But do not be happy first, there is a reality of life that you have to face which is arguably quite "complicated" and some technical things that you must master. considering we are entering the Industrial Age 4.0 which is full of competition.

1. Know Yourself
Before you apply to a company, it would be nice to recognize yourself and your passion. to recognize yourself you can go through personality tests using DISC (Personality Test) that can get to know your potential and passion with this test. and now there are many online DISCs that you can use to know who you really are, what is passion and work that suitable for you.
2. Sharpen Skills
There is no harm in your free time you can use for positive things like sharpening skills that you have and learning new things. because basically a fresh graduate must be able to "multitask" to become a selling point and get plus value when you get an invitation to interview.
3. Remake CV
A CV is an important point when you want to apply for a job. In the process of looking for work, don't forget to always update your CV. list experiences (if any), skills you have, training, seminars that you have participated in and don't forget to always list professional references that know you well.
4. Be Wise in Social Media
The social media section is an important point in the process of finding work and developing your career. In the recruitment process sometimes HR Recruitment looks at your social media activities through social media and becomes one of the assessments in the selection process even though it is not the main assessment. And don't forget to always update your LinkedIn profile to build networks with professionals and wise people in using social media.
5. Increase adaptability
Maybe you already understand, that adaptability is the main requirement to be able to survive anywhere. Never close yourself with anyone. Because more adaptable people are sought after by companies and it's easier to learn new things
6. Looking for experience or work?
Some fresh graduates may still be confused about what their first career will look for. For a fresh graduate, look for experience as much as possible, because the experience is the "precious pearl" that you get. Never see the salary you get, the point is you have to be grateful for what you get now and as long as it's enough for your life for a month, yes you just take it because with experience that will determine your next career.
7. Exit the comfort zone
"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone" Are you quite familiar with the quote? There are many discussions about comfort zones, but almost all agree that the comfort zone will not make us move forward. As much as possible avoid complaining. One more thing, "Think out of the box". When post-campus life takes you to a new world that is different from your academic background, face it. No need to limit yourself. the point is as long as you want to learn, you can do it. The most important thing is to contribute to the best abilities you have.
8. Practising gratefulness
The last point is the ability to be grateful. No doubt, the salary nominal becomes a calculation when going through a certain job. At least, you have estimated the cost of living in the city where you work. When you get information that benefits elsewhere (with the same portion and workload turned out to be more interesting), try to think carefully before deciding to resign. Because the ability to be grateful for what you get will make you calmer, even though that calm is an important capital to be able to think clearly before determining the next steps.
Keep up the spirit for fresh graduates :)
