Mempersiapkan Diri Menghadapi Persaingan Tenaga Kerja Lokal dengan Tenaga Kerja Asing

Ibarat menghadapi pertempuran, sekelompok pasukan yang ingin pergi bertempur tentu harus melakukan persiapan agar bisa memenangkan pertempuran. Kecil kemungkinan pasukan tersebut akan bisa menang jika datang ke medan pertempuran hanya berbekal nyali dan semangat. Musuh pasti sudah mempersiapkan perlengkapan terbaik mereka agar kesempatan untuk menang kian besar. Karena itu, pasukan mana dengan persiapan yang lebih baik, hampir bisa dipastikan akan menang dalam pertempuran.

Begitu juga dengan datangnya berlakunya pasar bebas ASEAN. Masyarakat Ekonomi Asean (MEA) menjadi arena persaingan antar negara-negara Asia Tenggara. Tidak hanya di arena olahraga dalam bentuk SEA Games, tetapi dalam konteks kompetisi dalam bidang ekonomi, satu sama lain negara-negara ASEAN bersaing.

Beberapa Kiat Praktis dalam Menghadapi MEA dan Tenaga Kerja Asing

Keberadaan MEA perlu disikapi secara positif. Negara yang cepat tanggap, baik dalam inovasi, pembuatan regulasi, maupun penyediaan infrastruktur, berpeluang untuk mendapatkan banyak keuntungan dari penyelenggaraan MEA. Bagi pelaku bisnis, berikut ini beberapa kiat-kiat yang bisa dilakukan agar benar-benar merasakan keuntungan dari penyelenggaraan MEA.

  

1. Leadership

Jiwa kepemimpinan yang baik sangat dibutuhkan dalam situasi atau pekerjaan apa pun, termasuk pada masa MEA saat ini. Orang-orang dengan jiwa kepemimpinan akan memiliki kemampuan untuk mengatur dan sangat peduli terhadap kemajuan kelompok atau perusahaan yang dipimpinnya. Pemimpin yang memiliki jiwa leadership akan berusaha sekuat tenaga demi kemajuan perusahaannya.

2. Public Speaking

Baik sebagai perwakilan perusahaan maupun tenaga kerja, memiliki kemampuan public speaking jelas penting dalam karier atau menjalankan bisnis apa pun, termasuk dalam penyelenggaraan MEA. Dengan memiliki kemampuan ini, seseorang bisa menarik perhatian orang lain agar mau menuruti kemauannya. Tentu saja hal ini bisa dimanfaatkan sebagai alat pemasaran yang efektif.

3. Bahasa Asing

Bersaing secara internasional mau tidak mau pasti dituntut untuk bisa berkomunikasi dengan menggunakan bahasa asing. Terlebih jika menguasai bahasa-bahasa yang digunakan negara-negara ASEAN, tentu akan sangat mendukung dalam era MEA ini.

4. Project Management

Project management adalah kemampuan seseorang dalam membuat rancangan sebuah proyek. Dalam hal ini, yang dirancang adalah waktu pengerjaan, kekuatan, dan kelemahan yang bisa membawa proyek akan berhasil atau justru akan menemui kegagalan.

5. Negosiasi dan Mediasi

Pengusaha yang pandai dalam hal negosiasi dan mediasi bisa dengan cepat memutuskan persoalan atau masalah. Pada era pasar bebas, interaksi dengan perusahaan asing tentu akan memberikan perbedaan cara pandang yang berbeda dengan yang kita alami setiap hari. Karena itu, memiliki kemampuan tersebut akan sangat membantu memecahkan persoalan.

6. Networking

Sudah jelas bahwa jaringan yang luas bisa meningkatkan potensi keuntungan yang bisa didapatkan perusahaan. Memiliki kemampuan dalam menjalin relasi akan semakin berpeluang dalam meraih kesuksesan pada masa depan.

7. Rendah Hati

Dorong diri kita untuk selalu rendah hati dalam segala hal. Setelah berhasil meningkatkan kemampuan diri dan menguasai banyak keahlian, bukan berarti kita menjadi sombong dan berhenti belajar. Orang yang mau terus belajar akan menjadi aset yang penting dalam perusahaan pada masa MEA.

8. Openness

Berbenturan dengan budaya lain adalah konsekuensi yang tidak bisa dihindari dalam pasar bebas internasional. Baik pekerja maupun pebisnis tetap perlu menerima perbedaan pandangan dan budaya agar tercipta harmoni dan keselarasan demi mendapatkan keuntungan yang lebih banyak.

9. Ingin Tahu dan Kritis

Menjadi orang yang kritis akan mendorong orang tersebut untuk menjadi orang yang selalu berpikir ke depan. Setiap kesalahan bisa menjadi kesempatan yang bisa dimanfaatkan untuk perbaikan. Rasa ingin tahu akan membuat seseorang untuk selalu mendapatkan pengetahuan yang lebih banyak dari yang sudah mereka miliki.

10. Profesionalisme

Pada era MEA dan sebelumnya, bisa dikatakan profesionalisme adalah karakter yang sangat diperlukan, baik oleh calon tenaga kerja yang ingin bekerja di luar negeri maupun pengusaha Indonesia yang akan menjalin kerja sama dengan perusahaan asing. Berpikir dan bekerja secara profesional akan mengundang pujian dari orang lain.

At the time, the monkey was in dangerous situation and he had to think hard. Then he had a good idea. He told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank. “What’s for?” asked the crocodile. “Because I don’t bring my heart,” said the monkey. “I left it under a tree, near some coconuts in the river bank.”

The crocodile agreed and turned around. He swam back to the bank of the river. As soon as they reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back. Then he climbed up to the top of a tree.

Movie Review : The Accountant (2016)

Synopsis

Once The Treasury Department pursues an accountant with underworld ties, he evades them by taking a legitimate client – but when he learns millions of dollars are missing from the company, can he uncover the culprit before the authorities catch up with him?

Story

Christopher Wolff (Affleck) runs a rather non-descript accounting firm in a strip mall in the Midwest; it returns a modest profit, but where he really gets most of his extremely substantial income is by plying his trade for some very high-powered international criminals.  Wolff works for many dangerous men and given his own extensive training in martial arts and weapons, he happens to be pretty dangerous himself.  Why is Wolff able to command such high prices for his services?  Obviously, it’s because he’s quite good.  However, he’s so good at his chosen occupation because of his disability:  he’s a mathematical genius who’s been treated for autism since childhood.

But Wolff’s life is far from trouble-free.  The United States government is hot on his tail.  In order to prosecute these criminals, they have to follow the money – and all of their money leads to Wolff.  As a result, the Treasury Department is tasked with investigating; lead officer Ray King (J.K. Simmons) recruits Special Agent Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) to head up the case, which could turn out to redefine their careers if it’s handled properly.  Medina immediately gets to work on trying to find who exactly is helping these malefactors launder their money.

Once Wolff learns the government may be pursuing him, he tries to drop off their radar by taking a more standard consulting job at a robotics firm.  The owner of the company (John Lithgow) hired him to ascertain where and how millions of his organization’s dollars disappeared.  Helping Wolff in his research is an employee (Anna Kendrick) who initially reported the discrepancy.  But when Wolff figures out that the root cause of the missing funds is something more nefarious than just a simple bookkeeping error, will he be willing to risk his life to bring the real culprit to justice?

Positive

One thing that is very visible from the film The Accountant is how extensively this film to prioritize the character development of each character in this film. The film is well able to show the sides of Chritian Wolff where he as a person with autism disorder wants "normal" things like socializing with a friend or co-worker, but because of the disorder he becomes awkward. The character of Wolff is also very well made where his past is very influential in his present self.

It seems to me that I always mention a specific mental disorder that is autism which is certainly an obstacle that is not wanted by anyone, but it should be said that this film can very well be able to "simulate" people with autism disabilities. Perhaps this is supported by the performance of Ben Affleck is very spectacular. Each expression, dialogue, intonation of voice, and motion style is very selling character that he played. In this film there is no performance below average - average. All the players in this movie can imaged his character well, although his character only appears briefly as a backstory character.

From the story side of the movie The Accountant has a fairly complex story where the film is jumping - jump time from the past to the present in some places and a fairly long storyline so it takes the attention of the audience. So I need to warn that this film needs attention from us as audiences to be understood more deeply. The way the director and the film crew filmed The Accountant is very good because each action scene can be seen clearly without a shaky cam, each scene interactions between characters, individual scenes that show Wolff characters deeper and panning scenes taken well. No camera shooting looks awkward, every direction the camera imaging an emotion or a situation that is happening well.

Negative

Now we go to the negative side of this film where although above I say that this movie has a good story, but there are times - the time where the film was too long. There are some scenes that existed in this film that can be honestly deleted and ultimately will not have a major impact on the overall story of this movie. Plus the pacing of this film slowly that can cause the film audiences bored and have a bad impression on the first 30 minutes of this film. In addition, action scenes may be for some people can be spelled out too far away from each other so you could say pacing from this movie is rather uneven. One more thing is that at the end of the film ends unfortunately there is a very expository exposition dialogue that may be for some people appreciate the exposition of such a story but is not it better if the story is exposed to the scenes and dialogue that exists. The problem is that the filmmakers have shown that they are able to create an interesting scene with dialogue that can absorb the audience. This causes the scene of this exposition to feel forced. Like on the steps of the executive hollywood says that the film is too complex and needs an exposition for the audience to understand. This honestly shows that the films from the beginning already appreciate the audience by providing interesting dialogue and scenes and complex stories eventually sell themselves to the status of generic films that do not need the attention of the audience.

Advice

The Accountant would be more entertaining if it just acknowledged its own nerdy outlandishness. Still, it’s something to watch Affleck play a man who has trouble expressing his feelings and struggles to read those of others.
