelessness. Women are not looking for immediate solutions but want to be understood. When women talk about problems, men feel that they are being held responsible. He should not offer explanations or solutions but listen to understand.
4. How to motivate the opposite sex
Both men and women are motivated by love. Men feel loved when they are needed; women feel loved when they are cherished. To become motivated men must always feel trusted and appreciated. Women must constantly reinforce the message that the man is needed. Women need to feel loved and cherished. Men should show empathy and compassion.
5. Speaking different languages
The languages that men and women use have the same words but different and often confusing meanings. Women speak in metaphors and generalizations. If men speak at all, it is very literal and they interpret women in the same literal way.
A man talks only to convey information. A woman talks for many more reasons and complain that men don’t talk. Women should support men in their caves by going off and doing something with their friends. Men should explain why they’re not talking.
6. Men are Like Rubber Bands
Men get very close to women and then pull away. After fulfilling their need for intimacy, men feel a strong need for independence and autonomy. After fulfilling that need, they will once again feel the need for intimacy. Men constantly alternate between needing autonomy and intimacy. When a man is pulling away he should be left alone.
7. Women are Like Waves
A woman's self-esteem rises and falls like waves. When her self-esteem is high, she has plenty of love to give. When she feels low, she is unable to be as appreciative and accepting of her partner. When a woman's wave crashes a man should go out of his way to support her. He must listen, validate her feelings and give reassurance.
8. Discovering our different emotional needs
Women need to receive care, understanding, respect, devotion, validation and reassurance. Men need to receive trust, acceptance, appreciation, admiration, approval, encouragement. The best way to get what we need is by giving our partners what they need.
9. How to avoid arguments
They should be avoided at all costs—negotiate, don’t argue. When a man feels challenged, he focuses on being right and forgets to be loving. He upsets her and invalidates her feelings—usually by trying to solve her problems. We need to accept that our partners aren't perfect.
10. Scoring points with the opposite sex
Men believe that they score highly with women when they do something big. Everything, whether big or small, scores one point with women. Women can score highly with men by using their scoring scheme. Big acts of love score many points.
11. How to communicate difficult feelings
Anger and disappointment need to be expressed in a loving way. Love letters are a good way to release negative emotions in a more loving way.
12. How to ask for support and get it
There are three steps to asking for and getting what you what. 1) Ask properly—involving good timing and asking in a non-demanding tone. Be brief and be direct. 2) Practice asking for support even if you expect the answer to be "no." 3) Ask assertively. One of the key elements to asking assertively is to remain silent after making your request.
13. Keeping the magic of love alive
To be successful in relationships, we must understand the different seasons of love. We must not expect our partners to always feel the same degree of love as we feel. We must learn to love our partners through "thick and thin.

How to Learn English ???!!!

Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!

Speak without Fear

The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.

Use all of your Resources

Even if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect.

Surround Yourself with English

The absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” .

Listen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible

There are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become.

Watch English Films and Television

This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents.

Listen to English Music

Music can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine.

Study As Often As Possible!

Only by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language.

Do Exercises and Take Tests

Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English.

Record Yourself

Nobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time. You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much.

Listen to English

By this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs in English. This is different than watching the television or films because you can’t see the person that is speaking to you. Many learners of English say that speaking on the phone is one of the most difficult things that they do and the only way to improve is to practice.

Finally

Have fun!
