UraianMateri:

Job Vacancy.Coba sekarang Anda hubungkan dengan apa yang akan
dilakukan setelah selesai belajar di SMK, perguruan tinggi, atau lembaga

lain, sebagaian besar adalah mencari pekerjaan, langkah apa yang paling
penting setelah Anda mencari lowongan pekerjaan, contohnya seperti di
bawah ini :

Jika Anda sebagai pelamar yang baru lulus sekolah tingkat SMK
apakahAnda akan memutuskan untuk melamar pekerjaan kelembaga ini?
Tepat,Anda memutuskan tidak melamar karena melihat persyaratan
minimal yaitu Diploma. Jadi sebelum kita membicarakan tentang surat
lamaran pekerjaan, ada hal lain yang perlu kita ketahui, yaitu bagaimana

kita mengetahui informasi yang benar dari “Job Vacancy “. Perhatikan
contoh berikut yang dikutip dari quiper.com ;

Dari kedua contoh lowongan pekerjaan tersebut dapat Anda pahami
bahwa bahasa yang digunakan detail, sederhana, lengkap dan
menggunakan kalimat yang pendek, sedangkan untuk struktur
kebahasaannya adalah :
Title : The name of company or type of job vacancy.
Purpose : The purpose of announcing a job vacancy.
Qualification : The qualifications or requirements the company wants
toward the job seekers Address/Contact :
Address or contact number to find out more information or to send the
job application.

MATERI AJAR

Bagian-bagian surat lamaran pekerjaan/ parts of Application Letter
Berikut bagian dari sebuah surat lamaran pekerjaan (application letter) sekaligus
penjelasan singkat apa yang sebaiknya kita tulis pada tiap-tiap bagian tersebut.

Letter Head(Kepala Surat)
Didalam Letter head atau kepala surat berisi tentang nama perusahaan, merek
dagang sebuah perusahaan, jenis perusahaan , alamat lengkap dan juga symbol dari
perusahaannya. Misalnya :
Melisa cake and Bakery
The central of various cake and Bakery
Marisa street number 5 jakarta barat
75966858

2. The Dateline(Penanggalan) Date line adalah tanggal ditulisnya surat.

Ada yang menggunakan date line dan dijadikan bagian dari cover letter
header dan untuk penempatannya sendiri ada yang diatas cover letter header,
dan ada yang dibawah cover letter header. Kemudian ada versi lain dari
penulisan date line yaitu yang menuliskannya sebagai bagian terpisah dari
cover letter header, dan ada yang tidak menggunakan date line sama sekali.

Apabila kalian ingin menulis surat, kalian bisa menuliskan tanggalnya secara
british maupun American. Misalnya :

British style American style

January 2nd ,2020 2 January ,2020

3. The Inside Address(Alamat yang dituju)
Alamat yang di dalam the inside address yaitu alamat si penerima. Misalnya:

Zonia
Woman accessories and clothes
Idaho street number 5 blok B- pasar minggu
Jakarta

4. The Salutation/greetings (Salam)
Dengan adanya Salutation, kita akan lebih mudah untuk menyapa atau
menyebut orang yang dituju dengan sapaan. Kita dapat menggunakan salam
seperti Dear.

Contoh: Dear Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Smith, dsb

Kita sebaiknya menuliskan nama belakang dari si penerima surat dan
pastikan diakhiri dengan tanda comma.Jika tidak mengetahui nama orang
yang kita tuju atau HRD managernya, atau siapapun yang bertugas merekrut
pegawai baru, kita cukup menuliskan seperti :

Dear Sir, (untuk laki-laki)
Dear Madam, (untuk perempuan)

Dear Mr.Santoso

Jika kita bingung apakah orang yang menerima surat laki-laki atau
perempuan, kita dapat menuliskan Dear Sir or Madam.

5. The Attention Line(Baris Perhatian)
Sedangkan pengertian secara simplenya, bahwa di attention line ini berisi
tentang orang atau pemimpin sebuah perusahaan. Misalnya:

 Attention Mr. Jum Angin
 Attention Mrs. Siti Alwiyah
 Attention Mr. Eko Pujianto
6. The Subject Line(Garis Persoalan)

Pada point ini, Subject Line kita harus menyebutkan garis besar dari maksud
isi surat yang dibuat agar si pembaca akan lebih mudah untuk memahami
dan juga untuk membut tertarik si pembaca. Misalnya:

 Subject : Salesman’s incentive Compensation Plan
 Subject : the canceling of the PT. Kalipasir Jaya
 Subject : the ordering of shoes “spotex”
7. The Body of The Letter(Badan Surat)

Dari namanya juga kita bisa menebak kalau, “body=badan/tubuh” jadi di
body of the letter kita memberikan isi dari surat secara detail, berbeda
dengan subject line. Kalau di body of the letter kita mengutarakan maksud
dari surat sehingga alamat dan orang yang dituju mengetahui keseluruhan.

Paragraph 1

Paragraf ini harus berisi tentang informasi diri dan posisi yang dilamar.
Paragraf ini juga harus menuntun pada paragraf selanjutnya dengan
menyebutkaan qualifikasi yang dimiliki secara singkat atau kenapa kita
tertarik terhadap posisi yang dilamar.

Paragraph 2

Paragraf kedua berisi tentang qualifikasi atau keterampilan yang dimiliki,
kita juga dapat menyebutkan prestasi yang pernah diraih untuk menunjukan
bahwa kita memang cocok untuk posisi yang dilamar.

Paragraph 3
Paragraf ketiga berisi sebuah penutupan. Kita dapat menyampaikan bahwa
kita memiliki qualifikasi yang sesuai untuk posisi yang dilamar. Kita juga
dapat menyertakan sebuah kontak sekaligus menunjukan bahwa kita
mengharapkan sebuah panggilan interview. Dan yang terakhir ucapan
terima kasih.
Pada bagian akhir paragraf tiga, biasanya kita menuliskan kalimat penutup
yang dapat kita gunakan seperti :

I look forward to your reply
Looking forward to your reply
I look forward to hearing from you at your earlist convience
I look forward to hearing from you soon

Misalnya :

Have you known that over a third of the $2 billon industrial expansion in the east
during the past eleven years went into new chemical facilities? The abundant raw
materials for chemical production, lower labor rates, and economy of transportation
are just three reasons why the chemical manufactures are moving to the east.
Two others reasins are the many low-priced tracts of available belonging fixed
for industrial increasing , favorable privileges regarding taxation of

new industrial enterprise.

We are pleased to offer you our helping in conducting your investigation of
opportunities in the east. We believe that we can help you that most authoritative
service available.

8. The Complimentary(Salam Penutup) Closing and Signature

Tuliskan salam penutup, tanda tangan serta nama lengkappada bagian
akhir surat lamaran pekerjaan.

Untuk salam penutup sendiri kita dapat menuliskan contoh berikut :

 Sincerely,
 Yours sincerely,
 Regards,
 Best,
 Yours faithfully,
 Best Regrads,
 Very truly yours

9.Signature(Tanda Tangan)
Untuk signature, setiap orang mempunyai tanda tangan yang pastinya
berbeda.

10.Reference/initial (Penulis Surat)
Berisi tentang nama panjang atau inisial si penulis/pemimpin perusahaan.

Misalnya:

 Methew Robinson
 Caroline Martina Situmorang
 Willona Siregar
11.Enclosure Notation(Lampiran)

The enclosure notation adalah lampiran yang disertakan namun dilain
halaman. Misalnya :

 Enclosure : catalogue
 Enclosure notation : price list
 Enclosure : shoes style
12.Carbon Copy Notation(Tembusan)

Berisi tentang kopian(lembar yang digandakan)

Tips
Sebagai tips tambahan saat menulis surat lamaran pekerjaan (meskipun pada
akhirnya jika kita akan benar-benar melamar pekerjaan, kita pasti akan mencari
template yang sudah ada di google)
Tapi informasi tambahan sebaiknya kita tidak menggunakan singkatan seperti:
Don’t, I’m, Can’t, Isn’t,dsb.
Kita sebaiknya menulisnya dengan tidak disingkat seperti :
Do not, I am, Can not, Is not, dsb.
Dan yang paling dipastikan kita menggunakan bahasa yang baik, sopan dan formal.

inspect the damage to my barn, and their estimates vary between $1,500 and
$1,750.

I would like your company to take into consideration the estimates I have provided
and reevaluate your settlement offer. If you continue to deny the fact that your
offer is unacceptably low, I will need to seek legal counsel.

I will appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,
