TIP TRICK WAWANCARA

Informasi Tip Trick Lowongan Kerja dan Dunia Kerja Terbaru(Hot Job Tips)

Like preparing a great meal, interviewing requires preparation. Get good ingredients and give yourself time. Prepare the food on the plate to make the meal attractive. All of these go into a great meal. Taking the time to prepare for an interview will give you a huge leg up on your completion.

1. Schedule interviews at times that work for your metabolism. Are you a morning person? Why would you accept a 6PM interview? If you are a person who functions best in the afternoon, try not to accept early morning appointments. If you are a person who needs to be conscious of their blood sugar, try to schedule your appointments at times when you are at your peak. If forced to accept one of your less ideal times, have a quick bite prior to the interview to avoid “fading.” Avoid overeating.
2. Give yourself extra time to get to their offices. There are few things worse than getting to an interview late.
3. Arrive at the office building 7-10 minutes early. If it is summer, you want to wait in the lobby to cool off; no one likes shaking sweaty hands. If its winter, warm up; you don’t want someone’s early impressions of you formed by shaking a cold hand. Take a few minutes in the lobby to get focused on what you will say. Allow a few minutes to get through building security so that you actually arrive at your interview on time and ready to go.

4. Properly introduce yourself to everyone you meet by saying. “My name is __________ and I have a 1:30 interview with ________________.”

5. If you are asked if they can hang your coat, accept the offer; if offered a beverage, accept a beverage. You don’t have to drink coffee or tea. Soda, bottled water or water is fine. Thank whoever helps you. Declining the offer may be rude in some cultures.

6. Take your seat in order to face the greatest number of entry points into the room so tat you can see someone approaching you. Being startled is not a good way to start a meeting.

7. If you are given an application, complete it and complete it accurately and neatly. Do not attach your resume and write, “See attached resume.” An application is a legal document and failure to complete it accurately can be grounds for termination.

8. If you are not sure about the month you started a job or your exact salary, write “approx” (for the word approximately) next to the item. If asked, indicate you are not absolutely certain of the exact month and don’t wish to deceive anyone. Obviously, if you can ascertain your salary or starting date prior to interviewing, do so; for some people, the date or salary may be so far in the past to make it impossible to determine.

9. Write legibly (or as legibly as you can). This may be the twelfth application you’ve completed, but it is the first of yours that they’ve seen. In many professions, sloppiness is seen as a flaw.

10. When you hear your name announced, stand, and smile, shake the hand of your interviewer and immediately size them up as a person. Are they smart (or not). Aggressive (or not). If you were meeting this person socially, I’m sure your instincts would be right. Unfortunately, because people think interviews are important, they think they have to feel the interviewer out. Doing that is a mistake. Hard and fast impressions of you will be formed during the next ten minutes that will be difficult to change. If you tend to be right in social situations about the people you meet, trust your instincts in professional ones, too.
Using these ten steps as a check list will get you started well than your competition. What you do after that is up to you. Good luck.

Berbohong saat tes wawancara bukan hanya tak berguna, tapi juga bisa membuat Anda tidak diterima. Lebih bijaksana bila pertanyaan dijawab apa adanya, spontan, langsung ke pokok persoalan, tidak mengada-ada, tidak menggurui, dan sopan.

"Padahal tinggal wawancara lo, kok gagal. Dulu juga begitu, selalu kandas di tahap ini". Keluhan macam itu banyak kita dengar dari mereka yang tak lolos dalam wawancara psikologi untuk melamar kerja. Sebuah kenyataan yang menyesakkan, apalagi kebanyakan tahapan wawancara berada diakhir proses seleksi. Lolos di sini berarti si calon diterima di tempat kerja yang baru.

Wawancara psikologi punya banyak makna. Ada beberapa versi, salah satunya, menurut Bingham dan Moore, wawancara adalah "... conversation directed to define purpose other than satisfaction in the conversation itself". Sedangkan menurut Weiner, "The term interview has a history of usage going back for centuries. It was used normally to designate a face to face meeting of individual for a formal conference on some point."

Dari kedua definisi itu didapatkan kondisi bahwa wawancara adalah pertemuan tatap muka, dengan menggunakan cara lisan, dan mempunyai tujuan tertentu.

Jangan dibayangkan wawancara itu sama dengan interogasi karena tujuan utamanya memang "berbeda", meskipun sedikit serupa dalam hal menggali dan mencocokkan data. Yang pasti, cara yang dipergunakan dalam kedua hal itu berlainan.

Interogasi lebih menekankan pada tercapainya tujuan, dengan berbagai cara dan akibat, baik secara halus maupun kasar. Posisi interogator lebih tinggi dan bebas daripada yang diinterogasi, serta lebih langsung.

Bandingkan dengan wawancara psikologi, di mana kedudukan antara pewawancara dan yang diwawancarai relatif setara. Kondisinya pun berbeda, karena tidak ada penekanan serta tidak menggunakan kekuasaan. Bahkan dalam kondisi ekstrem, seorang calon karyawan yang diwawancarai bisa saja tidak menjawab, pewawancara pun tidak akan memaksa. Namun, hal itu tentu akan sangat mempengaruhi penilaian dalam pengambilan keputusan seorang psikolog.

Cocok berbobot

Wawancara dalam tes psikologi (psikotes) sebenarnya satu paket dengan tes tertulisnya. Tes ini bertujuan mencari orang yang cocok dan pas, baik dari tingkat kecerdasan, serta sifat dan kepribadian. Istilah kerennya mendapatkan "the right man in the right place".

TIP TRICK MEMBUAT RESUME

Informasi Tip Trick Lowongan Kerja dan Dunia Kerja Terbaru(Hot Job Tips)

Resume atau riwayat singkat yang berisi pengalaman dan ketrampilan yang dimiliki oleh seseorang yang melamar sebuah pekerjaan amatlah menentukan bagi dipilih atau tidaknya si pelamar untuk masuk ke tahapan selanjutnya dalam proses rekrutmen dan seleksi karyawan. Resume yang dibuat dengan baik akan mempermudah pembacanya (baca: recruiter) dalam mengevaluasi kualifikasi yang dimiliki oleh si pelamar.

Pentingnya membuat resume yang dirancang secara khusus (bukan menjiplak model resume orang lain) seringkali tidak disadari oleh si pelamar. Dalam banyak kasus masih sering dijumpai bahwa pelamar justru menggunakan format resume yang sudah baku dengan cara membeli formulir resume yang dijual di toko-toko buku atau pun
mendownload formulir yang terdapat di websites. Memang hal ini tidaklah sepenuhnya salah, namun demikian si pelamar hendaklah mempertimbangkan apakah format tersebut sudah cocok dengan karakter dirinya. Apa yang terjadi jika ternyata format baku tersebut, setelah diisi oleh pelamar, ternyata justru banyak menyisakan ruang kosong alias tidak dapat diisi semuanya. Bukankah hal demikian justru dapat menyebabkan si pelamar tampak penuh dengan kekurangan di mata si pembaca resume tersebut. Selain itu resume menjadi tidak enak untuk dilihat.

Dalam kompetisi memperebutkan pekerjaan di tengah - tengah situasi ekonomi yang tidak menggembirakan saat ini, ditambah lagi dengan banyaknya jumlah pencari kerja, tidak jarang para pengusaha (baca: orang yang mempekerjakan) harus meluangkan banyak waktu untuk menyeleksi para calon pekerja yang berkualitas. Mengingat bahwa satu jabatan yang lowong bisa dilamar oleh ratusan bahkan ribuan pelamar, maka pengusaha sangat mengandalkan resume pelamar untuk menyaring/menyeleksi mereka untuk dipanggil wawancara atau test dalam proses berikutnya. Dengan kondisi demikian maka pelamar yang tidak dapat membuat resume yang dapat menggambarkan kualitas dirinya dalam bentuk resume yang menarik, padat, dan lugas akan sangat kecil kemungkinannya untuk dipanggil. Alangkah sayangnya jika pelamar ternyata sangat menguasai bidang yang dilamarnya tetapi gagal hanya karena resume yang dibuatnya tidak berkenan di hati pengusaha/pembaca.

Dengan membuat resume secara menarik, padat dan lugas si pelamar sebenarnya memperoleh manfaat yang sangat besar bagi dirinya karena ia telah mampu:

Memberikan fakta-fakta tentang latar belakang pelamar.
menunjukkan kualifikasi yang dimiliki sehingga layak untuk memangku jabatan yang dilamar memperlihatkan tujuan karir yang diinginkannya.




Today’s job market is competitive. Many companies receive hundreds of resumes a year, making it difficult for yours to stand out from the crowd. However, that should not keep you from getting interviews. The following 10 tips will help you learn how to get employers to read your resume and get your phone ringing.

1. Include a profile

Begin your resume with a profile, which contains a synopsis of your varied skills and educational qualifications. This profile should match the particular job you want to apply for. State your career objective clearly so that the reader gets an overall idea of your background and areas of expertise. Write this section in such a manner that it immediately catches the attention of a hiring manager, and he calls you instead of someone else.

2. Keep the resume short

No one has the time to go through elaborate detailing about your past jobs and experiences. Therefore, keep the resume short. Make a list of the most important jobs you have held and give a brief of your previous job-oriented experiences. However, in the case of technical people, resumes can extend to three pages in order to include relevant technical information.

3. Give more importance on content than on looks

One of the major mistakes people make while creating resumes is in the use of fancy fonts. Avoid using fancy fonts and do not change font regularly throughout the resume. Changing fonts regularly will distract and confuse a hiring manager. Do not use underlining or italics to add emphasis. Make your document eye appealing so that your reader can review it with ease. Use white paper and make the thoughts flow smoothly.

4. Clearly identify your skills

Do not be modest in mentioning your skills. Clearly identifying your skills will distinguish you from the other job seekers and eventually help your potential employers to select you from the rest. Remember, all you have to do is to stand out from the crowd.

5. List your educational and professional qualifications

Include any relevant education or training that might relate. Provide details of only those qualifications that match your current job search. This will help you to get short-listed more easily.

6. Focus on your job responsibilities

Starting with your present position or most recent job, mention the title of every job you have held, along with the name of the company, the city and state, and the years you have worked there. Under each position, make a list of your job responsibilities. Use descriptive verbs, such as created, increased, performed, initiated, developed, led, improved or reduced to begin each statement of your duties and accomplishments. Producing a document that is well presented, detailed and targeted will attract the attention of your hiring manager.

7. Add related qualifications and interests

Think about anything else that might qualify you for your job objective and place it at the bottom of your resume. It may include licenses, certifications, awards and achievements, and sometimes even your hobbies and interests if they truly relate. If you seek a job in a music company, for example, stating on your resume that you are a pianist will increase your chance to get that interview call.

8. Be honest with your resume

If you did not actually do what you said you did, it would be called a lie. Numerous surveys show that job applicants lie most frequently about education and employment, particularly about job responsibilities and dates of employment. Hiding gaps in employment and jobs where they were forced to leave by the respective employers is also common. There are many risks involved in lying, but many job applicants do not seem to get the message about the risks of lying. Once you are caught with a lie, you will be fired then and there. So, DON”T lie – be honest with your resume.

9. Always attach a covering letter

A cover letter is a letter of introduction that highlights your key achievements and skills and entitles you for a job opening. It reflects your communication skills and your personality. The main purpose of this document is to introduce yourself in such an interesting manner that the reader will not only continue reading your resume but also be willing to call you for an interview.

If you want to create cover letters for any career situation, position, and job level, I recommend a unique resume/ cover letter tool on the Internet today called Amazing Cover Letter Creator ( http://pes2004.amazingcl.hop.clickbank.net ). I recommend this tool, because it solves the frustrating problem job seekers have when trying to write an effective resume cover letter. You can use it over and over again for all your cover letter needs.

10. Proofread your resume

After you have finalized your employment documents, check them repeatedly for errors in spelling, grammar, or punctuation. Spelling and grammatical errors can automatically disqualify a resume from consideration. If you make mistakes on your employment documents, hiring managers might presume you will be equally careless on the job - no matter how important your qualifications and experiences are. Proofread your resume and cover letter carefully.

Make your resume positive and completely error-free. If you are seeking two or three different positions, prepare two or three separate resumes, each tailored to the job you are targeting. Make your resume exclusive and unique so that it stands out from the crowd. Good luck for your career!

Tips Resume

Informasi Tip Trick Lowongan Kerja dan Dunia Kerja Terbaru(Hot Job Tips)

To get that perfect job you must market yourself! One of your most important self-marketing tools is your resume. Your resume is your personal promotional brochure. It showcases your experience and accomplishments for potential employers and your strategy should be to emphasize experience and skills that employers you`re interested in are looking for.

Remember that your resume demonstrates your communication and organizational skills. Before placing it in front of those potential employers be certain that you`ve spent sufficient time preparing it for view, then go over it again. After you`re satisfied with its perfection have a friend or colleague, whose analytical skills you trust, review it for you. Only after all of this preparation will your resume be capable of separating you from the masses and attracting the attention of employers.

Three major resume formats exist for you to choose from. Each possesses benefits and drawbacks. Your personal situation should determine which format you select. The Chronological format is the most common resume style, and the one that most employers prefer. If there are no valid reasons for not using it, then select the Chronological format.

1. The Chronological Resume
This traditional style resume lists your professional experience chronologically, with your most recent position listed first. In the Chronological format, the emphasis is on employment experience. Most employers are familiar with and prefer this format. BUT if you recently graduated, have held jobs with no relevance to the positions you`re currently looking for, or you`re re-entering the workforce after a long absence, then the Chronological resume will emphasize your lack of experience. In these cases you should consider the Functional resume format.

2. The Functional Resume

This format emphasizes your skills and achievements instead of your work history. If your work history is minimal, has gaps, or you`re changing fields then the functional format will focus attention on your skills and any relevant experience, including your educational experiences. Your employment history is avoided completely or very briefly summarized at the beginning of the resume.

3. The Combination Resume

This format is primarily a Functional resume with a short chronological order employment history. Relevant skills and accomplishments are provided first, then followed by your employment history. This format has been gaining in popularity, but the chronological resume still ranks as the employer`s favorite.

Writing Tips

Web Resume Keywords are how employers find you in our database. For example if an employer is looking for a PhD with clinical research experience, then the terms PhD and Clinical Research must be in your resume for you to appear in their search results. If you are particularly interested in Immunology or Pharmacokinetics, then these terms must be in your resume for employers in those specific fields to easily locate you.

Keywords are usually nouns but may also include skill and experience verbs such as Diagnostic Development or FDA submissions. Acronyms and industry terminology are also important resume keywords. Some examples are QA, HPLC, ELISA, RIA, PCR, and SQL.

Keep it brief and concise. Avoid large paragraphs. If possible resumes should be on one page. Two pages are acceptable if you have extensive relevant work experience to describe. Never print on the backside of the paper.

Emphasize specific skills and achievements when describing your previous work responsibilities. Employers are particularly interested in candidates that exhibit self-confidence, written and verbal communication skills, initiative and motivation, analytical abilities, flexibility, and strong team working skills.

Use standard page margins and fonts. The standard page margins are 1" on the top and bottom with 1.25" on the sides. (This does NOT apply to web based resumes! See the Electronic Resumes article for specific directions on formatting a web based resume like the one used in the MedZilla database.) Fonts such as Arial and Times New Roman are the most widely used and therefore will appear as you intended when an employer opens your emailed resume attachment. Keep all of your font sizes between 10 and 14. Stick with the same font throughout the resume.

Eliminate unnecessary resume details. Hobbies and other personal interests should only be included if they relate to the positions you`re interested in.

Check your resume for proper grammar and correct spelling! This cannot be emphasized enough. Poor grammar and misspelled words cause a potential employer to question your attention to detail and the quality of your work. With a sea of applicants to select from why should they bother with an individual with a poor resume? Remember your resume is your personal promotional brochure. After checking your resume for grammar and spelling have some friends or colleagues look it over, the more the better.

With each viewing and edit your resume becomes more polished and will be more successful at its purpose- bringing you to employers` attention.
