Butuh Keberanian Membuka Lowongan Baru dan Menjadi Wirausaha
Untuk menumbuhkan jiwa wirausaha dibutuhkan keberanian untuk memulai. Dan yang terpenting adalah merubah pola pikir tentang kewirausahaan itu sendiri. Dalam hal ini, dibutuhkan peran aktif dan dukungan dari keluarga, lingkungan, pemerintah, termasuk korporat. Berikut wawancara dengan President Director Entrepreneur College yang juga owner & founder Country Donuts, A Khoerussalim Ikhs.
Apa urgensinya menumbuhkan jiwa kewirausahaan saat ini?
Ini sudah sangat mendesak dan darurat. Kini, jumlah masyarakat miskin di Indonesia 49 juta orang. Jumlah pengangguran yang benar-benar tidak punya pekerjaan sebanyak 12 juta orang.
Mengapa mereka bisa miskin? Dan mengapa mereka bisa tidak memiliki pekerjaan? Jawabannya karena tidak ada yang menyerap mereka. Lowongan kerja yang ada sangat sedikit. Padahal gelombang tenaga kerja baru akan terus bermunculan. Ini berarti akan terus menambah jumlah pengangguran yang ada.
Lalu mengapa 49 juta orang jadi miskin? Ini karena pilihan hidup mereka. Sebab mereka hanya ingin jadi pegawai negeri sipil (PNS) dan karyawan. Dengan menjadi karyawan, maka mereka akan diatur kehidupan dan finansialnya. Mereka kemudian hanya menunggu dan menunggu sampai ada lowongan kerja yang dibuka.
Jadi, menurut saya, saat ini sudah sangat mendesak untuk menumbuhkan jiwa dan semangat kewirausahaan. Dan ini menjadi tanggung jawab seluruh komponen bangsa untuk memikirkannya. Saya di Entrepreneur College peduli untuk menciptakan para pengusaha.
Bagaimana tanggung jawab pemerintah dalam hal ini?
Pemerintah harus menciptakan sistem pemerintahan yang efisien dan efektif. Seluruh departemen, BUMN, koperasi, dunia usaha, juga punya kewajiban yang sama untuk melahirkan para pengusaha. Namun, yang ingin saya katakan, pengusaha kita selama ini kalah dengan orang asing. Sebab sumber daya para pengusaha kita kebanyakan tingkat pendidikannya rendah. Kebanyakan pengusaha kita adalah lulusan SD dan SMP. Jumlah lulusan SMP yang menjadi pengusaha sekitar 22 persen. Jadi kualitas mereka masih kurang. Hal ini berbeda jika yang menjadi pengusaha adalah para mahasiswa atau sarjana. Jika itu terjadi, maka kondisinya akan jauh lebih baik.
Sebenarnya apakah kendala yang terbesar untuk memulai wirausaha?
Kendala paling utama adalah blocking mental. Ketidakberanian, ketakutan, dan kekhawatiran untuk gagal dalam berusaha. Padahal usahanya saja belum dimulai tapi sudah muncul ketakutan semacam itu. Selain itu mind set sebagian besar masyarakat kita yang ingin jadi pekerja atau pegawai harus dirubah menjadi pengusaha. Mind set ini juga menjadi problem besar yang harus segera dibenahi. Namun untuk merubah mind set butuh energi yang sengat besar dan butuk dukungan dari keluarga dan lingkungan.
Banyak BUMN dan perusahaan yang mengadakan pelatihan wirausaha, tanggapan Anda?
Itu sangat bagus dan harus diteruskan karena nantinya diharapkan akan membuka banyak lowongan-lowongan baru. Tapi yang terpenting, masyarakat jangan hanya diberi ikan namun kailnya. Nah, perubahan mind set masyarakat harus dilakukan terlebih dahulu. Setelah itu, baru diberi wawasan tentang peluang usaha, bagaimana teknik pemasaran, bantuan permodalan, dan sebagainya. ***

How To Find Writing Work
Are you looking for new writing work? It can be a challenge to build a career in any area, but it is often even harder to do so when you are in a smaller town. Sure, there may be a huge market for talented freelancers in your area, but let s face it, it is not New York where you can find countless job vacancies in your field of freelance writing. When you are looking for freelance writing work, it is important to look outside the box as well as trying the tried and true employment options. As writers work to build their career, it can be challenging to do so if they do not live in an area that is known for having publishers.
So, when you get an assignment, you need to ensure that you do it thoroughly and right on task for what the client is looking for. Do not present a piece of work without making sure that it is the best you can give. Job vacancies for freelance writing are rarely found in newspaper ads and help wanted ads. Instead, they are filled by people who have a proven talent. It is important that you maintain a strong portfolio to do this. If you have not had any freelance writing experience for a long time, it may be beneficial to write a few pieces on your own, to display your qualifications. You can present them as a sample of your work.
The most important feature to remember when looking for jobs like freelance writing is that you can find them when you look online. Yes, take your search online because that is where people go to look for freelancers of all types. If you do not have experience, get some free projects out there and present your work in the best format every time. Build your freelance business from start to finish on the quality on-task assignments that you present as finished work.***

Is A Travel Nursing Career A Dream Come True?
Deciding what job to pursue after college entails more brain cells that most activities. Unlike deciding on what car to buy or what clothes to wear, one must give the decision its due because it will effect your happiness and quality of life for the next three to four decades. Most people believe that a career in travel nursing is stuff that dreams are made of. For those currently following this career path... most of those who have experienced this lifestyle agree that it is a great way to make a living but there are a few who argue and refute this. But all agree that it's entirely up to you whether your career in travel nursing becomes to a dream come true.
How do you start on a career in travel nursing?
Let's divide the answer into two parts: travel and nursing. We'll tackle the latter first. To be able to pursue a career in travel nursing, you must of course be equipped with a creditable nursing degree. Now some may possess one-year-diplomas and call themselves professionals but unfortunately for them, not all hospital or healthcare employers accept that as enough credentials. If you only have a vocational degree tucked under your belt, then perhaps you'd rather pursue a career in care giving rather than travel nursing. Caregivers, after all, still get to travel across the globe. It all comes down to the skills.
The second half of a Travel Nursing career is the traveling. So you're the proud holder of a nursing degree and you're duly licensed to practice nursing. The next step to tackle then is learning how to go about your travels. Most people prefer to seek recruitment agencies for help in this matter. These agencies are ably experienced in assisting people interested in making a fortune in travel nursing. But you must beware! There are several recruitment agencies that may just be a scam to whisk your money away. And remember, using their services means paying some fees and if in some instances the fees are high so be careful and be wary. Ask questions and don't go with any agency that you don't feel is being 100% honest with you and if there fees are out of line then find another agency or you can always go it alone.
A few things to consider when traveling are the need of a passport. First, check with the embassy in your country of choice and see if they require a visa. Second, make sure that all your nursing documents, proof that you have graduated from a reputable school and have passed the necessary examinations, are all duly authenticated. A career in travel nursing may mean jumping from one country after another so it would definitely reduce your stress level if all your papers, even your resume, are supported with valid reference documents.
How do you adjust or embark on a life of travel nursing?
Experienced travel nurses provide us with plenty of advice and tips to make sure that first time nurses in this particular career will have an easier transition into the field.
Double-Check Everything
At least three to five days prior to your departure make sure that you haven't forgotten anything. Make a checklist of all essentials and cross them off the list as you pack them. From documents to the clothes you've packed, make sure that everything in your list is accounted for. A career in travel nursing is a demanding job and leaves little room for error so it's best to start on the right foot.
Research Your Destination(s)
A travel nursing career requires that you to go to different countries meet different people and adjust to different cultures. Researching destinations beforehand will help avoid miscommunication, reduce the possible culture shock and basically just make your experience a whole lot more enjoyable and less stressful.
Ask For An Early Move-in
An early move is suggested by experienced travel nurses because it enables you to relax and breathe a little before embarking on your new travel nursing job. Familiarize yourself with the place and the people. And best of all, enjoy the new sights because one of the major perks of having a career in travel nursing is of course... the travel.
While the compensation and perks are quite exceptional because the Travel Nursing Career is such a high demand, highly sought after position it's a bit more difficult to secure than most other nursing positions. As a result, most employers are very picky so make sure that you have what it takes. And if you don't, then improve your skills (education and / or experience) or find another sector of the nursing profession to make your career. ***
