CV

                                                                       CV (Resume)

Hello everyone, so at this opportunity, I will share material about CVs or resumes which are used as supporting documents which are very important in finding a job. Here we are

1. Definition

A curriculum vitae, often abbreviated as CV, is a document that job applicants use to showcase their academic and professional accomplishments. It is used to apply for positions within the areas where a person’s specific knowledge or expertise is required. A curriculum vitae is usually longer than a resume and must include the information that the recruiter needs to verify the skills, experience, and educational qualifications of an applicant. 

In many countries, a CV is usually the first document that a prospective employer looks at when screening candidates for job interviews scholarship programs, grant applications, or bursaries. When sending a curriculum vitae and other application documents to the employer, some applicants may choose to send physical copies of the document through registered mail, or electronically through email, depending on what the prospective employer indicated on the job advertisement.

2. Function

A completed CV aims to impress recruiters and is sent as a application to jobs adverts or as a speculative approach to prospective companies. CVs are valuable and important because they are your first and maybe only direct communication with a potential employer.
Essentially, a CV is designed to summarise all your academic, professional and personal (where relevant) achievements in order to entice or interest a hiring manager when applying for a new job opportunity.

3. Structure

   a) Personal Information

    b) Education

    c) Work Experience 

    d) Skills 

4. Expression

   a) Personal Information

At the top of the curriculum vitae, write your full name and contact information such as phone number, email address, registered mail address, etc. Below the contact information, include information that describes who you are.

    b) Education

Education information includes a list of the education programs you pursued and the years and name of the institution you attended. Ideally, you should include information on college, graduate school, and post-graduate schools you attended, the courses you pursued, and the year when you graduated from the program.

    c) Work Experience

The work experience section requires you to list your recent work experience that is relevant to the position you are applying for. For each position you’ve previously held, indicate the name of the employer (company), your specific roles, and the duration of the employment.

    d) Skills

If you possess certain skills and you have not mentioned them in the other sections in the curriculum vitae, list them here. The skills may include language skills, computer skills, driving skills, advanced software skills, etc. They should be relevant to the job you are applying for.

Pengalaman Magang di Samsung Service Center (English)

Internship Experience at Samsung Service Center

Hola, Disini saya ingin membagikan cerita dan pengalaman Magang di Samsung Service Center, untuk tugas bahasa inggris saya. sekaligus melengkapi cerita dari teman magang saya; Najwa , Indra dan Diaz. Selamat membaca :)

I carried out the Industrial Work Practice Program at the Samsung Service Center for 6 months from 3 January 2022 to 30 June 2022. I did my internship with 3 of my friends, namely Indra, Najwa and Diaz. We experienced a transition in moving the Samsung office from the one located on Jalan Lamper Tengah in January, then in February, moving to Jalan Ahmad Yani. The office was moved because the building contract at Lamper was about to be completed and a bigger building was needed.

During the first week, the four of us were given the opportunity to get to know and adapt to the staff, employees, systems, environment and work culture that exist at the Samsung Service Center. We are placed in the repair and maintenance of household electronic devices. The work system used is in Home Service, namely by coming to the consumer's house to make repairs on the spot. Schedule of working hours at the Samsung Service Center from Monday to Saturday, 08.30-17.00. The Samsung Service Center has a relaxed and fun work culture but still disciplines number 1. Every employee, technician there has clear work targets, we as apprentices are assigned to help with the work that is there. The four of us were paired with 1 technician each as an apprentice supervisor who had his own section.

After getting to know, knowing and understanding how to work at the Samsung Service Center. I started to improve myself so I could contribute to the Samsung Service Center. Starting from managing discipline, time management and new habits in the office. Every day I arrive at the office at 8 am, half an hour early to prepare for Home Service such as sweeping, mopping, preparing tool bags and checking supporting tools and materials such as portable gas, valves, refrigerant cans and so on. When finished, I still have some time left that can be used to buy coffee at the convenience store and have breakfast.

At 9 o'clock I received the consumer data sheet from the technician and then I read the address and type of damage to the refrigerator. After that I was asked to pick up the spare parts needed in the warehouse such as filters, evaporators, compressors and condensers. After leaving the warehouse, I transferred my bags, spare parts and consumer data to the car to warm up the engine. At half past 10 I left with the technician by car. In the car, we discussed which customer's address to go to first and then while the technician was focused on driving, I was asked to call the customer to let them know that work would be carried out today and to ask the customer for a time and place availability. The trip takes 30 minutes to an hour depending on the distance to the consumer's house. When I approached the consumer's house area, I also had to get out of the car and then approached the security guard to report and ask for the consumer's address. After arriving at my consumer's house, and the technician can start work. It takes 2 to 3 hours to complete the process from welding to filling the refrigerant, so in 1 day we can repair 2 to 3 refrigerators.

Work break hours 12.00 – 13.00. in one hour it is used for midday prayers, lunch and opening cell phones. Because during working hours, I really don't hold my cell phone all the time, even though the technician allows it. It was my choice to stay focused on work. We arrived back at the Office at 17.00. After arriving at the office I rest again after a day of touring. Usually we come home from work after maghrib prayer or even later if there is a certain event.

I got a lot of knowledge and experience when I did my internship at the Samsung Service Center. Also non-technical things such as increasing my discipline, my mentality is more formed, my speaking ability has also increased, my decision-making and maturity have become even better. This cannot be separated from the important role of my technician, he shared many stories, experiences, tips and tricks and taught me many things that I definitely didn't get at school.

Itulah cerita dan pengalaman yang telah saya tuliskan dalam Bahasa Inggris. Mohon maaf apabila terdapat kesalahan dalam pemilihan kata dan penggunaan Bahasa Inggris . Apabila memiliki saran dan kritik dapat kalian tuliskan di kolom komentar, sekian terimakasih.
