SEBELUM MEMBUAT CV
10. Harus selalu customize, CV yang sama belum tentu cocok untuk
didaftarkan kedua program berbeda. Misalnya CV beasiswa Fulbright
akan berbeda dengan CV untuk apply Stuned disesuaikan dengan
program yang akan kita daftar.
11. Hanya kata kata saja, tidak walk the talk. Misalnya, Ketua Himpunan
Elektro Universitas Telkom. Ini adalah contoh yang kurang baik.
Sebenarnya di bawahnya bisa ditambah dua sampai tiga baris yang
berisi tentang kegiatan yang kamu lakukan di organisasi tsb.
Berikut adalah saran Ibu Nona Pooroe, alumni Psikologi UGM dan
Harvard, salah satu konsultan HR di Frisian Flag waktu itu terkait cara
pembuatan CV dan kak Warsono penerima program exchange di Warsaw
University, Polandia dan penerima program tesis di Hokkaido University,
Jepang.
1. Format CV yang saklek itu tidak ada, jadi bebas, hanya saja
tidak dianjurkan dalam bentuk tabel-tabel karena CV seharusnya
menceritakan kepada pembacanya (dalam bentuk narasi), jadi hindari
pembuatan CV dalam bentuk tabel.
HINDARI INI!

I learned in school that the Russian Tsar, Peter the Great, went to the
Netherlands to learn how to build ships and I have always wondered why
he chose this country for his education and what else one can learn there.
Since then, I’ve tried to find out more about the Netherlands and the more
I’ve been learning, the more my motivation to study there has grown. The
educational approach that is used in the Netherlands would provide me with
the widest range of specialisations in the field of international business, as
well as a lot of practical skills which is exactly what I need. When I found
the International Business and Management Studies programme at XXXX
University, I realised that it is the best choice for me for a number of reasons.
First of all, this programme covers the business topics that interest me
the most, such as Finance, Economics, Marketing, and Communication.
As a future business leader I must be an expert in these fields, capable of
analysing and solving any practical problems I may face. I am certain that
the numerous traineeships and case assignments I will take part in during
this programme will help me to gain the necessary knowledge and skills.
Finally, this programme will help me to develop myself as a team player and
cultivate the leadership skills necessary for my future career. I will learn to be
responsible not only for myself, but also for the whole team, which I believe
is essential for a business manager.

------
Almost all my family including my uncles, aunts and cousins have their jobs
which somehow connected to the field of technology. I have grown among
intelligent people and it had great influence on the development of my
personality so since early childhood I have learnt the importance of education.
My school teachers always noted that I had good abilities in such subjects
as mathematics and physics. This increased my interest in exact sciences,
and I decided to connect my future career with technological area of activity,
wishing to gain success in the future. And if I become successful I will pay
back my parents for their warmth and loving tender, as they have been those
who have been supporting me throughout my life.
For that reason I constructed a plan for achieving this long-term aim. By
the plan I accomplished some small objectives: graduated from school in
the number of the best students and won a scholarship to study in XXXX
University of Power Engineering and Telecommunications. This year I am
going to graduate from the university, and plan to enter one of the best
universities of the world for my Masters’ degree. As it was before I started
to find one with an opportunity to win a scholarship. I spent much time
searching, and at last I chose the XXXX University among other universities
of the Netherlands.
The first acquaintance with your university began from collecting particular
information about it. From the data I had found I managed to make some
basic picture explaining why I chose it.
XXXX University is the biggest innovative centre which takes active part in
the field of fundamental and applied sciences. Furthermore, the research
investigations of students and scientists make a great contribution to the
development of high technologies in and outside the Netherlands. In addition to
investigative work the university keeps on stimulating entrepreneurial abilities
in its students. It favoured the establishment of more than 600 thousand
industrial companies which successively function on the basis of mutually
beneficial collaboration with students and research personnel of XXXX
University. Furthermore, I was astonished reading about implementations
which are conducted there. For example, the development of virtual satellite
dish or microchip with a solar cell which does not need batteries.
All the articles about achievements of the university let me conclude that
XXXX University is the most suitable institution to realize my potential. As far
as my pertinent work experience is concerned I would like to mention that
last summer was undergoing training in local telecommunication company
for 5 weeks. This company devotes itself to providing wireless broadband
Internet access to its customers. As a trainee I had many duties starting from
reconfiguring equipment and finishing by arriving to a certain client to set
up a network. During the training I managed to acquire some specific skills,
for example, how to organize conduit in different kinds of buildings or how
exactly a cable laying is implemented. Likewise, I got to know the structure
of telecommunication agency. In addition, I learnt the principles of team work
and improved my communicative abilities. As a result, after completion of the
training I was given a qualification of assistant engineer.
With respect to my future career, as I mentioned before the fact, that XXXX
University links its activity with investigative work and at the same time
develop entrepreneurial skills of its students, is a fundamental reason of why
I desire to study exactly here. The question is that our nation is lack of highly
qualified specialists in the field of telecommunication.

Sayangnya, surat tersebut tak jarang hanya berisi hal yang sifatnya
umum-umum saja. Oleh sebab kesibukan yang tinggi, pihak penulis surat
boleh jadi telah memiliki semacam ‘master’ surat rekomendasi. Sehingga
apabila ada yang minta dibuatkan, cukup ganti nama, edit, “poles” sedikit,
lalu jadi. Praktis, namun kekuatan surat menjadi lemah karena berbagai hal
spesifik yang semestinya bisa ditonjolkan justru tidak tertuang.
Lantas apa yang bisa kita lakukan? Sembari minta dibuatkan surat
rekomendasi, saran saya sampaikan pada mereka: saya sudah buatkan
konsepnya! Dengan cara ini, berbagai detail bisa tertuang dengan baik,
dan atasan atau mantan dosen tinggal mengoreksi saja (kecuali jika pihak
beasiswa sudah menyediakan formatnya, maka lain cerita). Jika dianggap
sudah oke, mereka tinggal tanda tangan (ini seringkali menjadi win-
win solution: kita diuntungkan karena konten surat menjadi lebih “kaya”,
sementara pemberi rekomendasi diringankan pekerjaannya karena konsep
surat sudah disediakan).
Letter of Recommendation
I know Mr. Joko Pamungkas since 2005 when he was an S1 student (in the
Indonesian system almost equivalent to B.Sc.) at the Jenderal Soedirman
University (UNSOED) in Purwokerto, Indonesia. At that time he joined our
international research team investigating the effects of human activities on
the ecology of the Segara Anakan Lagoon in south central Java, Indonesia.
This project forms cluster 2 of the Indonesian – German research and
education programme SPICE (Science for the Protection of Indonesian
Coastal Marine Ecosystems) and is being coordinated by Dr. Edy Yuwono
(UNSOED) on the Indonesian side and by me on the German side.
Between February 2005 and January 2007, Mr. Joko Pamungkas participated
in a number of research and education activities within the frame of our
bilateral project. He participated in sampling campaigns in the Segara
Anakan Lagoon and laboratory work at the Biology Faculty of UNSOED. He
organized field trips and operated and maintained scientific gear to obtain
water, sediment and benthos samples. His ability to work self-dependent
and to take responsibility contributed largely to a smooth continuation of
field work even in between joint German-Indonesian sampling campaigns.
In the field he helped in the collection, sieving and sorting of macrobenthos
samples and in the laboratory he contributed to the taxonomic identification
of macrobenthic organisms.
Mr. Joko Pamungkas performed his S1 study also within the frame of the
SPICE project. His thesis entitled “Macrobenthos community in the Segara

Lalu bagaimana kita tahu bahwa proposal riset kita sudah pantas?
Apa indikatornya? Setiap universitas biasanya memiliki standar sendiri,
namun secara umum bobot untuk studi S3 yang harus tertuang dalam
proposal meliputi dua aspek, yakni novelty dan achievable. Di sini, novelty
berarti aspek kebaruan: studi S3 kita diwajibkan memberikan kontribusi
yang orisinil kepada sains. Sementara itu, achievable bermakna bahwa
studi tersebut harus realistis dan dapat dirampungkan dalam kurun waktu
tertentu (lazimnya 3-4 tahun), dengan mempertimbangkan berbagai faktor
(misalnya anggaran dana, fasilitas laboratorium, dan berbagai aspek serta
perhitungan lainnya). Biasanya tiap kampus juga punya format sendiri
sendiri, tapi in General, misal tidak ada formatnya, maka proposal Riset
untuk S2 setidaknya harus mengandung ini:
1. Abstract
2. Background/Problem statement
3. Literatur review/ State of the art
4. Research Question
5. Methodology
6. References
Research Proposal kan kita harus riset dulu tuh, ya setidaknya baca-
baca penelitian sebelumnya jadi kita tahu state of the artnya saat ini. Nah
untuk menulis study plan juga perlu riset, riset kenapa harus ambil matkul
itu, apa tujuannya, kedepan mau buat apa, dan kenapa harus di kampus itu,
itu semua kan harus riset terlebih dahulu.
1. Follow the rules (kalo ada formatnya dan biasanya ada, harus ikut
format)-> kembali ke hal penting: baca guidelines dengan hati-hati
2. Periksa dengan teliti jangan sampai ada typo, salah grammar, dsb
3. Berani show off dan confidence, tunjukan dirimu tapi jangan sampai
berlebih-lebihan
4. Realistic dengan proposal riset (jangan sampai menulis hal-hal yang
unrealistic)
5. Jangan mendadak!
6. Endapkan tulisan anda ½ minggu kemudian cek lagi
7. Minta second opinion dari teman/kolega
8. Minta review ke siapa-lah, bias teman yang bagus grammarnya atau
teman yang sudah punya experience keterima aplikasinya atau senior
9. Benar-benar luangkan waktu untuk aplikasi, jangan asal-asalan
BACKGROUND
The knowledge source, the knowledge transfer process, and the knowledge
recipient have been categorized as the three principle elements of a
knowledge-management system (Wiig1995). As knowledge retention
and distribution have always been the concern of organizations and their
managers, sophisticated techniques and systems have been designed for
managing the knowledge source and knowledge transfer (Davenport and
Prusak, 1998; Wiig, 1995). One of the main recent streams of research in
international business is concerned with knowledge-management within
multinational corporations, especially knowledge transfer between parent
firm and subsidiaries. For these firms, and for research on them, cross-
border knowledge transfer and implementation have become hot topics.
For most multinational companies, transferring knowledge is important for
self-improvement and development, both in home and in host markets.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Buckley and Casson (1976) advocated the very existence of a MNC lies
in its ability to internalize externalities by putting together resources and
activities at a more efficient rate than markets do. According to Kogut
and Zander (1993), MNCs were defined as a social community in which
knowledge exists among cooperating members; the productive knowledge
of this community was defined as competitive advantage. Nowadays MNCs
are widely viewed as the most efficient mechanisms for the international
transfer of tacit knowledge; based on this advantage, MNCs are able to
create and dynamically transform networks of information involving multi-
location data-inputs, centralize and disperse information processing and
This concern can be addressed theoretically with the ‘knowledge based view’.
This explains how firms grow and gain competitiveness through creating
and learning know-how, and serves as an analytical tool that presents an
evolutionary view of firm (Kogut and Zander, 1992, 1993; Spender, 1996).
Although the knowledge based view is interested in the humans who play
a major role in the process of knowledge creation, transfer, and acquisition
within the organization (Conner and Prahalad 1996; Grant,1996), it hints
at the term ‘knowledge learning’ to describe the complete process of
knowledge transfer in acquisitions, join-ventures and strategic alliances.
