Tips Mencari Kerja 2009
Tips Cari Kerja di Internet
Apapun jenis kegiatan jika dikaitkan dengan istilah pencarian adalah suatu pekerjaan yang amat sangat menjenuhkan dan membosankan. Terutama aktivitas dimana seseorang berusaha dalam cari kerja dan menemukan pekerjaan yang diinginkan dan di idam-idamkan! Sebagaimana diketahui bersama, mendapatkan pekerjaan dan kehidupan yang layak sendiri telah dilindungi dan diatur di dalam undang-undang. Namun sungguh seribu sayang, hal itu masih jauh dari harapan. Besarnya jumlah angka pencari kerja dibandingkan jumlah lowongan kerja yang tersedia masih sangat timpang dimana lebih besar pencari kerja. Memang untuk mendapatkan suatu kehidupan yang layak dan mapan merupakan salah satu tanggung jawab pemerintah, namun tidak benar jika sepenuhnya merupakan tanggung jawab pemerintah. Karena jika kita pasif, hasil yang diperoleh-pun jauh dari kata memuaskan.
Melihat perkembangan kebiasaan tenaga kerja baru (fresh graduate), dimana ketika mereka lulus dari jenjang pendidikannya, namun masih belum bisa MANDIRI. Kebanyakan dari mereka masih mengekor kebiasaan lama, yaitu mencari kerja ke-sana! Kesini! Hasilnya pun sudah bisa ditebak, kebanyakan dari mereka gagal mendapatkan kerja sesuai dengan yang diinginkan, bahkan terkadang menyimpang dari background pendidikan yang telah dipelajari di dunia pendidikan. Terlepas dari itu semua, mau gimana lagi! Kebiasaan ini nampaknya akan susah dihilangkan, bagi Anda yang sedang giat mencari kerja secara on-line, berikut ada tips ringan yang saya yakin berguna:
- Terlebih dahulu yang mutlak Anda lakukan adalah dengan memutuskan terlebih dahulu apakah akan mengirimkan lamaran Anda melalui situs resmi perusahaan secara langsung atau dengan perantara pihak kedua seperti forum, situs penyedia lowongan tenaga kerja.
- Dalam mengirim CV atau surat lamaran, usahakan agar mengisi informasi selengkap-lengkapnya yang dapat mencermikan dari kepribadian Anda, misalnya berapa jumlah pendapatan dan penghasilan yang Anda inginkan. Jangan lupa mengisi isian wajib seperti pengalaman kerja, latar belakang pendidikan, lokasi tempat tinggal ketika memasukkan lamaran dan informasi penting lainnya yang mungkin dibutuhkan bagi perusahaan tempat Anda melamar.
- Ketika mengirim resume, pastikan resume tersebut telah disusun dengan benar dan rapi, missal dengan memperhatikan ukuran huruf agar enak dan nyaman ketka di baca, biasanya menggunakan huruf type arial, times new roman, atau verdana silahkan pilih salah satu dengan ukuran berkisar 10 sampai dengan 12. Jika ingin lebih sempurna, silahkan tanyakan ke rekan mungkin yang lebih mahir dan master di bidang ini.
- Menggunakan sampul atau cover, sehingga bagi HDR akan lebih mudah membaca maksud isi surat Anda. Jangan lupa tulis nama lengkap, alamat, dan no telepon yang bisa dihubungi di bagian atas cover atau sampul.
- Jangan membuang waktu dengan membabi buta mengirimkan resume ke bidang di luar cakupan Anda. Pilihlah dengan bijak jenis lowongan kerja yang sesuai dengan bidang Anda. Hal ini akan menguntungkan ke-dua pihak baik perusahaan maupun Anda. Bagi perusahaan sendiri tentunya tidak salah memilih tenaga kerja, sedangkan bagi Anda sendiri pasti akan nyaman jika mendapatkan pekerjaan sesuai dengan bidang yang Anda tekuni.
- Keep Stay Tune………… Kayak radio saja apa salah menulis! Saya tidak salah menulis, yang saya maksud disini tetap jaga terus perkembangan posisi kerja yang Anda incar, apakah masih terbuka lowongannya atau sudah diisi dengan pihak lain. Oleh karena itu tidak ada salahnya Anda menghubungi perusahaan tersebut baik secara telepon, email, atau bahkan mengirim surat lamaran ulang (jika benar-benar posisi tersebut masih terbuka lowongannya)!
- Langkah terakhir yang dianjurkan adalah maintenance atau dengan kata lain tetap terus berusaha, jangan pantang menyerah, dan terus update resume, CV, surat lamaran kerja Anda.
Tips Cari Kerja OFF LINE
Langsung saja, berikut ini tips ringan yang mungkin berguna bagi Anda untuk terhindar dari kedok penipuan :
- Untuk Anda yang mendapatkan informasi lowongan cari kerja dari Koran atau Media cetak, langkah pertama yang seharusnya Anda ambil adalah memastikan kebenaran perusahaan. Apakah benar atau jangan-jangan sebuah penipuan. Memang untuk melakukan tahap awal ini agak sedikit merepotkan, tapi hal ini seharunya wajib Anda lakukan.
- Catat dan cari tahu no telepon yang bisa dihubungi, tips penting dalam hal ini adalah jangan merespon lowongan kerja tersebut jika hanya tercantum no HP. Karena modus penipuan sering kali tidak berani mencantumkan telepon rumah atau telepon kantor.
- Coba analisis secara logika gaji atau penghasilan yang ditawarkan, apakah rasional apakah terlalu berlebihan. Untuk kasus penipuan, biasanya menawarkan penghasilan yang menggiurkan dan jika dianalisis tidak masuk akal jika dibandingkan antara pekerjaan yang ditawarkan dengan penghasilan yang dijanjikan.
- Kemudian jangan lupa untuk mencatat tanggal lamaran itu di muat di media cetak dan kapan kadaluarsanya atau masa habisnya.
- Harap ekstra hati-hati jika Anda baru 1 hari mengirim surat lamaran tapi sudah ada panggilan atau kepastian bahwa lamaran Anda telah diterima. Kemudian jika telah melakukan interview kemudian lansung ditraining atau bahkan langsung di terima untuk kerja. Menyikapi hal kasus tersebut harap di analisa lebih dalam lagi, kemungkinan besar jika hal ini terjadi maka bukan kerjaan yang Anda dapat, tapi Anda dikerjai alias ditipu!
Tips Cari Kerja TAPI Anda sudah Bekerja
Terkadang walaupun kita sudah mendapatkan pekerjaan tapi ada yang ganjal, yaitu kurang puas atau merasa tidak cocok dengan jenis pekerjaan Anda sekarang. Apakah Anda ingin lari dari pekerjaan tersebut untuk cari jenis kerja lain yang ideal bagi Anda? Apakah kemungkinan tersebut bisa dilakukan? Atau jangan-jangan Anda bisa kehilangan pekerjaan yang sekarang dan susah mendapatkan jenis pekerjaan baru yang Anda impikan? Jawabannya sih simple, pasti ada jalan keluarnya. Berikut tips-tips ringan yang mungkin sangat berguna bagi Anda yang mengalami keadaan yang seperti ini :
1. Hindari penggunaan layanan internet dan telepon kantor. Dalam hal ini usahakan sebisa mungkin untuk tidak menggunakan fasilitas kantor untuk mencari kerja yang baru, sekalipun itu email kantor. Hal ini bertujuan agar tidak ada yang mengetahui pihak dari kantor bahwa Anda ingin cari kerja dengan suasana yang baru.
2. Menggunakan etika dengan benar, salah satu contohnya tidak menggunakan printer kantor untuk mencetak resume yang telah Anda buat! Ingat ada perbuatan jelek, maka akan ada karma loeh!
3. Kunci serapat mungkin rahasia Anda bahwa sedang cari kerja baru, hal ini dapat dilakukan dengan meminimalisir komunikasi yang tidak perlu dengan orang-orang yang berada di lingkungan kantor (tenang sifatnya hanya sementara)!
4. Jika Anda mendapatkan panggilan, semisal panggilan interview, usahakan agar dilaksanakan di luar jam kantor, mungkin dapat menggunakan jam makan siang, jam sebelum atau setelah masuk kantor. Namun jika perusahaan baru yang tertarik dengan Anda tidak bisa dengan waktu tersebut, mungkin dengan bijak Anda dapat mengambil cuti untuk sementara.
5. Fokuslah! Memang susah untuk dikerjakan. Yang dimaksud dalam hal ini adalah untuk melakukan tugas kantor dengan professional. Memang susah untuk bersifat adil, apalagi jika melakukan pekerjaan yang sudah tidak disukai. Percayalah jika Anda tidak professional untuk perusahaan Anda yang sekarang, maka akan berakibat buruk. Anda Akan meninggalkan citra buruk bagi perusahaan yang Anda tinggalkan, dan hal ini akan berdampak buruk terhadap karir Anda dalam jangka panjang.

Evaluating a Job Offer
Once you receive a job offer, you must decide if you want the job. Fortunately, most organizations will give you a few days to accept or reject an offer.
There are many issues to consider when assessing a job offer. Will the organization be a good place to work? Will the job be interesting? Are there opportunities for advancement? Is the salary fair? Does the employer offer good benefits? Now is the time to ask the potential employer about these issues—and to do some checking on your own.
The organization. Background information on an organization can help you to decide whether it is a good place for you to work. Factors to consider include the organization’s business or activity, financial condition, age, size, and location.
You generally can get background information on an organization, particularly a large organization, on its Internet site or by telephoning its public relations office. A public company’s annual report to the stockholders tells about its corporate philosophy, history, products or services, goals, and financial status. Most government agencies can furnish reports that describe their programs and missions. Press releases, company newsletters or magazines, and recruitment brochures also can be useful. Ask the organization for any other items that might interest a prospective employee. If possible, speak to current or former employees of the organization.
Background information on the organization may be available at your public or school library. If you cannot get an annual report, check the library for reference directories that may provide basic facts about the company, such as earnings, products and services, and number of employees. Some directories widely available in libraries either in print or as online databases include:
- Dun & Bradstreet’s Million Dollar Directory
- Standard and Poor’s Register of Corporations
- Mergent’s Industrial Review (formerly Moody’s Industrial Manual)
- Thomas Register of American Manufacturers
- Ward’s Business Directory
Stories about an organization in magazines and newspapers can tell a great deal about its successes, failures, and plans for the future. You can identify articles on a company by looking under its name in periodical or computerized indexes in libraries, or by using one of the Internet’s search engines. However, it probably will not be useful to look back more than 2 or 3 years.
The library also may have government publications that present projections of growth for the industry in which the organization is classified. Long-term projections of employment and output for detailed industries, covering the entire U.S. economy, are developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and revised every 2 years. (See the Career Guide to Industries, online at www.bls.gov/oco/cg.) Trade magazines also may include articles on the trends for specific industries.
Career centers at colleges and universities often have information on employers that is not available in libraries. Ask a career center representative how to find out about a particular organization.
During your research consider the following questions:
Does the organization’s business or activity match your own interests and beliefs?
It is easier to apply yourself to the work if you are enthusiastic about what the organization does.
How will the size of the organization affect you?
Large firms generally offer a greater variety of training programs and career paths, more managerial levels for advancement, and better employee benefits than do small firms. Large employers also may have more advanced technologies. However, many jobs in large firms tend to be highly specialized.
Jobs in small firms may offer broader authority and responsibility, a closer working relationship with top management, and a chance to clearly see your contribution to the success of the organization.
Should you work for a relatively new organization or one that is well established?
New businesses have a high failure rate, but for many people, the excitement of helping to create a company and the potential for sharing in its success more than offset the risk of job loss. However, it may be just as exciting and rewarding to work for a young firm that already has a foothold on success.
The job. Even if everything else about the job is attractive, you will be unhappy if you dislike the day-to-day work. Determining in advance whether you will like the work may be difficult. However, the more you find out about the job before accepting or rejecting the offer, the more likely you are to make the right choice. Consider the following questions:
Where is the job located?
If the job is in another section of the country, you need to consider the cost of living, the availability of housing and transportation, and the quality of educational and recreational facilities in that section of the country. Even if the job location is in your area, you should consider the time and expense of commuting.
Does the work match your interests and make good use of your skills?
The duties and responsibilities of the job should be explained in enough detail to answer this question.
How important is the job to the company or organization?
An explanation of where you fit in the organization and how you are supposed to contribute to its overall goals should give you an idea of the job’s importance.
What will the hours be?
Most jobs involve regular hours—for example, 40 hours a week, during the day, Monday through Friday. Other jobs require night, weekend, or holiday work. In addition, some jobs routinely require overtime to meet deadlines or sales or production goals, or to better serve customers. Consider the effect that the work hours will have on your personal life.
How long do most people who enter this job stay with the company?
High turnover can mean dissatisfaction with the nature of the work or something else about the job.
Opportunities offered by employers. A good job offers you opportunities to learn new skills, increase your earnings, and rise to positions of greater authority, responsibility, and prestige. A lack of opportunities can dampen interest in the work and result in frustration and boredom.
The company should have a training plan for you. What valuable new skills does the company plan to teach you?
The employer should give you some idea of promotion possibilities within the organization. What is the next step on the career ladder? If you have to wait for a job to become vacant before you can be promoted, how long does this usually take? When opportunities for advancement do arise, will you compete with applicants from outside the company? Can you apply for jobs for which you qualify elsewhere within the organization, or is mobility within the firm limited?
Salaries and benefits. When an employer makes a job offer, information about earnings and benefits are usually included. You will want to research to determine if the offer is fair. If you choose to negotiate for higher pay and better benefits, objective research will help you strengthen your case.
You should also look for additional information, specifically tailored to your job offer and circumstances. Try to find family, friends, or acquaintances who recently were hired in similar jobs. Ask your teachers and the staff in placement offices about starting pay for graduates with your qualifications. Help-wanted ads in newspapers sometimes give salary ranges for similar positions. Check the library or your school’s career center for salary surveys such as those conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers or various professional associations.
If you are considering the salary and benefits for a job in another geographic area, make allowances for differences in the cost of living, which may be significantly higher in a large metropolitan area than in a smaller city, town, or rural area.
You also should learn the organization’s policy regarding overtime. Depending on the job, you may or may not be exempt from laws requiring the employer to compensate you for overtime. Find out how many hours you will be expected to work each week and whether you receive overtime pay or compensatory time off for working more than the specified number of hours in a week.
Also take into account that the starting salary is just that—the start. Your salary should be reviewed on a regular basis; many organizations do it every year. How much can you expect to earn after 1, 2, or 3 or more years? An employer cannot be specific about the amount of pay if it includes commissions and bonuses.
Benefits also can add a lot to your base pay, but they vary widely. Find out exactly what the benefit package includes and how much of the cost you must bear.

Job Searching from Work
If you were to do that, you certainly wouldn't be the first (or the only) person to do so. Most people job search during the work week, rather than on weekends, and many of them do it from work. Given the way companies monitor employees it's not wise to use your work computer or email account for job searching. There are also ethical issues with job searching on your boss's dime (even if you can't stand him or her).
Who is Watching You Work
A Proofpoint Survey found that 32% of large companies read employee email. Almost 28% have terminated employees for email policy violations, while another 45% have disciplined an employee for violating email policies. 20% of surveyed employers disciplined employees for improper use of blogs or message boards, 14% for social network violations, and 11% for improper use of media sharing sites.
What you do online, at least when you're doing it from work, is your employer's business and not much of it is private. And the number of companies reading your email is important to note for anyone seeking employment. In fact, almost 17% of the companies surveyed had employees whose primary job is to read or analyze email.
So, it's important to be careful. Here's what you can do to make sure you don't get in trouble job searching from work, or even worse lose your job before you're ready to move on.
Job Searching at Work Do's and Don'ts
Email Account
Do not use your work email address for job searching. Use your personal account and don't send resumes and cover letters from your work email account or use that email address when you apply online.
Computer and Phones
Don't use your employer's computers or phone system. Keep your resume, your email correspondence, and anything and everything related to your job search on your home computer. Use your home phone or cell phone for job searching calls. Check for messages discreetly during the work day so you don't miss out on important calls.
Going Online
If you have a blog, be careful what you say on it. People have been fired for comments made about their employer. The same goes for what you write on MySpace, Facebook, and other networking sites. Videos posted on YouTube can be problematic, too. A police officer was fired for breach of work rules and policy because of a video of his activities during work showed up on YouTube.
Instant Message is dangerous, as well. Employers can - and do - read what you write there, too.
When and Where to Job Search
Use your lunch hour or your break. Visit a bookstore, coffee shop, or library with Internet access on your lunch hour and bring your laptop. This is also a good time to return employer phone calls, especially if you can take an early or late lunch to catch them in the office.
Be Discreet
Be careful who you tell that you're looking for a new job. If you tell co-workers, you can be sure that it will get back to your boss, one way or the other. Do tell your family, so they can take messages for you and so they don't inadvertently call work to say someone is calling about an interview.
Build Your Network
All of us should have a network of colleagues and contacts to use for building our career, whether we are currently job searching, or not. Most people's LinkedIn network has lots of contacts from previous employers, their current employer, vendors, customers, and colleagues. Staying in touch with those contacts, as well as what's happening in your field, can help your employer as well as yourself. Yes, you're positioning yourself for the future, but you're also using a tool that can help you learn about new products and can make connections that could help your company succeed.
Use Your Network
How does that saying go about killing two birds with one stone? Building your network on professional networking sites like LinkedIn can help your employer as well as yourself. For example, a web developer used his LinkedIn network to find someone to help with usability testing for his company's new web site. During the process, he also made a new contact who could help with his future job searching activities.
If, despite your best efforts, your boss catches you job searching, here's advice on what to do next and how to limit the damage.
