• Right now I'm a business analyst at a logistics company, where I...

  Mulai dari posisimu sekarang, karena itu yang paling ingin diketahui pewawancara.

• Before that, I spent three years in customer support, which is where I got interested in...

  Menghubungkan satu pengalaman lama dengan arahmu sekarang, tanpa harus menyebut semua pekerjaan.

• One thing I'm proud of is...

  Memperkenalkan satu pencapaian tanpa terdengar sombong.

• That's a big part of why this role caught my attention.

  Mengaitkan ceritamu dengan posisi yang dilamar, jadi pewawancara tidak perlu menebak hubungannya.

• So that's a bit about me.

  Tanda jelas bahwa kamu sudah selesai dan sekarang giliran mereka. Tanpa ini, banyak jawaban berakhir menggantung.

• That's a good question. Let me think for a second.

  Memberi kamu beberapa detik dengan tenang, daripada mengisi jeda dengan "eee".

• What would success look like for this person in the first six months?

  Pertanyaan berbobot yang menunjukkan kamu sudah memikirkan cara menjalankan pekerjaan itu dengan baik.

1. Daniel

   Thanks for coming in today. So, to start, tell me a little about yourself.

2. Kamu

   Sure. Right now I'm a business analyst at a logistics company, where I collaborate with the product and operations teams on our tracking app. Before that, I worked in customer support, which is where I got interested in how people actually use a product.

3. Daniel

   Mm-hm. Can you tell me a bit more about that?

4. Kamu

   Last year I spearheaded a small project on failed deliveries. We talked to drivers, found that the address form was confusing, and redesigned it with the product team. Within two months, drivers were reporting far fewer wrong addresses.

5. Daniel

   Interesting. And why are you looking at a product role now?

6. Kamu

   Because that project was the part of my job I enjoyed most: understanding the problem and shaping the solution. I think I'd thrive in a role where that's the whole job, not a side project. So that's a bit about me.

7. Daniel

   Okay, that makes sense. Do you have any questions for me so far?

8. Kamu

   Yes, actually. What would success look like for this person in the first six months?

• I was born in Bandung and I graduated from high school in 2015...

  I'm a business analyst with four years of experience in logistics.

  Mulai dari sekarang. Pewawancara ingin tahu dirimu secara profesional, bukan kisah hidupmu.

• I am a hard worker, discipline and responsible.

  I'm reliable. In my last role, I never missed a weekly report in two years.

  Deretan kata sifat tidak membuktikan apa-apa, dan "discipline" itu kata benda (kata sifatnya "disciplined"). Satu contoh lebih meyakinkan.

• I have experience for three years in marketing.

  I have three years of experience in marketing.

  Jumlah tahunnya diletakkan sebelum "experience". Versi yang salah berasal dari pola "punya pengalaman selama tiga tahun".
