Why Are Portfolios Important?<\/h3>\n

The workshop began by emphasizing the importance of having a portfolio or CV that meets industry standards. Ms. Dhea explained that a CV or portfolio is not just a formality, but a key tool to demonstrate a student\u2019s quality, experience, and readiness to potential employers.<\/p>\n

\u201cA CV is your first door into the working world. Without a good CV, your potential might never be seen,\u201d said Ms. Dhea in front of hundreds of students gathered in the school hall.<\/p>\n

She added that although vocational students may not have much work experience yet, they can still stand out by showcasing:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    School projects or internships (PKL)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Training or competency certificates<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Participation in organizations or extracurricular activities<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      Ms. Dhea also shared examples of good CVs and compared them to ones that needed improvement, so students could immediately see the differences and understand how to enhance their own CVs.<\/p>\n

      Hands-On Practice and CV Reviews<\/h3>\n

      One of the workshop\u2019s key highlights was the hands-on session, where students were asked to create or update their CVs on the spot after receiving the material.<\/p>\n

      The Career.Support team then collected the CVs for review and provided direct feedback. This process not only helped students identify their mistakes and areas for improvement but also gave them a realistic experience of a professional recruitment process.<\/p>\n

      \u201cI didn\u2019t expect to get direct feedback from professionals. I realized there\u2019s still a lot I need to improve, especially in explaining my internship experience,\u201d said a Computer and Network Engineering student during the review session.<\/p>\n

      Growing Enthusiasm and Confidence<\/h3>\n

      Throughout the workshop, the atmosphere was interactive and lively. Students eagerly raised their hands, asked questions, and sought direct feedback on their CVs. Many admitted this was their first time receiving such an in-depth training.<\/p>\n

      The principal of SMK Dinamika Pembangunan 1 Jakarta also expressed appreciation to the Career.Support team.
      \u201cWe are very grateful for this training. It\u2019s not just about how to write a CV, but also about shaping our students\u2019 mindset and confidence in facing the workforce,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

      Meanwhile, Ms. Dhea concluded the session with an inspiring message:
      \u201cDon\u2019t wait until you graduate to start learning how to write a CV. Preparing now will give you a head start. The job market needs young people who are ready and know how to showcase their potential.\u201d<\/p>\n
