Syamsul Arifin Career Orientation

This is my personal career orientation profile:

Dominant: Challenge

Challenge

Some careerists are driven by the need for excitement‚ challenge‚ and the engaging process of work. In such a career one seeks to move‚ often laterally‚ to the centers of action‚ adventure‚ and creativity. The organizational setting may be large or small‚ but bureaucracy tends to be a constraint. These craftpersons‚ technical specialists‚ entrepreneurs‚ and artists‚ like those opting for Advancement or Freedom orientations‚ find it difficult to separate themselves from their work. While autonomy may be an important component the bottom line for Challenge-oriented people is exciting work.

Security

Some people are driven by the need for job security‚ organizational identity‚ and the desire for a sense of order. In return for loyal‚ dedicated hard-working service‚ they seek long-term employment‚ benefits‚ recognition‚ and appreciation from the employer. In the best situations‚ mutual respect‚ reciprocity‚ and loyalty characterize the relationship. These people often seek steady promotions and advances as a symbol of their value and worth.

Advancement

This upwardly mobile career orientation is usually associated with advancing up a hierarchy of positions or a status system. More influence‚ prestige‚ and financial remuneration are usually bestowed with each upward move. Individuals pursuing such a strategy are most often found in large organizations or professional associations. Many highly competitive and achievement-oriented people follow this career orientation.

Balance

Some people seek to balance their work‚ relationship‚ and self-development lives. For these individuals‚ work is just one important dimension of a total life-style orientation‚ even though such careerists may emphasize different dimensions at different seasons and given different pressures. Like the Freedom strategy‚ this career orientation requires considerable flexibility. Unlike Freedom-seekers‚ Balance-oriented individuals try to separate themselves from their work. Many talented two-career couples‚ geographically bound people‚ and personal growth-oriented people fall into this category.

Freedom

Instead of moving upward in career direction‚ the careerist following this strategy seeks to move out towards the margin. The emphasis is on gaining personal autonomy‚ “space‚ “ loose supervision‚ and responsibility for outcomes rather than being bound by another’s process‚ norms‚ and rules. Individuals are willing to work very hard‚ often as professionals or small business owners‚ for conditions assuring more independence and self-control. Interesting and exciting work is important and usually accompanies such an orientation‚ but individual freedom is the ultimate objective.

Tipe Kepribadian: IPersonic Typology

Ngikutin Petta Rosetta, ngisi kuis kepribadian di http://www.ipersonic.com/id/ lumayan buat sedikit mencari tahu diri sendiri ^_^

Ternyata, (katanya) tipe kepribadian saya adalah:

Pelaku Bersemangat

Tipe Pelaku Bersemangat adalah orang-orang periang dan spontan. Mereka penuh pesona, dipenuhi energi, dan pelaku-pelaku sesungguhnya. Mereka memiliki pemikiran dan pandangan yang jernih sekalipun sedang berada dalam situasi sulit. Ini membuat mereka dikenal sebagai pemecah masalah yang jitu. Kemampuan mereka dalam menyerap dan memroses informasi sangat fenomenal. Tipe Pelaku Bersemangat juga memiliki kekuatan dalam pengamatan dan perasaan tajam saat berhadapan dengan orang lain. Mereka mudah memahami, jenaka, dan cerdas. Mereka memiliki kemampuan alami meyakinkan orang lain akan pandangan mereka. Tipe Pelaku Bersemangat hidup dalam kekinian dan membuat keputusan-keputusan spontan dari waktu ke waktu. Mereka senang bersama-sama dengan orang lain dan adalah pebincang yang perasa, riang, dan menghibur. Tidak masalah bagi mereka menjadi pusat keriaan dalam sebuah pesta dan mereka adalah tuan rumah yang baik, murah hati, dan trampil. Mereka tidak berlama-lama memikirkan konsekuensi; dengan cepat mereka menangkap seluruh fakta yang relevan, membuat keputusan pragmatis, lalu melaksanakan keputusan itu dengan penuh semangat. Jika suatu keputusan ternyata keliru di kemudian hari, mereka selalu dapat membuat rencana baru.

Tipe Pelaku Bersemangat dengan magis menarik keriaan dan aksi. Mereka membutuhkan dorongan itu – sejauh memungkinkan dengan orang lain. Banyak contoh dari tipe ini memiliki hobi berbahaya atau menceburkan diri pada olahraga ekstrem. Dengan cukup sadar mereka menempatkan diri dalam situasi berbahaya berulang-ulang. Dalam pekerjaan, tipe Pelaku Bersemangat juga mengutamakan kesenangan dan keragaman. Mereka bosan setengah mati dengan rutinitas, keamanan, dan perhitungan. Krisis adalah ramuan mujarab bagi hidup mereka dan sungguh-sungguh memunculkan kekuatan mereka. Mereka bereaksi terhadap tantangan-tantangan baru dengan luwes dan efektif. Mereka mendapatkan rasa percaya diri mereka dari keyakinan diri yang tak tergoyahkan sehingga mampu menghadapinya. Tipe Pelaku Bersemangat lebih menyukai kegiatan praktis yang menelurkan hasil nyata ketimbang bidang-bidang pekerjaan teoritis. Diskusi yang tidak ada habisnya dengan rekan kerja dengan cepat membuat mereka jengkel dan mereka tidak memiliki kesabaran untuk berbasa-basi. Mereka mengungkapkan bagaimana sesuatu harus dilakukan, dan demikianlah harus dilakukan!

Tipe Pelaku Bersemangat membuat teman-teman mereka menunggu-nunggu kejenakaan, semangat, dan kelincahan mereka dalam berkomentar. Kebanyakan dari mereka memiliki lingkaran teman dan kenalan yang besar namun biasanya tidak berkomitmen dalam hubungan mereka. Mereka mengharapkan sifat bisa diandalkan dan toleransi dari teman-teman terbaik mereka namun juga bersedia melakukan hal yang sama kepada mereka. Namun demikian, karena sifat spontan mereka, mereka selalu agak mengejutkan dan tidak mudah ditebak, juga bagi pasangan mereka. Tipe Pelaku Bersemangat membutuhkan banyak ruang dan waktu untuk diri sendiri; mereka dengan cepat merasa terkepung jika pasangan mereka terlalu berantung pada mereka. Namun jika Anda memberinya cukup kelonggaran, mereka adalah pasangan hidup murah hati, periang, dan sangat imajinatif yang dengan mereka Anda dapat bersenang-senang dan menikmati hidup sebaik-baiknya. Mereka tidak menghindari konflik namun sebaliknya menghadapinya dengan terbuka dan kadang-kadang perselisihan benar-benar terjadi. Tapi ini tipikal para Pelaku Bersemangat dan, sesudahnya, mereka malah lebih mengabdi dan penuh kasih sayang.

Sifat-sifat yang menggambarkan tipe ini: ekstrovert, praktis, logis, spontan, tak tergoyahkan, tegas, objektif, sungguh-sungguh, penuh perhatian, suka mengambil risiko, periang, impulsif, optimis, mudah bergaul, menyemangati, penuh kesenangan hidup, agresif, tidak peka, dinamis, hidup, sembrono, berorientasi pada persaingan, menyukai aksi, bersemangat, memesona, superior, berorientasi pada solusi, suka berpetualang, tidak berpikir panjang, tidak mudah ditebak, percaya diri.

---------

Energetic Doer

Energetic Doers are cheerful and spontaneous persons. They are charming and full of energy and real persons of action. They keep a clear head and the overview even in difficult situations. This makes them popular problem solvers. Their ability of being able to absorb and process information is phenomenal. Energetic Doers also have strong powers of observation and a keen sense when dealing with other people. They are very perceptive, witty and clever. They have a natural ability of convincing others of their point of view. Energetic Doers live completely in the here and now and make spontaneous decisions from one moment to the next. They love being together with other people and are sensuous, lively and amusing conversationalists. It is no problem for them to be the effervescent centre of attention at a party and they are generous, skilful and good hosts. They do not brood over consequences for long; they quickly grasp all the relevant facts, make a pragmatic decision and enforce that decision vigorously. Should a decision later turn out to have been wrong, one can always make new plans.

Energetic Doers magically attract fun and action. They need the kick - as far as possible with other people. Many representatives of this type have dangerous hobbies or go in for extreme sports. They quite consciously put themselves in dangerous situations again and again. At work too, Energetic Doers seek fun and variety above all. They are bored to death by routine, safety and calculability. Crises are their elixir of life and really bring their strong points to light. They react to new challenges flexibly and effectively. They gain their confidence from their imperturbable self-assuredness that they will be able to cope with them. Energetic Doers prefer practical activities which lead to visible results rather than theoretical fields of work. Endless discussions with colleagues quickly get on their nerves and they do not have the patience for interpersonal niceties. They say how something has to be done and that’s that!

Energetic Doers keep their friends in suspense with their wit, esprit and quickness in repartee. They mostly have a large circle of friends and acquaintances but often remain non-committal in their relationships. They expect a great deal of reliability and tolerance from their really good friends but are also willing to give the same to them. However, due to their spontaneous nature, they always remain a little surprising and unpredictable, also for their partners. Energetic Doers need a lot of space and time to themselves; they quickly feel hemmed in if their partners cling too strongly to them. But if you give them plenty of leeway, they are generous, cheerful and extremely imaginative life companions with whom you can have a lot of fun and enjoy life to the full. They do not avoid conflicts but address them openly and sometimes sparks can really fly. But this is typical for Energetic Doers and, afterwards, they are all the more devoted and loving.

Adjectives which describe your type: extroverted, practical, logical, spontaneous, resolved, direct, objective, conscientious, attentive, likes taking risks, cheerful, impulsive, optimistic, sociable, enthusing, full of the joys of life, aggressive, inconsiderate, dynamic, lively, rash, competition-oriented, action-loving, energetic, charming, superior, solution-oriented, adventurous, go-ahead, changeable, outgoing

Ipin’s Height & Weight

My height is 183 centimeter or 6 foot, quite tall for an average Indonesian :D

 

My weight is at about 63 kilogram or 139 pounds, quite thin :D need some more extra weight nih, well actually I think its easy to gain for some kilo’s, since I had try and able to increase 2 kg in a month :D of course that required continuous ice cream supply in a daily rate ^_^ :hihi:

 

Well, I think my biggest problem with my weight is because I don’t have a good diet :) need to fix out that issue nih :) maybe one of the solution is by having a wife that can provide me with a good meals supply at home ya :D he3x *just kidding* since I bought my own meals, and sometimes I feel too lazy to go-out for dinner :D

 

Anyhow, that’s me, Syamsul Arifin, a man with 183 cm tall and 63 kg weight ^_^

And of course, a guy with a thousand kindness within (hopefully-amin) ^_^ hihihihihihi %peace%

 

Btw, how about you, how much your weight and height is..? ^_^

Safety Professional

Sering teman-teman yang bukan sefakultas bertanya mengenai profesi yang saya geluti. Apaan sih kerjaannya. Saya sih bilang apa adanya.

 

Di perusahaan yang sekarang ini (PT. Multi Production Solution-MPS), saya berkerja sebagai HSE (Health Safety Environment) Officer. Apaan tuh…? :D

Hmmm.., intinya sih, saya masih sebagai anak buah, yang tugasnya adalah memastikan bahwa orang-orang yang bekerja di perusahaan saya, dapat bekerja secara aman, sehat dan sejahtera.

 

Lalu apa aja yang dilakukan?

 

Di industri Migas (Minyak dan Gas Bumi), persyaratan sebuah perusahaan dapat bermain di bisnis ini lumayan ketat, maklum, persyaratan yang di adopsi adalah persyaratan internasional dan umumnya, perusahaan yang bermain di sini (KPS-Kontraktor Production Sharing, atau perusahaan yang mendapatkan konsesus untuk mengelola sebuah blok atau daerah produksi Migas, adalah perusahaan berkelas internasional, seperti Chevron, Exxon Mobil Oil, Conoco Phillips, Total E & P Indonesie, dll) jadi mereka pasti menginginkan agar para subkontraktor mereka dapat memenuhi persyaratan yang telah mereka tentukan untuk dapat mendapatkan pekerjaan yang tender/tawarkan.

 

MPS merupakan salah satu subkontraktor yang bekerja di bawah perusahaan minyak tersebut, dan so pasti, mereka memiliki persyaratan yang harus dipenuhi. MPS menyediakan jasa engineering, equipment, personnel, well testing, atau apapun yang berhubungan dengan jasa produksi suatu sumur migas.

 

Back to topic, inti pekerjaan saya adalah memastikan bahwa setiap orang yang bekerja di bawah naungan MPS dapat bekerja secara aman. Memastikan ada sistem manajemen keselamatan yang berjalan. Dan sebagaimana sebuah sistem itu, pasti ada banyak hal yang perlu di perhatikan.

 

Sistem Manajemen K3 (Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja) yang mungkin bisa di pelajari yaitu OHSAS 18001 atau yang produk dalam negeri yaitu, SMK3 (Sistem Manajemen K3). Silakan refer ke kedua hal tersebut kalau mau tau lebih tentang K3 (Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja).

 

Payung besar dari sistem manajeman yaitu kebijakan, lalu ada manual, standar kerja, dan form. Manual biasanya berisi elemen-elemen yang ada di sebuah sistem. Program-program K3 biasanya tergambar di bagian standar, misal, standar APD (Alat Pelindung Diri), mulai dari pemilihan, perawatan, dan pelatihan, dan lain-lain; standar pelaporan kecelakaan; standar komunikasi (penyebaran kesadaran mengenai keselamatan kerja, atau bahaya yang ada di operasi), standar pelatihan, standard identifikasi/pengelolaan resiko/bahaya, standar pengelolaan limbah, standar, tanggap darurat, dll.

 

Yah..., kira-kira begitu deh :D

 

Semoga saya bisa menjadi Ahli dan Professional di bidang ini :) (amin)

 

*atau back to my core competency, which is Public Health :D

Kenapa Menulis Cerpen?

Why did i wrote a fiction story?

Sebenarnya saya suka menulis. Teringat pesan seorang kaka kelas ketika di kampus dulu, beliau pernah berkata, seorang mahasiswa itu harus memiliki empat kemampuan, kemampuan tuk "melihat", berbicara, menulis, dan mendengar. banyak dikalangan mahasiswa yang sering menjadi orator ulung, ternyata susah menuangkan ucapannya kedalam tulisan, dan kadang orang yang sering menulis dan berbicara, suka sulit tuk bisa mendengarkan (listen not just hear).

Jadi, emang suka, dan terkadang "sedikit memaksakan" (mungkin emang maksain kali ya :D ), karena saya yakin bahwa "kita bisa karena biasa".

Dengan menulis, seseorang itu akan kelihatan kepintarannya. Karena dengan menghasilkan "output", maka berarti dia telah memiliki "input", dan menulis itu merupakan merangkai/menjalin informasi yang ia punyai menjadi suatu hal yang baru. Sehingga jelas, kualitas output tulisan yang ia hasilkan, menunjukkan input bacaan yang ia lakukan. *Makanya saya ngga perlu nyari seseorang wanita (tuk menjadi istri) yang suka baca, tapi cari aja yang suka menulis :D hehehe.., salah satu kriteria pribadi euy %peace% tapi kayaknya kriteria ini perlu ditinjau ulang nih... hmmm...

Back to topic, lalu kenapa saya suka menulis cerpen (yang Islami, atau minimal suka "ditempelin" pesan sponsornya :D )?

Saya pada dasarnya ngga suka yang sia2, dalam hal permainan aja, minimal harus ada ibrah/hikmah yang harus didapat dari aktivitas tersebut.

Dan semangat tuk mulai menulis cerpen genre Islami ini muncul setelah membaca novel "Ayat-Ayat Cinta"nya (AAC) mas Habiburrahman El Shirazy (atau yang biasa dipanggil kang Abik). Novel itu begitu menggetarkan saya, bukan hanya karena kisah romannya aja, tapi juga karena kandungannya yang lengkap.

Menyitir perkataan ustadz Abu Ridho ketika berbicara mengenai novel AAC tersebut, "ini adalah novel yang sangat bagus dan lengkap kandungannya. Ini bukan hanya novel sastra dan novel cinta, tapi juga novel politik, novel budaya, novel fikih, novel etika, novel bahasa, dan novel dakwah"

Dan saya pun semakin tertarik tuk membacanya (hanya sekedar baca-pinjam dari teman, tidak membeli, karena sayang euy beli buku begituan :D maklum, sebenarnya saya bukan penggandrung buku2 fiksi. Maaf ya kang Abik,-red) ketika membaca komentar banyak orang mengenai novel itu, banyak sastrawan, dan penulis2 Islam seperti bu Helvy Tiana Rosa, yang juga memuji novel ini. Bahkan ada yang mengatakan bahwa kang Abik merupakan pengganti Hamka, dan AAC diibaratkan sebagai cerita "Di  Bawah Naungan Kabah" beliau yang sangat terkenal itu. Hmmm, sehebat apa sih novel ini sehingga disamakan dengan ulama seperti Hamka, hatiku terpancing rasa penasaran. Akhirnya, setelah tanya2 beberapa orang teman, siapa aja yang punya, bisa jugalah daku membacanya. Terima kasih kepada Ririn, yang mau/bersedia (atau terpaksa ya...) "merusakkan" novelnya karena saya baca :D

Novel itu "mengguncang" saya, karena dia berbicara begitu vulgar mengenai nilai2 keislaman. Suka menyitir ayat-ayat suci Alquran, Hadits, dan perkataan ulama2, hal2 lainnya.

Maka muncullah jua cerita2 mengenai percintaan, suami-istri, bahkan mengenai keluarga, dari benak saya.

Untuk lebih jelasnya, silakan pilih tag "fiction" dari multiply saya (genkeis.multiply.com) agar bisa tampil semua tulisan fiksi saya.

Beberapa (bahkan kayaknya semuanya) saya posting di situs myQuran, dimana saya menjadi member  dengan status "Aktivis" (status ini berdasarkan jumlah postingan) dan situs itu merupakan situs komunitas dimana saya berinteraksi dengan teman2 baru yang saya jalin. Kami sering buat acara offline bareng lho, makanya gabung deh ke myQ, -pesan sponsor :D he3x) Oh ya sekedar info, id saya disana adalah ipin4u.

Cerita2 saya biasanya menggunakan inspirasi dari hal2 disekeliling saya, dari saya pribadi, dari teman2 saya, dan dari apa yang saya baca. Makanya saya kadang suka pakai karakter teman, (atau seringnya sih diri sendiri) dalam bercerita.

Makanya pertama kali itu bikin cerpen (dalam bahasa Inggris) yang berjudul "I Love You, I Cry For You, and You Give Me Someone Better" tuh agak-agak sedikit "gimana gitu" menanggapi responnya, karena sama teman2 myQ malah di kasih ucapan selamat (selamat menikah, -red) weeeeiiks..., karena di cerpen itu, karakternya utama prianya pake nama saya (dengan aktivitas, latar belakang dan profesi yang hampir mirip dengan saya), dan ceritanya (ending2nya) dia mau nikah sama akhwat LIPIA. Eh,,, malah di kirain cerita beneran... sebenarnya sih mengharap juga (meng-amin-kan dalam hati), siapa sih yang ngga mau sama akhwat LIPIA :)

Begitu juga ketika buat mengenai "Angel Have Name" dan sequelnya "Angel Have Name (Jawaban Sang Bidadarimu)", "Boncengan Motor", "Maaf Akh Saya Tidak Bisa Menerimamu" dan sequelnya juga "Kegigihan adalah Nafas dari Cinta", serta "Gara2 Ikhwan Gang Kelinci", cerita2 tersebut sering dikira cerita nyata dari kehidupan saya.

Karena saya suka pakai (atau lebih tepatnya, "membajak") karakter teman2 dan sifat dari orang2 disekeliling saya, entah itu teman2 di kampus (teman sekelas, Forkomal/K3, lembaga2 formal kampus, dll), teman2 myQ yang sering chat dan ketemu, teman2 di DPRa, di lingkungan rumah, curhatan, blogs orang, dan lain2.. Seringnya sih, saya juga memasukkan "diri" saya kedalam cerita, hehehe... btw, bukan lagi promosi lho ya :D tapi maklum deh, masih new beginner, jadi suka ngga kreatif gitu :D. dan saya melalui tulisan ini meminta maaf bagi orang2 (di dunia nyata) yang saya "bajak" karakternya :) %peace%

Namun kalau mau dicermati, saya juga membuat cerpen mengenai kisah suami-istri, seperti di cerita "Jangan Terlalu Mesra Lagi Ya", "Berikan Aku 'Madu' ", dan "Bila Momongan Tak Kunjung Datang", dimana mereka semua pakai sudut pandang orang pertama dengan peran seorang suami.... bahkan di cerita "Romantisme di Tengah Banjir" pake sudut pandang seorang istri :D he3x

*waduh mesti hati2 nih, kayaknya saya juga dah beberapa kali bikin cerita pake sudut pandang perempuan... hmmm... atau mungkin saya emang women expert wannanbe ya... hmmm...


Intinya sih gini, cerpen atau cerita yang bisa menjadi konsumsi hiburan dari saya itu harus ada unsur kebaikannya, dari unsur itu, terkadang suka ngga saya jelaskan secara detail, karena saya ngga mau menganggap pembaca saya adalah pembaca2 yang bodoh.

Dan semoga, melalui cerita2 tersebut, ada hati yang terbuka, ada diri yang menjadi ingat, dan ada iman yang semakin kokoh. Sehingga ia bisa menjadi tambahan pemberat amalan kebaikan saya di akhirat kelak.

Doakan saya semoga bisa terus berkontribusi dalam sastra Islam dengan karya2 yang berkualitas (sebagaimana keinginan azzura, teman myQuran saya,-red), dimana teman2 di FLP (Forum Lingkar Pena) telah jauh memulainya. Semoga Allah merahmati kita semua. amin.
