presented the proposal with the commercial / CSR heads. That year, we have target of 10 companies

TRIAL MODE a valid license will remove this message. See the keywords property of this PDF for more information.
I was a participant of KOMPeK 14, thats why I aspire to be one of the leaders in it. In KOMPeK 17, the
project officer chose me as head of Bureau. Back then, there were 2 main focus: organizational
achievement as a whole and also the previous committee experience. These two were my KPIs.
I was the one who developed from scratch the proper administration system, from secretarial aspects to
the delivery of project proposals. Not only system development, but also the execution itself. As we
know, most of the time, planning without execution is nonsense. So I really make sure that the system
ran well, and fully implemented
The dean of FEUI (Bapak Dekan Ganteng) also gave me a high recognition, we reached more than 500
high schools from Sabang to Merauke and brought them to Jakarta

Are no more than two different fonts used? any more than this looks messy. Sans fonts look clearer on the screen, so a good
choice is Arial 10 points for your body text.
Are you using larger fonts for subheadings such as education, work and interests? 14 points Arial is a good size for these. A
classy dark (so it photocopies easily) colour adds visual Interest and makes your CV stand out
Are bold or italic used to draw eye to key points?

q Is this email address sensible and businesslike? (Not akuanakuiganteng@gnumail.com)

q Is there evidence of serious commitment to at least one activity? This suggests that you have the determination to carry things

Is there organizing or leadership experience/evidence of taking responsibility and the initiative? These will be looked for most
management and professional roles.

Interest

and organi-zation

research into the
role/ company;
clarifies major
criteria (degree)
Bo Cuan Gapapa's recent acquisition of JNA has captured my interest and in particular the subsequent
streamlining of the logistic business operations. Having recently completed my Bachelors of Science,
majoring in Math & Stats, at The University of Indonesia, I look forward to putting in practice my
quantitative and computer methods skills to optimise business processes, thereby keeping Bo Cuan
Gapapa a step ahead of the competition.
Three years' experience as a part-time customer service officer in Tokopedia has equipped me with welldeveloped oral and written communication skills. Dealing with customer enquiries and issues I honed my
interpersonal and conflict resolution skills. Additionally, during my summer vacation work this past year, I
gained experience with a start-up company where I designed a user-friendly database to optimize the
online order process. Going on study exchange my 2nd year and a recent 3 month working holiday to US
demonstrate my initiative and genuine interest in international issues.
