On (21/02) Industrial Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) held a workshop entitled Mastering CV, Social Media & Tools: Kickstart to Your Career Success! This activity took place in the DSK&E Laboratory and was attended by 10 students. The workshop started at 13.45 WIB.

This workshop presented Vicky Caneca, S.T., MBA, who is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MyMedica.id and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Caneca Food Factory (FMCG & Retail), as the main speaker.

Previously, participants were asked to bring their Curriculum Vitae (CV) which would then be reviewed in detail.

In addition to discussing CV preparation and job interview simulations, the workshop also highlighted the importance of building personal branding in the digital era. Vicky emphasized that a digital track record, especially through platforms such as LinkedIn, can be a determining factor in attracting the attention of recruiters. Therefore, students are encouraged to be more active in managing their professional image and expanding their network through digital platforms.

In the next session, Vicky gave a more in-depth presentation on strategies to create an attractive CV that meets the standards of the company’s Human Resource Department (HRD). She also shared tips on optimizing your LinkedIn profile, including how to showcase your experience, skills, and build connections that are relevant to the industry you are interested in.

Ratih Dianingtyas Kurnia, S.T., Ph.D., as the representative lecturer of the study program, supervised the event and expressed her hopes for this activity. “This first meeting is the first step in introducing the event to students. If it gets a positive response, this activity will continue in the future,” he said.

This workshop provides insight for students in compiling a good CV before graduation. With this session, students can understand the experience and certifications that need to be included to be more competitive in the world of work.
