Start recording all your activities during studies
Lisdah said that this is useful for students later. It can be one of the capitals when conducting a job interview. “For example, being a member of HIMA or being an MC at an event,” explained Lisdah.
Plan at least a year ahead
Apart from taking notes, planning is no less important. According to Lisdah, she usually writes her resolutions every semester.
Follow all activities to improve self-esteem
“Don’t slack off to develop yourself. Because later, everything you do will come back to you too,” said the 2017 best graduate.
Do the best
Another tip from Lisdah is to always try your best in every activity. “ When you can do your best, the results will be the best for you,” she said.
Make the most of your time
She also emphasized that all students make the best use of their time while they are still young. “Make the most of your youth. More experiences, more connections,” she said.
Finally, she advised all students to change their mindset about job prospects and focus on developing themselves for now. “And the most important thing is that you don’t have to think about what you will become later, think now what you can do that can later develop yourself,” concluded Lisdah.
