he did not forget the past. Therefore, she
was now keen to carry out various social
activities. Starting from PMI, the
Indonesian Humanitarian Committee,
member of the Board of Trustees,
University of Indonesia, and so on. “Now
my time more than 50% I devote to
social activities,” he said.

as Trans TV, Trans7. Third-based natural
resources.

Ten Steps to Find a New Job
How to Get a Job
By Alison Doyle , About.com Guide
Ten steps you can take to find a new job,
including where to look for jobs, the top
job sites, how to use your connections,
how to ace the interview, how to follow
up, and more advice on how to get a job.
Focus Your Job Search
Use the job search engines to find jobs by
using keywords that match your interests
and the location where you want to work.
Narrowing your search criteria will help
you focus your job search and will give
you more relevant job listings to review
and less non-relevant job listings to weed
through.
Build Your Brand
Create profiles on LinkedIn, Facebook,
and VisualCV. A strong personal brand
that portrays you in a professional light
will provide recruiters, employers, and
contacts with a strong positive impression
of you as a candidate they should be
interested in.
Connect With Your Contacts
Now that you've created profiles on
networking sites, use them. Connect with
everyone you know, because you never
know which contact may be able to help
you with your job search or put you in
touch with someone who can.
Use Job Search Tools
There are a variety of widgets, gadgets,
and tools that will help expedite your job
search and manage your career. Use
them to organize your job search and save
valuable job searching time.
Create a List of Companies
Do you have a list of companies you
would like to work for? It's a good idea to
research company information and create
a list of companies to target in your job
search. All the information you need is
available on the web, and it's easy to find
detailed information about potential
employers online.
Find Job Listings
Check job search engine sites, job banks,
company web sites, networking sites,
niche job sites, and sites listed by type of
job. Consider working with a recruiter to
maximize your opportunities.
Target Your Resume and Cover
Letter
It's important to take the time to write
targeted resumes and cover letters that
specifically link your qualifications to the
hiring criteria for the jobs you are
applying for. The hiring manager will be
able to see, at a glance, why, and how,
you are qualified for the job. You'll have a
much better chance of getting an
interview than if you send a generic letter
and resume.
Ace the Interview
Research the company before you go for
the interview, dress appropriately,
practice answering and asking interview
questions, and make a concerted effort to
impress the interviewer with your skills,
experience, confidence, and expertise.
Follow Up
It's important to follow up after an
interview by thanking everyone you met
with. Also reiterate your interest in the
position and remind the hiring manager
why you're an excellent candidate for the
job.
Accept (or Decline) a Job Offer
When you receive a job offer , it's
important to take the time to carefully
evaluate the offer so you are making an
educated decision to accept, or to reject,
the offer. You don't have to accept a job
just because it was offered to you, but do
carefully evalute it and if you decline, do
so politely.

Arnold Sebastian Egg : Indonesia, a
promising market for E Commerce
T. Hidayat, Contributor, Jakarta | Sat,
10/08/2011 1:18 PM |
Online business is still a mystery to many
Indonesians, so it is not surprising that
they are often dismissive when they hear
that someone is going into online
business. Arnold Sebastian Egg also
observed the question mark on people’s
faces when he first started to seriously
pursue the business.
But the man from the nation of
windmills (Holland) did not give up easily
as he was fully convinced of the bright
future of online business here in
Indonesia, which according to him is a
promising market for e-Commerce. His
conviction is based on the fact that the
archipelagic nation can be unified
through Internet technology.
When Arnold first set up the first online
shop in Indonesia, TokoBagus.com in
2005 he started his business from the
island of Bali. The island of Bali, in his
view, is not only a popular tourism
destination, but also lends much support
to new businesses, especially those that
are technology based. “At first it was
only a small office in Bali,” he recalled
while saying that the existence of an
online shop is not limited to space as
long as it has good infrastructure
support.
Toko Bagus is indeed not an online store.
“The transactions are still done offline,”
said Arnold. He added that currently
Indonesia is not ready with a website
with a full e-commerce system as there
are still many bugs in the payment
system and the level of consumer trust
in online transactions is still very low.
“These are the reasons we have made
TokoBagus.com more like an online
catalog,” he explained.
Arnold has conducted aggressive
awareness campaigns and promotions
about TokoBagus.com to get as many
members as possible and to convince
them that online business can be
profitable.
To further convince consumers and the
public in general TokoBagus.com has also
prepared rules and regulations for online
business so that customers feel more
secure about their transactions.
Slowly but surely Arnold’s efforts are
bearing positive fruit. The popularity of
TokoBagus.com continues to rise and
today it is the largest, most complete,
most popular free online site in
Indonesia. It has various categories of
advertisements covering numerous
products and services. Every day
Tokobagus.com receives as many as
10,000 new ads. Based on a survey
released by alexa.com (for site rates) as
per March 27, 2011 Tokobagus.com is
number 23 among the sites most visited
in Indonesia.
Arnold said that Tokobagus.com has a
number of superior features. It is user
friendly, has a large variety of products
and services and live chat customer
service. All these features meet
customer requirements based on an
internal survey.
Tokobagus.com also tried television
advertising, however, according to Arnold
it was not very effective.”To reach the
online market our strategy has to be
through digital marketing,” he explained.
And, since 2008 Tokobagus.com has
been quite aggressive in widening its
market.
He said another plus point is the free
space given to vendors. “We give them
the space free. Their promos are
considered ads and every free ad is
organized according to when it is
received so that the advertiser of today’s
ad will appear before the ad of a vendor
that placed an ad the day before,” he
said.
Tokobagus.com is enjoying rapid growth
with its current 700,000 plus members.
“But that is the total number of
members from the start while only 40
percent are active,” he said at Hotel
Indonesia.
At present the store has 40 employees.
The office moved from Denpasar to
Jakarta in January 2011. “Our
consideration in moving was easier
access,” he said adding that here
Tokobagus.com can coordinate more
easily with its business partners.
Arnold explained that Tokobagus.com
does not share any profits from
transactions between the vendor and the
buyer on its site.”This kind of website is
also free in other countries,” he said. He
explained that transactions take place
directly between consumers (consumer
to consumer — C to C) or business to
consumer (B to C).
For Arnold the high quality of the
products and customer satisfaction is
very important so that he can filter
fraudulent advertisers by rechecking
first. “What is most important is our
customers’ trust in us,” said Arnold who
is applying for Indonesian citizenship.
He said that according to a survey
transaction as per December 2010 were
at Rp 300 billion. “This is only for
products with a small value and does not
include other commodities like property
and automotive, because if we include all
the results of the survey would not be
valid,” said the graduate of
telecommunications from James Madison
University.
He said he has not focused on return of
investment. “TokoBagus.com is still in
the developing stage so profit is not yet
our focus,” said Arnold.
However, he said, that although making
profit was not yet the focus
TokoBagus.com had a clear revenue
source, which was from the numerous
ads on its web pages.
TokoBagus.com also charges its
members who wish to use its promo
points to boost sales. Promo points are
sold for Rp20,000 for 20 points,
Rp50,000 for 50 promo points and
Rp.100,000 for 100 points.

success story of Bob sadino

Bob Sadino (Lampung, March 9, 1933), or fondly called om Bob, was a businessman from Indonesia who do business in the field of food and livestock. He is the owner of the business network and Kemchick Kemfood. In many occasions, he was often seen using a short-sleeved shirt and shorts that became his trademark. Bob Sadino born from an affluent family. He was the youngest of five children. When his parents died, Bob who was then 19 years old inherited all the wealth his family because the other siblings are considered to settle down.

Bob then spent most of his money to travel around the world. On his way, he stopped in the Netherlands and settled for approximately 9 years. There, he worked in London Lylod in Amsterdam and also in Hamburg, Germany. While living in Holland, Bob met his life partner, Soelami Soejoed.

In 1967, Bob and his family returned to Indonesia. He brought along his two Mercedes, made in the 1960s. One of them he sold to buy land in Kemang, South Jakarta, while others still he kept. After a long stay and live in Indonesia, Bob decided to quit his job because he has the determination to work independently.

First job in doing it after leaving the company is renting a car Mercedes that he had, he himself became his driver. But unfortunately, once he got an accident that resulted in his car badly damaged. Since no money to fix it, Bob turned the work into a mason. His salary when it is only Rp.100. He also had experienced depression due to life stressors experienced.

One day, his friend Bob suggested raising chickens to fight his depression. Bob's interested. When raising chickens that's emerging entrepreneurial inspiration. He watched the life of the chickens flocks. He was inspired, the chicken can only fight for life, of human being can, too.

As a chicken farmer, Bob and his wife, every day selling a few kilograms of eggs. Within one and a half years, he and his wife have many customers, especially foreigners, because they are fluent in English. Bob and his wife lived in the area of ​​Kemang, Jakarta, where there are many foreigners settled.

Not infrequently the couple are insulted customers, maid stranger though. But they mirror on ourselves, improve the service. Drastic changes were to happen to Bob, from feudal to private servants. After that, over time the silver-haired Bob, became sole owner of the supermarket (the supermarket) Kem Chicks. He always performed with simple short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

Bob's supermarket business is growing rapidly, reaching into agribusiness, especially horticulture, managing vegetable gardens for the consumption of foreigners in Indonesia.Therefore he also formed a partnership with farmers in some areas.

Bob believes that every step of success is always preceded failures. Entrepreneurial journey is not as smooth as it seems. He and his wife often turned upside down. For him money is not the number one. The important thing is the willingness, commitment, daring to seek and seize opportunities.

In the mind of someone doing something develops, the plan should not always raw and stiff, which is in one's self is the development of what he had done. The weakness of many, too many thinkers to make a plan so that he did not immediately step. "The most important action," said Bob.

Bob's success is inseparable from ignorance, so he immediately jumped into the field.After ups and downs, Bob skilled and master the field. Bob the success of the process is different from the prevalence, it should start from the science and practice, and become skilled and professional.
According to Bob, many people who started from the knowledge, thinking and acting all-powerful, arrogant, because it feels to have knowledge than others.

While Bob was always flexible to customers, listen to suggestions and complaints. With an attitude like that Bob won the sympathy of customers and are able to create a market.According to Bob, customer satisfaction will create self-gratification. So he always tried his best to serve customers.

Bob put his company like a family. Kem Chicks All family members should respect each other, nothing major, all have a function and strength.

Back to the homeland in 1967, after many years in Europe with the last job as an employee Djakarta Lloyd in Amsterdam and Hamburg, Bob, the youngest of five children, had only one determination, self-employed. His father, Sadino, Solo man who became head teacher in junior high and high school Tanjungkarang, died when Bob was 19.

Capital which he had brought from Europe, two Mercedes sedans made in the 1960s.One he sold to buy land in Kemang, South Jakarta. At that time, Kemang area quiet, still lie fields and gardens. While other car ditaksikan, Bob own driver.

Once, the car was rented. Apparently, not money back, but the news is devastating car accident. "My heart collapsed," said Bob. Loss of income sources, Bob then worked so construction workers. In fact, if he wished, his wife, Soelami Soejoed, experienced as a secretary in the foreign countries, could save the situation. But Bob insisted, "I am the head of the family. I have to make a living. "

To quiet the mind, Bob receives gift of 50 chickens race acquaintances, Sri Mulyono Herlambang. From here Bob climb: He managed to become sole owner and businessman Kem Chicks vegetable cultivation hydroponic system.

Uncle Bob, close calls for his men, would not move beyond the food business. For him, a field that ditekuninya now there is no end. Therefore he did not want to fantasize that all sorts.

Bob Sadino currently has issued a book on how to start a business and he often says something out of the ordinary for someone who wants to succeed in business ..

one of the famous words of Bob Sadino is

"Stupid way to be an entrepreneur ...."ee

Everyone has their go-to strategy for
interview preparation. Mine has a success
rate of 100%. That’s right. Every time I
have interviewed for a job, I’ve gotten an
offer. Want to know how I do it?
1. Research. While you may not know
the exact questions that will be asked
during an interview, you can get an idea
from the job posting, conversations with
recruiters, or your own connections in the
industry what the typical concerns are for
the type of position you are aiming for,
then shape your answers to fit
accordingly. The more you know about
the position and the company, the better
you can present yourself as a solution for
them. A little research can make the
difference between a well-organized
interview and, well, a hot mess.
2. Write the Script. Communications
pros know that every press interview is
an opportunity to get across certain key
messages, and they use a written briefing
document to prepare the spokesperson
for the reporter’s questions. Likewise, a
job interview is your chance to reinforce
the points where you are the strongest,
address any weaknesses on your own
terms and set the stage for an offer.
Create your own briefing document,
basically a script outline of what you want
to say, that speaks to your own key
messages. Not sure what your messages
are? Look at your resume — what skills
did your previous positions require? What
questions might an employer have about
your work? Where do you want your
career to go from here? What do you
bring to the table that is valuable to the
employer? Your key messages should all
point to you being the right person for
this job, and creating a script that
reinforces those messages will help the
employer believe it, too.
3. Dress It Up. You now have a basic
outline of the topics you should cover in
your interview responses. Take some
time to craft an anecdote or pinpoint the
metrics that can strengthen each point.
Got a great example of your leadership
skills? Jot the story down in a few lines,
so you have it top-of-mind during the
interview. Did site traffic double after
your recent blog post? Get the exact
numbers to showcase the impact you
might have on your potential employer’s
business. By supporting your key
messages with anecdotes and data,
you’re repeating and reinforcing your
overarching message that you are the
right person for this position.
4. Practice. Now, you’ve got a script that
outlines a few key messages, supported
by anecdotes and data that reinforce
those messages. Most of the time, you
don’t have the luxury of having the script
in front of you during the actual interview
(nor would you want to be perceived as
“reading” your responses), so give
yourself some time with the material.
Practice telling your stories out loud.
Repeat the data points multiple times.
Ask a friend to grill you on the “hard”
questions until you can answer them
without breaking a sweat. Once you have
your key messages and supporting points
comfortably memorized, you should be
ready to handle almost anything an
interviewer throws at you.
5. Go Live. You’ve researched the
position, prepared the script, and
committed it to memory. But here’s
where the fun begins: the interviewer
doesn’t have your script. You may not
have accurately pinpointed exactly what
they wanted from this conversation, and
the questions may come fast and furious
and may be not at all what you expected.
In the live interview, you’ve got to take
those key messages and look for
opportunities to weave them into the
conversation you are actually having. Stay
in the moment and respond to the
questions that you are asked, while
keeping one finger on the pulse of your
script. Most of the time, you’ll find that
the comments, anecdotes and metrics
you’ve prepared fit nicely into the
questions the interviewer is asking. Get
those key messages across, and you’ll
own the interview.
This isn’t to say that I haven’t had bad
interviews. Believe me–I had one that
was so awful (and frazzled me so badly)
that afterwards I left my portfolio and
resume copies on the roof of my car. I
didn’t even notice until I drove away and
got on the highway. (To anyone who
ended up with copies of my resume
wooshing past your windshield, I’m
terribly sorry!) But, less than 48 hours
later, the CEO called to offer me a job.
When I asked him why he thought I was a
good fit for the position, he repeated back
to me 3 of the 4 key messages I had
shared during the interview .
And the best part of having a successful
interview? It puts you in the enviable
position of choosing what jobs you want–
and not the other way around
