Catholic Student Community (SKK) FH UNAIR held a webinar inviting alums with achievements on Sunday (20/11/2022). The theme raised was related to career talk after obtaining a law degree titled “Career Preparation for a Better Generation.” Two presenters were presented at the activity.
The first speaker was Kathrine Abidea Salim, S.H., now an Associate at SSEK Indonesian Legal Consultant. The 2018 class alumnus said that there were three things that students had to do while in college. The first is to find what you want to do. Namely, students must be able to know that they are studying to achieve their goals. She admits that finding out about this takes work; therefore, students must be actively exposed to various activities offered by their faculties.
“Second is finding the circle you like. We here must be surrounded by people who can be our support system and encourage us to be more active in various activities. The third is to create a vision and mission regarding what we want and get while studying in college. The creation of this vision and mission can focus where we should go after graduation, “said the 2018 batch alumni.
The second speaker is Yolanda Hosana, S.H., now an Associate at SKY Law Firm. Yolanda said that being organized is a critical thing to do in lectures. According to her, GPA is usually not the first thing to highlight, but the organizational experience. She also added that it would be better to participate in competitions, such as moot court contests during college. This is because managerial experience and competition are highlighted in the curriculum vitae (CV).
“This experience can also train us to be better at time management. This is important when we step on the stage of writing a thesis, especially if friends want to graduate in 3.5 years. The quality of your CV can also determine the quality of your relationships with alumni and people who can support your future career,” said the 2018 batch alumni.
