1. Choose your preferred team/department and craft your motivational answers accordingly!

PPI London has, in total, 10 team divisions you can join into. Make sure to research the different job descriptions and programs of each respective departments (you can also reach out to the secretariat for more information), and decide which one you want to be a part of!

Some departments receive higher interest from applicants, and thus are more competitive. If you have a strong preference for a department, make sure you show this in your motivational answers! Be specific about your work and achievements, and tell the recruiters why you want to be a part of this department. For instance, if you’re keen on joining the Community Service department, you can write about your volunteer/fundraising experiences and this will be a plus point! Moreover, the Creative Media department will require you to showcase your portfolio, so make sure to keep that in mind and prepare all the administrative requirements well!

But don’t worry, everyone applying will be considered, and even if you don’t get into your first choice, our recruiters will allocate you to one that fits your experiences and skills perfectly!

They will take a look at your CV and get to know more about you during your interview!

2. Prepare your CV and be yourself!

A lot of students applying to PPI London are first-year undergraduates. We understand that being straight out of high school, you may not have encountered a lot of situations in which you were asked to create a CV. However, please don’t let this demotivate you! We’re not looking for the perfect CV, but we’re looking to allocate you to the best department that aligns well with your skills, experiences, and interests!

Just be yourself and be honest! For instance, if you don’t have previous design experiences but still want to join the Creative Media department, this is completely fine! Your achievements will still be considered extremely valuable to the team, and you can start working on a couple of simple designs to submit to PPI London. During the interview, you can then defend your interest and tell us why you want to join the design team even with no prior experiences (I’m sure you have strong reasons for this!).

Finally, our recruiters are students like you, so we understand that you may want to explore and go out of your comfort zones. Therefore, in your CVs, just be yourself, and in the interview, defend your interests!

PPI London always holds an open recruitment for PPI London administrators at the beginning of the new academic year; around September to October. Instagram @ppilondon will definitely post an open recruitment, and usually a form will be prepared for registration as a member of PPI London. However, all Indonesian students in London are registered within PPI London. Open recruitment and registration is only necessary if students are interested in becoming the board of PPI London. As long as the applicant is a student at one of the universities in London, he or she is allowed to become the board of PPI London.

Actually there are no formal requirements and we are very open to registration from any level of education; Undergrad, Masters, PhD, etc. But if the applicant has experience that can help in the division they are listing then it is very useful. For example, if you want to register as an administrator of the Media Kreatif division, maybe the applicant has experience using Photoshop, or for example the final cut pro. Or another example, suppose the applicant wants to become a member of the Pengabdian Masyarakat division, maybe that person has experience in fundraising or other charity work. However, PPI London is very welcome for anyone from any background of experience. We will both learn together and participate within PPI London.

This unit mainly focuses on providing opportunities and a platform for Indonesian students to create and develop themselves. In doing this, we encourage students to create and produce works through the Terbitan Pelajar program. Through this program, every month we socialize a certain topic, often related to global or local issues, and we welcome submissions of all forms (from written to artwork) from all students. We will then curate those submissions to be published on the PPI London website. Meanwhile, in the London Menyapa Podcast program, we, whether that only be the kastrat unit or with other students as guests, discuss global and local issues, also giving our opinions to hopefully spark discussion within the Indonesian student community and keep them informed on relevant issues in their free time.

This unit always works towards a shared goal that PPI London has, which is increasing solidarity between Indonesian students in London and being a platform for Indonesian students to excel and develop themselves. Consequently, by being in this unit you are continuously working towards that goal as well. Through our programs built to provide room to create and be vocal, we are not only facilitating those who are seeking to have their works seen and be heard by others, but by encouraging and welcoming submissions, we are also encouraging students to be productive. Since the submissions for Terbitan Pelajar and involvement in the London Menyapa Podcast are not limited to only Indonesian students in London, students around the world have an equal chance of participating as well.

As public relation team, our job is mostly Strengthens and cultivate better communication and maintain relations with current Indonesian students, alumni as well as Indonesian local communities in the London area particularly. This includes promoting PPI activities in social media platforms, managing PPI communication channels (facebook, twitter, Instagram, youtube, website).

public relation team helps connecting PPI London to outside communities. We act as the salesman in promoting ppi London activities and merchandise. We also post a weekly content including cooking recipes to help Indonesian student cook during this pandemic.

The Career Development Division of PPI London is in charge of handling events and providing resources to Indonesian students in London surrounding their career, regarding topics such as career opportunities, career paths, advice from alumni, networking with professionals, and many more. The ultimate goal is to provide guidance and information to students so that they can start or further their careers with confidence, be it in London or elsewhere.

Finding a job after graduating university has always been a main concern for students, and the Covid-19 pandemic has only further exacerbated this concern as employment grows more competitive with companies cutting down on hiring new employees. By joining this division, one has the chance to take part in alleviating these concerns for fellow students and bridging the information gap for them.

In our most recent webinar last December for example, we held a career talk that broadly covered 3 different career paths/industries namely entrepreneurship, finance industry and the tech industry. During which, we were able to answer questions asked by attendees regarding their concerns about working in the UK as a minority, but also addressing more personal issues in deciding one’s career path. This demonstrated the type of problems that we are able to address and help people with which is incredibly rewarding especially knowing ourselves the difficulties of being a student and starting a career in London.

As a part of the Indonesian student community where we roam to London for knowledge, we would like to give back something to our country. Not only knowledge but also sharing our compassion and love. This year, the Community Service team has the vision to support Indonesian children’s education through books, donation, and sponsorship. We also concern about people back home who are suffering from the current COVID-19 pandemic and would like to lend a hand to support them getting through this difficult time. We always believe, our act of love can be shown in many ways and small action can make a big impact. 

Our focus is to help Indonesian citizen back at home, therefore, our community is the most welcome for any students in London who want to serve the same purpose as we do and influence people to share kindness and love to everyone in need. We thank our country’s effort to fulfil our education needs up to this day, and now as we get older, it’s time for us to express our gratitude to our country. One of the very first projects that we have is supporting Indonesian canteen vendors who suffer from school closure due to the COVID-19 outbreak by purchasing their goods and deliver them to Indonesian orphanages in need. We also at the agreement process with an NGO to help us deliver our act of love in financially support Indonesian kids’ education needs.
