Jobs and CareersBelajar Mandiri di Mandiga
Bel berbunyi. Anak-anak keluar kelas, langsung menuju dapur. Mereka mengambil baki berisi kotak bekal masing-masing, meletakkannya di meja yang berada di teras dalam. Setelah bergantian mencuci tangan, mereka kembali ke meja, menuangkan air ke gelas masing-masing.
Tanpa banyak polah, anak-anak itu menuangkan makanan dari kotak bekal. Menyendok makanan masing-masing dengan bantuan garpu di tangan kiri. Dengan terampilnya anak-anak itu menghabiskan bekalnya menggunakan sendok dan garpu. Itu bukan pemandangan di sebuah asrama. Tapi, anak-anak di Mandiga, sekolah autis di Jakarta Selatan. ''Anak-anak itu memang dilatih agar bisa seperti orang-orang pada umumnya,'' kata Dyah Puspita, pendiri sekaligus perumus kurikulum Mandiga.
Memberi kesempatan Mandiga didirikan pada Februari 2000 oleh dua orang psikolog, Dyah dan Adriana Ginanjar. Anak-anak autis yang bersekolah di sini adalah yang tidak bisa masuk ke sekolah umum. Misalnya, mereka mengalami kesulitan bicara dan bersosialisasi yang lumayan berat sehingga tak bisa mengikuti pelajaran di sekolah umum.
Mandiga sengaja menggunakan rumah, bukan ruko, sebagai tempat pendidikan. Bentuk dan suasana rumah, jelas tamatan Fakultas Psikologi Universitas Indonesia ini, membuat anak merasa santai. Sebab, rumah seperti tempat sehari-hari yang mereka hadapi. Sekolah yang berlokasi di Jalan Mulawarman No 3, Jakarta Selatan, ini cukup luas. Tak terlalu banyak permainan di sana. Ada trampolin dan ayunan di halamannya. Di dalam gedung terasa lapang dengan rak tas sekolah di ruangan depannya.
Selain ruang-ruang kelas, ada kamar mandi yang cukup luas. Di sana anak-anak belajar mencuci muka, menggosok gigi di depan cermin. Sebuah kamar berisi tempat tidur dan lemari pakaian tempat anak-anak belajar merapikan tempat tidur dan memasukkan pakaian ke dalam lemari. Ada juga 'ruang tenang'. Apa itu? Sebuah ruangan berukuran 2 x 3 m yang hanya berisi sebuah bantal. Ruangan ini tempat anak mengekspresikan kemarahannya tanpa mengganggu orang lain. ''Dia boleh teriak-teriak, memukul bantal semaunya,'' kata Ita.
Anak-anak yang akan mengekspresikan kemarahannya langsung masuk ke dalam ruang tenang. Bila sudah selesai, ia akan keluar sendiri. Uniknya, bila ada anak yang ingin mengekspresikan kemarahannya sementara ruang tenang masih terisi, maka ia akan memilih tempat lain tanpa mengganggu orang lain. ''Saat itu, tidak ada orang yang mengganggu atau memarahinya,'' ujar Ita.
Mandiga tak mematok biaya tinggi untuk layanan pendidikannya. Dengan uang pangkal Rp 2,5 juta dan uang bulanan Rp 900 ribu, anak-anak sudah bisa belajar di sini. Mereka belajar dari pukul 08.00 hingga 12.00. Ita mengakui, alat-alat yang dimiliki sekolahnya tidak termasuk banyak. ''Bukan alat-alat yang mengatur kita, tapi apa saja yang bisa dilakukan dengan alat A, B, C itu,'' katanya mengibaratkan. Mengajar mandiri Bagaimana kurikulum di Mandiga? Ita mengaku harus banyak membuka buku dalam hal ini. Ia mempelajari kurikulum pendidikan bagi anak autis di AS dan mengadopsinya, menyesuaikan dengan budaya Indonesia. Lalu, ia menyerap pelajaran di SD. ''Untuk anak-anak ini, tak perlulah tahu perbedaan kota dan kabupaten,'' ujarnya mencontohkan.
Untuk pelajaran akademis di Mandiga, anak-anak belajar membaca, menulis, dan berhitung. Menulis yang diajarkan tak seperti pada anak sekolah umum. Tetapi, yang langsung berguna bagi si anak. Misalnya, menulis nama, alamat, nomor telepon, menerima pesan di telepon. ''Pokoknya, yang berguna untuk sehari-hari,'' kata Ita. Program yang tak kalah pentingnya adalah belajar keterampilan tangan. ''Supaya bisa mandiri kerja sesuai bidang masing-masing,'' kata Ita yang kebetulan juga dikaruniai seorang anak autis ini.
Keterampilan menggunakan tangan itu mulai dari prakarya, komputer, membungkus kado, membuat kalung. ''Pokoknya menjadikan sesuatu,'' tambahnya. Kemandirian pribadi juga menjadi perhatian utama para pendidik di Mandiga. Anak-anak diajar mencuci piring, mengepel, mencuci baju.
Satu hal yang kadang terlupakan, anak-anak juga diajar cara menggunakan waktu luang. ''Anak-anak autis tidak tahu menggunakan waktu luangnya,'' tutur Ita. Karena itu, mereka juga diajari bermain kuartet, domino, dan percobaan ilmiah ringan yang akan berguna untuk kehidupan sehari-hari. Misalnya, air panas bisa didinginkan bila ditambah dengan air dingin, ada benda tenggelam dan terapung. Satu bulan sekali anak-anak diajak jalan-jalan keluar. Terkadang ke Senayan atau ke supermarket. Ini termasuk bagian dari pelajaran cara bersikap di depan umum. ''Misalnya, kalau capek ya duduk, tidak teriak-teriak,'' ujar Ita, mencontohkan.
Secara keseluruhan, anak-anak diajari memecahkan masalahnya sendiri dan mengerti konsekuensi perilaku apa pun bentuknya. Misalnya, bila mengompol, anak harus mengambil kain pel dan membersihkannya sendiri. Jika membuat berantakan mainan, harus merapikannya. ''Semua itu diajarkan tanpa marah-marah,'' jelas Ita, ''Dan, anak-anak itu bisa diajar dengan baik-baik.'' Anak kelas A, anak-anak yang sudah belajar selama empat tahun, sudah bisa membaca, menulis, berhitung sederhana. Mereka bisa menggunakan kalkulator dan mengetik di komputer. Jangan heran. Meski ada yang sulit berbicara, tapi bisa membaca dan memahami cerita. Ia juga bisa mengungkapkan pikirannya dengan tulisan lewat kalimat yang sederhana.
''Yang diberikan di sini adalah kesempatan,'' kata Ita tentang sekolah yang dipimpinnya. Untuk menghadapi belasan murid itu, Mandiga digerakkan oleh tiga belas orang guru. Mereka berasal dari sarjana S1 dari berbagai latar belakang, mulai dari tamatan Fakultas Psikologi Universitas Indonesia, IPB, hingga ITB.
Hingga kini ada empat kelas, masing-masing berisi tiga hingga lima orang anak yang ditangani satu atau dua orang guru. Total murid sebanyak 13 orang. ''Yang masuk waiting list sudah banyak, tapi daya tampung di sini memang terbatas,'' kata Ita. Mandiga tak hanya menyediakan fasilitas sekolah bagi anak autis. Ada juga fasilitas psikotes dan terapi bagi anak-anak yang tidak bersekolah di sini. ***

Interviews
- Preparing for Interview You have made a successful application and now you are rewarded by getting an interview. It would be a shame to blow it all by failing to take the same care and attention at the interview. It's true to say that the vast majority of interviewers are not trained and make many mistakes themselves, but that is not a reason to make them yourself.
Lets have a look at common mistakes so that you can avoid them.
- Arriving late. - Being dressed incorrectly. - Taking unnecessary hand luggage with you. - Poor greeting. - Poor body language/Nervous mannerisms
* Arriving Late You should aim to arrive 10 - 20 minutes early for your interview. Depending on the size of the building you may find that locating the interview are is not a simple task and you should ensure that you have enough time in hand to avoid a late arrival.
If the company is in a location that you are not familiar with you would take time to plan your route and allow for unexpected delays, so why should you act differently just because the interview is somewhere you know? Some of the external events that may make you late are; late public transport, unable to locate parking space, no change for a pay and display car park, unable to locate building.
All of these are genuine reasons to be late, but at the end of the day, they are all avoidable.
Take time to find out about the location of the building and local parking, if the company is a large phoning them will result in you getting the switch board, these people know the area, there is nothing wrong with asking them for advice about local parking. If the company is a one man band then use your initiative, check maps, local tourist information offices etc.
* Looking Good Most people are unsure how to dress for an interview. Lets face it, if you are going for an interview to be a garage mechanic then a suit probably isn't suitable, but how do you know what to wear?
As a rule of thumb, think about what you would wear if you were working there already, no smarten up a bit. If you would normally wear trousers/skirt and a shirt/blouse then by adding a jacket and tie you have smartened up.
If you would normally wear jeans and a T-shirt or polo shirt then you should wear trousers and a shirt and tie, no need for a jacket. Dressing down at the interview is easier than going home to get changed. That is to say that if you get to the interview and you are wearing a jacket but non of the interviews is wearing one and you feel uncomfortable, then as you take a seat as if you can remove your jacket.
I'm sure you get the idea.
* Luggage Taking unnecessary hand luggage with you. Some people take a brief case to interview.
Why?
It may be an idea to take a copy of your resume with you along with the letter inviting you to interview. If you applied by application form and you followed my guide to application forms then you might want to take your draft copy of the form. Take these in an A4 envelope or in an A4 folder.
Why take them? Because if this is a small or badly organised company they may have mislaid them, being able to offer a copy will allow them to get the most out of the interview and for you to look professional in your approach.
This is only a suggestion and will not usually be required, so why take anything?
You will have to decide, if you are going to take anything in to the interview, but as you can see from the examples above, there is little point in taking anything. As someone trained in interview technique I can tell you that it is noticeable when a potential employee arrives with a brief case and never has to open it in an interview. In fact it has been suggested that there are sandwiches and a flask in there in case the applicant got stuck in a lift!
* Avoid a poor greeting. This is a big subject and related to Body Language (details below).
When you greet someone you should ensure that you do the following things:
1) Look the person in the eye.
2) Smile at them.
3) Shake their hand.
4) Make sure you introduce yourself and remember the name they provide you with in return.
5) When you are offered a seat, if possible let your interviewer take their seat first.
* Poor Body Language/Nervous Mannerisms. Body Language is a big subject but it is worth reading about. I can't cover the subject here but visit http://911resume.com and have a look at our current recommendations.
* Focus The rest of the interview is a case of presenting a positive image of yourself and everything you have done in your working life.
Avoid speaking in a negative way about previous employers to your prospective new employers. After all, if you speak negatively of one employer what is going through the mind of your possible new employer? An interview should be a friendly conversation about work experience, a poor interviewer will sometimes believe that showing you around is an interview, it's not. If you are faced with this sort of interview, take the opportunity to point out your familiarity with the environment by relating it to your past work experience.
For example, if you are shown a piece of software that this company uses and your previous company used a similar but not identical package, then you should discuss it briefly and explain how familiar you are with this sort of software.
* Closing the deal At the end of the interview, take time to thank the interviewer for their time, tell them how interested you are in their company and tell them you will look forward to hearing from them.
Again, keep eye contact and smile, while you are doing this, shake hands and leave. Remember that until you are out of sight of the building you could be watched and therefore you are under scrutiny.
Good luck, I'm sure that the job is yours already, the company just doesn't know it yet! ***
