Hunting For Job In Indonesia

If looking for a job in Indonesia, one must be open to networking and actually going out to meet people in their workplaces. Indonesia is not an information-based society and therefore try and get your resume out to businesses and they may even pass it on to other businesses if they do not have an opening or store it themselves for when they get an opening.

Networking is often key in finding employment and any job seeker should be open to handing out cards and resumes to businesses, being part of local community organizations such as sport clubs and churches, and  join an expatriate business association (your home country should have a business, chamber of commerce in Indonesia you can contact).

One must also be willing to volunteer as it may lead to valuable business connections. You must simply be ready to meet new people. And when you meet someone in your relevant field, exchange details so that your details can be exchange(d) within the sector you are looking to be employ(ed) in.
