Transitioning from university to the professional world can be both exciting and overwhelming for fresh graduates. This message was emphasized by Helmy Hadi Hidayat, Operational Manager of HR & Industrial Relations at PT Phapros Tbk., during a briefing session for graduates of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Helmy explained that the post-graduation phase is often filled with mixed emotions. \u201cThere is excitement, but also uncertainty. Many graduates feel confused and pressured as they face expectations from family, society, and themselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He noted that many graduates feel unprepared to enter the workforce, as professional environments demand both soft skills and hard skills that are not always fully developed during college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To address this, Helmy shared several practical steps for fresh graduates. These include updating and redesigning their CV, practicing interview skills, attending job fairs, and building networks with alumni. He also highlighted the importance of internships and continuous skill development to enhance competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recruitment, Helmy stressed that companies prioritize experience and competence. \u201cAround 80 percent of the assessment is based on your experience and skills, 10\u201315 percent on educational background, and 5\u201310 percent on relevant personal experiences,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also pointed out the gap between expectations and reality in the workplace. According to him, jobs do not always align with what is taught in university. \u201cIt\u2019s about 50 percent theory and 50 percent self-learning. The workplace demands quick adaptation, teamwork, and problem-solving skills,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, Helmy emphasized the importance of essential soft skills such as effective communication, time management, analytical thinking, teamwork, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. In today\u2019s increasingly competitive and dynamic job market, companies seek employees who are proactive, willing to learn, capable of handling pressure and deadlines, and familiar with technology and data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Coordinator of the History Study Program, Mukhamad Shokheh, representing the Dean of FISIP, reminded graduates that graduation is not the end, but the beginning of a new journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGraduation is just the start. You must maintain your spirit and continue learning in various ways. Learning does not stop when you receive your diploma\u2014it is only the beginning of applying your knowledge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The briefing session was held as part of the send-off event for FISIP graduates participating in the 138th graduation ceremony of Universitas Negeri Semarang. A total of 110 FISIP students officially graduated on Saturday, April 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
