C. Aktivitas Pembelajaran

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

Hai, siswa-siswa Indonesia yang tangguh!

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.

Activity 1 (4 JP)

Read this job vacancy, and then state whether the following statements
are True (T) or False (F).

5. If one has read the job vacancy and he is
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 peryataan-peryataan dengan

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.

Pembelajaran Berbasis Aktivitas

Anak-anak, surat lamaran kerja tidak berdiri sendiri tetapi surat tersebut harus
diikuti dengan Curiculum Vitae (CV). Curiculum Vitae adalah selembar kertas
lain yang berisi informasi dan data diri tentang si pelamar kerja tentang profil,
pendidikan, pengalaman kerja dan informasi lain dari sipelamar kerja.

Bacalah dengan cermat Curriculum Vitae (CV) di bawah ini, kemudian jawablah

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

A CV (short for the Latin phrase curriculum vitae, which means “course of life”) is a
detailed document highlighting your professional and academic history. CVs typically
include information like work experience, achievements and awards, scholarships or
grants you’ve earned, coursework, research projects and publications of your work.

4. RESUME

A resume (also spelled résumé) is a formal document that serves to show a


person’s career background and skills. In most cases, it’s created in order to
help a candidate to land a new job. A traditional resume consists of a
professional summary, work history, and education sections. It works like your
job hunt marketing document.

The purpose of a resume is to introduce yourself to employers, present your


qualifications, and secure an interview. The goal of writing a resume is to
showcase your experience, education, and skills in a standardized format which
is easy for recruiters to read.
