After Graduation, What’s Next?

Are you ready for what lies ahead once you stroll across the graduation stage? Will you be able to steer yourself through the job hunt and, ultimately, your first job? Answer these six questions to find out.


Do You Know What You Want?

You might think employers will appreciate your “I’m willing to do or learn anything” approach to getting a job. However, most employers interpret that as “I’m desperate” or “I have no focus, so I’m just taking a shot at whatever I stumble across.”

If you’re fuzzy about the type of job you want, now is the time to work with a career counselor at your school. There, you can take a career assessment test, learn how and why informational interviewing can help you gain focus and talk over your specific concerns with someone trained to help you.


Do You Have Experience?

Employers look for evidence that you’ve gained experience in your field through internships, co-ops, part- or full-time jobs, or even volunteering. If you haven’t picked up this type of experience yet, it’s a good bet many of your peers have and will likely have an edge over you in the entry-level job market.

But don’t despair if you lack experience. You can get it now or after you graduate by doing a postgraduation internship, volunteering or temping.


Do You Know Your Chosen Field?

Imagine going into an interview and saying, “I love this field and know a lot about it — that’s why I want to get into it myself.” The interviewer replies by saying, “Interesting. Tell me what you know.” If you’ve been BSing to that point, you’re in trouble.

Once you’ve chosen your field, study it thoroughly so prospective employers know you understand it. Research the field’s major players by reading industry publications, visiting industry Web sites, and participating in professional organizations and attending their conferences and seminars.


Do You Have a Strong Resume?

You may be the best entry-level job candidate the world has ever seen. But if you don’t market yourself effectively on your resume and cover letter, no one will ever know.

So make your resume the best it can be. Tailor it to each specific job you pursue, watch out for the most common mistakes you can make, and be sure the document looks as good as it reads. Learn how you can put together a decent resume, even as a recent graduate. Monster’s Resume Center can be an enormous help, as can a campus career counselor, your professors, and present and past work supervisors.


Can You Back Up the Claims You Make on Your Resume and in Interviews?

Employers have met all kinds of candidates, including some who have flat-out lied about their accomplishments.

It’s only natural for employers to be a bit skeptical. That’s why you have to effectively support any claims you make on your resume or in interviews with specific examples. Better yet, consider putting together and using a career portfolio to prove your past achievements.


Are You Prepared for How Odd the Real World Can Be?

At times, the real world can be a very strange place because of people’s diverse personalities, agendas and work styles. For example, decisions that ought to be made based on tangible information and logic are sometimes based on office politics. And your success (or lack thereof) on the job will depend as much on your people skills as your technical abilities. So be ready to be judged on more than your job-related accomplishments and to judge others on more than theirs.

For many, the postgraduate world can be stressful and exciting at the same time. You can minimize your anxiety and maximize your ultimate success by going in with your eyes open and your mind fully prepared for the challenges that await you.

Jangan Ragu Kualiti Pengajian di UIAM

Sumber: Utusan Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR 5 Jun – Orang ramai tidak harus meragui kualiti pembelajaran dan pengajaran di Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) walaupun ia tidak disenaraikan dalam kedudukan universiti terbaik dunia sebelum ini.


Reaktornya, Prof. Datuk Seri Dr. Syed Arabi Idid berkata, ketiadaan dalam senarai itu berikutan keputusan pihaknya sebelum ini untuk tidak mendaftar UIAM bagi dinilai oleh pihak yang menyediakan ranking berkenaan.


”Tumpuan UIAM yang ditubuhkan pada 1983 ialah menjadi universiti terbaik di kalangan negara-negara Pertubuhan Persidangan Islam (OIC) dan bukan menyenarainya dalam ranking universiti terbaik Asia, Eropah atau dunia,” katanya.


Beliau berkata demikian pada Pameran dan Persidangan Zon Perniagaan dan Pelaburan Muslim World Biz 2010 di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC) di sini hari ini.

Syed Arabi membentangkan kertas kerja bertajuk Peralihan dan Transformasi Dalam Pendidikan: Kajian Kes UIAM pada pameran dan persidangan itu yang dianjurkan oleh OIC International Business Centre Sdn. Bhd.


Beliau menjelaskan, hanya pada tahun ini pihaknya membuat keputusan untuk memasukkan nama UIAM di dalam Ranking Universiti Asia QS 2010 dan universiti itu telah ditempatkan pada kedudukan ke-159.


Dalam perkembangan berkaitan, katanya, UIAM sedang melakukan transformasi terhadap kaedah pengajaran dan pembelajarannya supaya lebih berteraskan kepada penyelidikan.


”Di kalangan universiti di 57 negara OIC, UIAM adalah antara yang terawal beralih untuk menjadi universiti penyelidikan dan kita berharap ia akan menjadi ikutan,” katanya.


Mengenai perancangan pada masa depan, beliau berkata, pihaknya sedang mengkaji kemungkinan memperkenalkan bidang pengajian berkaitan pertanian.


Sementara itu, beliau berkata, antara kejayaan yang telah dicapai oleh UIAM ialah bagi melahirkan pemimpin yang kini menerajui sektor awam dan swasta di negara-negara OIC.


”Antaranya ialah Menteri Luar Turki, Profesor Ahmet Davutoglu yang merupakan bekas kakitangan UIAM manakala Gabenor Bank Pusat Gambia, Momodou Bamba Saho adalah siswazah UIAM,” ujarnya.’

2. Details of session as follows:
Date : 7th May 2010
Time : 9.30 a.m. – 12.00 p.m.
Venue : Student Meeting Room USM Kubang Kerian.

3. Agenda was discussed:

a) Taaruf session

b) Briefing of overview on Heals,PPSK & SRC.

- Heals : Briefing organization structure and some program that was conducted.

- SRC : Briefing on program that was planned for the next semester and sharing of some ideas regarding on SRC overview.

- PPSK :

i) USM Kubang Kerian consists of three schools which are Dentistry, Medical and Health Science. USMKK have around 2000+ students. School of Health Science consists of 1000+ that contains 11 courses/programs such as Nutrition, Environmental and Occupation Health Science, Sport Science, Medical Radiation, Speech, Biomedical, Audiology, Dietetic, Forensic Science, Diploma of Nursing, and Bachelor of Nursing.

ii) Every courses/program in HS school will send representatives in PPSK during AGM. There is secretariat system was applied in PPSK. Every course have own secretariat and this secretariat have function to lead and run subject-related program. For example, Sport Science Secretariat will run paralympic games. However this program still was organized under PPSK. Meanwhile, PPSK have more function to cater service-based and general activity for all Allied Health Science Students.

iii) Example of program that was conducted by PPSK is Motivational Slot with lecturers, Trial OSPE and OSCE, and Compilation of question (own-initiatives).

c) Planning of AHS Constituency that may give benefit for students.

- Debate inter-courses.
- Presentation of Best Final Year Project (FYP) to appreciate final year students and give motivation to other students.
- Dialog session (Heals already conducted Speak Out Loud).

d) Program Collaboration AHS USM-IIUM.

- For the beginning, this collaboration is to gather and build rapport among AHS Students in Malaysia. There are three program were suggested which are Students Health Convention, National Health Quiz, and Games Carnival inter AHS faculty. After long discussion, we have concluded that convention and Quiz are academic based program and need some specialization to be conducted. Meanwhile Games Carnival is social based program and more suitable and combine similarities among various discipline in Allied Health Science. Insyaallah, USM will organize Inter AHS faculty Games Carnival in semester 2 and some of students from IIUM will involved as support committee for this carnival. The technical and operation part will be handled by USM and further discussion will be informed to us later.

e) Link and medium for connection among AHS students.

- For the beginning, this session had agreed to establish the Facebook group as medium of connection. Insyaallah, initiative to establish official blog or portal will discussed with SRC AHS from another university.

f) Arising matters and conclusion

- This session hope the discussion gives benefit for both parties and collaboration that is initiated can improve ukhwah of AHS students IIUM-USM.

4. SRC AHS IIUM hope this session can become the beginning and gate of ukhwah between AHS IIUM and USM. Thank you for cooperation that was be given from all. Any inquiries, suggestion and comments can be given directly to me either through facebook, blog or email:
