UNAIR NEWS - Department of Career Development, Entrepreneurship Incubation, and Alumni (DPKKA) Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) held another career preparation webinar with the theme How to Set Your Career Goal. DPKKA collaborated with Atma which presented Naomi Joesoef, Head of HR Atma as a guest speaker. The webinar was held via Zoom Meeting on Tuesday (23/04/2024).

In the event, Naomi explained that in determining goals there are several techniques and strategies. However, before that, she said that it is important to understand the types of goals. Among them are long-term, medium, and short-term goals.

“Long-term goals are targets that take more than one year. Or maybe even more than three or five years. The medium term is about six months to a year. And short-term, which is a target goal within three to six months,” Naomi explains.

Goal Setting Techniques and Strategies
In his presentation, he explained two techniques in developing good goals, namely with the SMART concept and visualization. According to him, the concept of specific, measurable, achievable, relevant (SMART) describes one's goals in detail to make it easier to achieve these goals. “This technique conveys all the indicators of the goal that was determined at the beginning clearly. For example, describing the time we will achieve, the indicators of success, and others,” she said.

Naomi also explained the second technique, the visual technique. Visual technique is a technique that describes a person's desire in the form of an image on the result. “So, this technique will visualize our goals by imagining ourselves achieving them. The point is to increase motivation within ourselves so that we become enthusiastic,” she explained.

Four Steps to Build a Career
Next, Naomi shared tips on building a career. She explained that there are four steps that can be applied. First, recognizing yourself is the first step in achieving your desired goals. “It is important to understand the values that each person upholds and recognize each other's expertise,” she said.

Second, it is important to maintain consistency in everything you do. Especially to develop inner values and skills. “We must always consistently do what we want to do, while building a career because indirectly we will get used to the process,” she said.

For Naomi, the third most important step in building a career is being able to establish good relationships with other people. “We also have to be smart in establishing relationships with other people professionally. Both online and offline, both must be understood,” she explained.

The last step, Naomi highlighted that branding a person is one of the important steps in building a career. “Now that the era is shifting to digital, we must also be able to build our personal presence online, not only through a strong resume or CV,” she concluded.
