Everyone would love to be invited to a job interview. Even if you are a
fresh graduate or have experience, it is guaranteed that you will feel the
same way when the company responds to your job application.
What sometimes makes the difference is the desire to get a job as quickly as
possible for fresh graduates, often making them forget to find out and get
to know the company they are aiming for first before submitting an
application.
Even though you are still a fresh graduate, you still need to know and know
the company you are going to by looking for important information, including
the company's vision and mission, and how the company treats its employees.
This is very important to know because it will affect the comfort of working
and the opportunity to develop both career and personal.
Well, to be clear, here are 4 important things you need to know before
submitting a job application.
1. Find out and apply for jobs in a growing industry. Choose a division
or position that can make you contribute optimally according to your
passion and skills
Working in an industry that matches your educational background is the dream
of every fresh graduate. However, if the industry that matches your
educational background is less promising for a future career, it's best if
you choose to apply for a job in an industry that is currently developing.
For that you need to find out what industry currently has good career
prospects according to your expertise.
As a generation that has skills in various things, working in a different
industry with an educational background should not be a problem. After all,
whatever knowledge you get from college is definitely needed in any company.
After finding the right industry, then you need to choose a division or
position that can make you contribute optimally to the company. Your future
career is not only determined by the industry, but also your performance and
contribution.
For that, you can choose a division that matches your passion and skills.
The best performance can only be achieved if you do something you enjoy and
according to your expertise.
2. Next, know the vision, mission, strategy, values and culture of
the company
After choosing the company you want to go to, you need to know what the
company's vision, mission and values are. This is important because
through vision you can know what the goals of a company are. Meanwhile,
through the mission and strategy, you can know how the company will achieve
the goal/vision.
In addition to the vision, mission and strategy, you also need to find out
the values and culture of the company. Value is a value that has strong
roots and is also adapted by Management and employees to be a guide in their
work. This value is important to know to ensure whether the company's values
are in accordance with the values you hold.
The company's value will become the culture in the long term. Through this
culture, you can also find out important things, such as how employees at
the company complete a project/job, to how you should behave if you are
later accepted to work.
To find out the culture in a company, you can visit the company's official
website or social media. Every company generally already has an information
channel related to company activities, employee development activities, to
activities outside of working hours.
3. Find out how the company's work environment can support employees to
make a significant contribution
Closely related to culture, you also need to know what the work environment
which includes the physical and social environment in a company is like. To
more easily understand what a work environment is, first you can pay
attention to what things are around employees while working, such as room
layout, interior design (ambience) and the facilities provided by the
company for its employees.
Next, you also need to find out what the non-physical work environment is
like, which includes the entire working relationship, such as the
relationship between employees and managers, employees and employees, to the
work methods and arrangements set by the company.
Both the physical and non-physical work environment, both greatly affect the
performance and productivity of employees. For example, a clean and
comfortable physical environment will be able to support you working in the
office.
4. Also find out what added value the company offers so that its
employees can develop both career and personal
Every company wants a significant contribution from its employees. On the
other hand, every employee wants to continue to grow while in the company,
both career and personal. In this case, ideally the company offers added
value such as holding special training programs to support employees to
develop their abilities, in return for the contributions made.
For that, you need to find out what added value the company offers so that
its employees can develop. At Danamon, for example, the added value that the
company provides to Danamoners (as Danamon employees are called) for career
and personal growth can be seen through the Danamon Let's GROW Employee
Value Proposition (EVP).
EVP Danamon Let's GROW is the value offered by the company in return for the
skills, abilities, and experience of Danamoners, as well as the
contributions that have been made to the company, by placing Human Resources

one of the Dream Company.
This EVP Danamon Let's GROW makes Danamon have a unique proposition compared
to other companies, which is attractive to prospective new employees and can
retain existing employees. This is because not all companies have the added

Rise to Excellence, Own Your Future, and Wellness & Well-being.

Meanwhile, through the Own Your Future pillar, Danamoners are encouraged to
grow personally and professionally in order to build a future career, one of
which is through the Accelerated Career Program which supports Danamoners to
develop and reach a certain level within a predetermined time.
Lastly, through the Wellness & Well-being pillar, Danamon is responsible
for the health and welfare of its employees. Within this pillar, Danamon
also has internal programs such as the Danamon Club (D'Club) which contains
events to support the talents of Danamoners, and external programs such as
