Company vs. Job Seeker

gue menemukan link (sini) yang isinya mengenai kebiasaan-kebiasaan perusahaan yang reseh dalam menangani pelamar kerja. dan isi artikelnya bener banget. jadi, bagi para pencari kerja silahkeun dibaca dan dimaki hehe.

Having no regard for the candidate's time. From last-minute cancellations, without apology or acknowledgement of the inconvenience, to not paying attention in the interview, some employers act like their time is the only time that matters. Most candidates go to a lot of trouble to prepare for an interview -- reading up on the company, taking time off work, and often traveling--and their time should be respected too.

(gue ga ngerti deh sama perusahaan, bilang kita disuruh dateng pukul 2 gitu misalnya. okelah, untuk menunjukan etika kerja yang baik, kita nyampe di perusahaan tersebut pukul 1.30. terus disuruh nunggu. pengertian dong kita. waktu udah menunjukan pukul 2. sperti yang dijanjikan sebelumnya, seharusnya mereka keluar dong, ini ga. kita masih harus disuruh nunggu lagi. maksud gue, hellooo nyadar ga sih klo dari awal mereka punya janji temu pada pukul 2??)

Refusing to share their salary range, but asking you for yours. Employers know roughly how much they're willing to pay; there's no reason not to share that info, other than that they're hoping to get you for a lower price. But that's lame: If they lowball you now and you figure out later that you're underpriced for the market, they risk losing you over it. They should tell you the range they expect to pay and put an end to all the drama and coyness.

(negosiasi gaji. ngeri men. salah-salah ngomong, bisa timbul pertanyaan baru. salah-salah ngomong kesempatan kerja di situ bisa ilang. salah-salah ngomong, hidup kita untuk beberapa bulan ke depan bisa pas sengepas-ngepasnya. kenapa sih mereka ga blak-blakan aja gitu bilang nominalnya? beres kan? ga perlu nego-nego lagi. take it or leave it.)

Misrepresenting the work. Interviewers who make the job sound more glamorous or downplay less attractive aspects of the job--such as long hours--are guaranteeing they'll end up with a bitter employee. Truth in advertising works to everyone's advantage, because candidates who won't thrive in the job, or the culture, can self-select out before they become your disgruntled employees.

(untungnya belum pernah ngalamin. tapi pernah denger cerita temen, kerja rodi, bosnya juga ga tau diri. akhirnya dia minta naik gaji karena gajinya sekarang ga pantas dengan job desk yang teret jungkir balik. bosnya ga ngasih kenaikan gaji. akhirnya temen gue cabut. gue tanya kenapa, dia bilang, dibanding gue jadi penyakitan.)

Not sharing their timeline. Employers have some idea of whether they'll be getting back to candidates in a week or a month. There's no reason not to share that information, and it can be agonizing on the job seeker's side to have no sense of the timeline the employer will be moving on -- and yet many employers keep job seekers uninformed.

(well. BENER BANGET!! jangan terlalu ngarep banget sama satu perusahaan. walopun hari ini baru diinterview, tetep aja nyebar lamaran ke perusahaan-perusahaan lain. and btw, this paragraph leads to the next.)

Not notifying candidates that they're no longer under consideration. This is both common and inexcusably rude. Candidate are often anxiously waiting to hear an answer--any answer--and end up waiting and waiting, long after a decision has been made. It's about simple respect and courtesy (and it just doesn't take that long to email a form letter).

(speechless. inilah dilema mungkin mayoritas para pencari kerja. kesombongan terbesar suatu perusahaan pencari kerja. apa susahnya sih ngirim email? dari semua perusahaan yang pernah gue apply, cuma 1 perusahaan yang concern dengan perasaan pelamarnya. waktu itu gue abis tes, dia bilang akan ngabarin kurang dari seminggu lagi. dan bener. kurang dari seminggu dateng email mengkonfirmasi klo gue gagal. salut gue sama perusahaan ini, dan btw nama perusahaannya CNOOC.)

well. kita memang butuh pekerjaan. kita memang yang posisinya dibawah. tapi tolonglah para perusahaan, harap punya etika dalam proses rekrutmen.

Employers are people who think of themselves as the only creatures who have the power to delay or cancel their own appointment. They snobbishly think that it is they who hold the key to time. Job-seekers are down to the employers' knees. However, snobbish employers will just eat their arrogance to their own peril. Their companies will go to bankruptcy as their valuable employess will quit their jobs rather than stick to their satanic bosses.
