Ely began the session with "knowing yourself" material. In this session, the participants were asked to fill the questionnaire to assess their personality. The result of the self-assessment was being matched with the "DiSC Profile" which had been explained before. According to Ely, DiSC Profile consisted of character types as: Dominance, Influence, Submission, and Compliance. Ely continued the session by connecting the criteria mentioned with the criteria needed by the companies of the panelists. She highlighted that it is important to match the interest with job being applied.
After the lunch break, CV making coaching and interview training were the next agenda. In this second session, it is emphasized that in making CV, participants should match it with the job applied. Then, in the interview, participants need to show their confidence and ethics. In this training, participants were asked to sit in pairs to do the peer interview with the points arranged before. Afterwards, three selected participants were invited to exercise the interview with the panelists. Experts commented that the participants should improve the technical manner in interview before experiencing real work interview, so that it could generate maximum result.
