Apa sih advise terbaik kamu buat mahasiswa/pelajar agar sukses berkarier dan berkarya dimasa depan ?
Never limit yourself. Your capabilities are beyond what you know, sometimes they might surprise you. Whatever stage you are right now, whatever major you are in, whatever campus you study at, whatever dream job you have in mind, the one think to keep in mind is: never limit yourself. Be realistic is important but never limit yourself. Don't stop before you try. It's okay to fail. Because success never happens in one night, success is not a miracle, you can't just sit around, wishing, and waiting for it to happen. You have to make it happen. Dream big and fight for it.
Kurikulum jurusan ?
It helps me a lot in shaping my mindset of striving in struggles, disciplines, go above and beyond in doing something, and always give my best. I never liked accounting, never did, never have, probably never will? But the curriculum they have in my campus push me hard to give my best. Learning accounting in my campus is unbelievably hard. But they have a really good curriculum set, which is well designed and updated.
Sarana dan prasarana yang mendukung ?
I joined lots of campus activity in which I developed a lot of soft skill set. It helps me a lot in facing real working environments. I joined a part time job program as a marketing assistant of my campus, there I laid my finger on the first job-like experience, which was very exciting yet challenging. It helped me to advance in my internships later on.
Kualitas pengajar ?
My lecturers were all very well educated, highly dedicated people with whom I learned a lot of things. I'm not merely talking about the formal education but also about the life lessons which will be useful for all the students later in the future. Most of them are open to discussions with the students and far from self-centered personality.
CDC ?
On the top of my head what I can say is, CDC can be more open to the career possi ilities changes. I know that I came from a campus that is focused on accounting and management, but it'll be nice to give the students understanding and view that they can be whatever they want in the future. They can work in whole different field despite what their majors are. It's okay to give the view to accounting students that they can also be other things, like copywriter, product manager, product designer, digital marketing, etc. It's also okay to give view to management students that they can be other things too, such as software developer, creative director, content creator, consultant, graphic designer, and many more. Give them careerpath views that are new, promising, Gen Z-like, and are in demand.
Kesempatan untuk mengembangkan luar kampus ?
Organization is a necessity. Exchange is also great to give the students more experiences in new environments. Internship program is actually very critical now. Students with internship experience are more likely to be considered than a 'pure' freshgraduate.
