| dc.description.abstract | Every fresh graduate will face a transition period from the world of education to the world of
career, and in this transition period it is necessary to adjust themselves to the career they will be
aiming for. One form of individual readiness to face obstacles in career transition requirements is
careful career planning. The objectives of this research include: 1) To find out the indicators that
affect the career planning of FISIP USU fresh graduates in 2023 after graduating from college,
2) To find out the career planning strategies carried out by fresh graduates FISIP USU in 2023
after graduating from university.
Type of research is qualitative research whose data collection techniques are in the form of
observation techniques, in-depth interviews (in depht) and documentation. The informants in this
study are 7 fresh graduates of FISIP USU in 2023.
The results of the study show that the phases experienced by FIFIP USU fresh graduates in their
transition period after graduating from university include indecision in making decisions, namely
the condition of being considered difficult and doubtful of the decision that will be or has been
taken, depressed, which is a situation that is considered an individual, there is hope and social
pressure when facing the demands of life to be independent and anxious, that is, a condition
where they are worried about things that has not yet happened regarding the future. In terms of
career planning indicators in the aspect of recognizing self-competence, of the five informants,
only one informant explained about his competence. In the indiscope of preparing career
planning, the informants admitted that preparing a career plan since the lecture period is
important, but in practice out of the five informants, only two informants apply it. Furthermore,
in the indicator of career curiosity, all informants apply this concept, this is evidenced by their
actions who follow a lot of job vacancy websites on social media. And in the indicator of
practicing skills, only two informants applied the concept. Furthermore, factors that affect the
career planning of FIFIP USU fresh graduates after graduating from university include lack of
work experience and skills. Furthermore, in the career planning strategy carried out by fresh
graduates of FISIP USU based on the results of the research showed that the five informants had
different perceptions in implementing their career planning strategies, only one informant had
implemented a career planning strategy since the lecture period, the rest of the informants were
only focused on following job seeker websites such as Linkedin, Jobstreet, Glints, Karir.com and
so on. Perception includes the receipt of the stimulus, the organization of the stimulus and the
translation or interpretation of the stimulus that has been organized in a way that can influence
behavior and attitude formation. This research can also be continued with different issues,
namely problems in determining careers for fresh graduates after graduating from university,
from this topic can develop this research more broadly about how fresh graduates are able to
overcome doubts in determining their careers. | en_US |
