“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.” –Napoleon Hill

Anak-anakku, dalam masa pandemi seperti ini, banyak sekali orang yang kehilangan
mata pencaharian mereka. Bisnis menjadi berhenti dan perusahaan terpaksa harus
merumahkan pekerja-pekerjanya. Namun, ada juga usaha-usaha yang
membutuhkan pekerja-pekerja yang dapat mengambil peluang usaha di masa
pandemi seperti ini. Mereka tetap harus bersaing mencari kerja. Oleh sebab itu, para
pencari lowongan kerja harus dapat membuat surat lamaran kerja yang baik, agar
peluang diterima menjadi lebih besar.

Apakah kalian sudah siap belajar? Sebelum kalian mulai belajar, alangkah baiknya
kalian berdoa terlebih dahulu.

Apabila seseorang ingin melamar sebuah pekerjaan, apakah dia langsung menulis
surat lamaran kerja? Tidak, bukan? Dia akan mencari terlebih dahulu iklan
lowongan kerja entah itu di surat kabar,di tempat-tempat yang ada pengumuman
lowongan kerjanya atau entah itu di internet . Kemudian dia akan memilih lowongan
kerja mana yang cocok dengan kompetensinya.

Nah, amatilah dengan saksama iklan lowongan kerja (Job Vacancy) di bawah ini,
kemudian tentukan apakah pernyataan-pernyataan di bawah ini benar atau salah.

5. If one has read the job vacancy and he is V
 No Statements True(T False(F)
)
interested in the position, he will surely apply
for the job.

Apakah kalian sudah mengerti sekarang tujuan sebuah iklan lowongan kerja? Nah,
sesudah pelamar kerja memahami iklan lowongan kerja dengan benar, mulailah dia
menulis surat lamaran kerja dengan memperhatikan kaidah-kaidah yang berlaku.
Bacalah contoh surat lamaran kerja (application letter) di bawah ini dengan
saksama. Kemudian lengkapilah pernyataan-pernyataan dengan informasi yang
terdapat pada surat.

Complete the statements with the information from the application letter
below.

1. The topic of the text above is about Job application letter.

2. The purpose of the application letter above is to say the intent to apply for a
certain job or a position.

a) Qualification, experience, skill.
b) Technical abilities, competence.

educational history as Bachelor of Economy and Business is very suitable for the

Dengan menjawab pertanyaan- pertanyaan di atas, apakah kalian mengerti isi surat

Apakah kalian kini telah memahami langkah-langkah penulisan surat lamaran kerja?
Mudah atau susah? Apapun itu, kalian harus tetap semangat dalam belajar, dan
pantang meyerah.

Tahukah kalian bahwa surat lamaran kerja disusun dengan menggunakan bahasa
baku? Bahasa baku penulisan surat lamaran kerja tidak sama dengan bahasa
penulisan surat pribadi. Bahasanya resmi (formal). Kalian diminta untuk mencari
padan kata untuk sejumlah ungkapan-ungkapan yang lazim dipakai dalam surat
lamaran kerja diatas.

Match the expressions used in the application letter with their appropriate
meanings.

talents of applicants who have relevance to what the company really needs.

Dear Mr. Alta:

I am a junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering at Manhattan College in

As my resume indicates, I have both hands-on and office experience in the

engineering field, as well as familiarity with drafting and computer application.
I also have HVAC design and fabrication experience through a prior
internship. Further more, I am motivated, hardworking, and I learn quickly. I
will be available on a full-time basis from mid May until late August and quite
possibly several hours a week during the school year.

I am very interested in the hand-on aspect of this internship, and from what I
read I believe that such a position at PMTM would provide me with truly
 valuable experience. I would appreciate a few minutes of your time to further
discuss this internship opportunity. I will call you during the week of January
