How To Apply For a Job

I'll tell you how to apply for a job start from the introduction, cv until the cover letter.

1. The Introduction

Halo, Good morning mam. Let me introduce myself. My name is Taufika Aristya Putri. You can call me Fika. I was born in Bekasi, October 28^th 1996. It means that I’m 19 years old right now. I live in Rawalumbu, Bekasi. My religion is moslem. I was the third child of four sisters. I am still studying at Gunadarma University and sitting on the fifth semester. My last GPA is 3.80. I am here because I get email to be present at the interview session and I am interested in the position of Internal Auditor Junior in this company, PT. Bank BNI Syariah. I have huge passion on Auditor, that is the only reason why I apply this job. I am even not yet finished with my study, but I have an intention of trying to get a job while studying. I will do my best to my job. 

2. Curriculum Vitae (CV)

Curriculum Vitae (CV) has a role that is meaningful to you and the company. Do not make the CV seem unremarkable but make creative and interesting CV who were able to present your skills. Usually HRD selection in the company did not have much time to read the CV. So make clear, creative, quick and simple because it will allow you as well as you because companies can get a picture of yourself more fully. Writing a good CV can be one of the toughest challenges of job hunting. Most employers spend just a few seconds scanning each CV before sticking it in the 'Yes' or 'No' pile.

Tips for writing a CV:

a. Keep it real!

Employers spend, on average, just 8 seconds looking at any one CV, and a surefire way of landing yourself on the no pile is to send them your entire life story. Keep it punchy, to the point, and save those niggly little details for the interview.

b. Tailor it

We've all done it. Whizzed the same CV out to lots of employers to save time... Stop! Take the time to change your CV for each role that you apply for. Research the company and use the job advert to work out EXACTLY what skills you should point out to them. They will appreciate the obvious effort.

c. Include a personal statement

Don’t just assume an employer will see how your experience relates to their job. Instead, use a short personal statement to explain why you are the best person for the job. This should be reflected in your cover letter as well see our tips to the perfect cover letter.

d. Keep it current

You should keep your CV up-to-date whether you’re looking for a job or not. Every time something significant occurs in your career, record it so you don't later forget something that could be important.

e. Make it look good

    We live in a world where image is everything, and that also goes for your CV. Take some time to pretty it up... Use bullet points and keep sentences short. Use the graphic design trick of leaving plenty of white space around text and between categories to make the layout easy on the eye. Alternatively, get creative with your job application!

3. Cover Letter

One of the most important parts to landing that dream gig is the cover letter. Despite how good your resume is, a bad cover letter can land you in the rejection pile.

Tips for writing a Cover Letter:

a. Address the Cover Letter to the Right Person

Even if the job advertisement doesn’t name a specific contact at the company, do your research and address your cover letter to the specific person who will be reading it. Many technology companies are good about listing their staff either on their own websites or their social media sites. Addressing your letter to a specific person shows that you’ve done legwork and are truly interested in working with the people at the company.

b. Explain Your Connection

If you’ve been referred to the company by a specific person or found out about the job from someone connected to the company, introduce that in the first paragraph. You want to give yourself some context and a leg up.

c. Edit Your CV

Before you send your cover letter, ensure that your CV is up to date. It should include all relevant and recent work that might relate to the job that you’re applying for. Remove old and irrelevant work before potential employers see it.

d. Be Specific About Skills

Many skilled people work in the graphic design and development worlds. Listing the programs, programming languages, etc. you are adept in using is a plus when writing a cover letter.

e. Request an Interview

You haven’t just written a cover letter to share information with the potential employer, you want an interview. So ask for it! Tell the company staffers that you would love to discuss the job with them more and show them why you are the best candidate for it in person.
