The Challenge
Dr. Arniwita, Head of the Career Center at Universitas Muhammadiyah Jambi (UM Jambi), faced mounting obstacles. A staff member had been transferred out of province, leaving her to manage the entire career center alone while simultaneously serving as a regional advisor and organisational leader.
The unit struggled with:
- Low alumni participation in tracer studies
- Unverified job postings scattered across messaging apps and social media
- No centralised alumni database
- Resource constraints that made scaling services nearly impossible
Dr. Arniwita acknowledged feeling pessimistic about the unit's viability under these conditions.
The SeeMeSOL Approach
Rather than simply offering a technology subscription, SeeMeSOL provided personalised guidance and genuine understanding of regional campus dynamics. The support transcended technical implementation — acknowledging the real human challenges behind running a career center under constraint.
Dr. Arniwita formed a student intern team called "Crew SeeMeCV UM Jambi" to actively promote the platform through leaflets, campus presentations, and direct support to students and alumni — turning the implementation into a community effort.
Results Achieved
- Increased student and alumni engagement in career activities
- Improved job posting credibility and centralised management
- Stronger professional relationships with employer organisations
- Organised, accessible alumni data for institutional reporting and tracer studies
"SeeMeCV arrived when we needed support most and helped us recover. The assistance transcended technical matters — it felt emotional too."
Dr. Arniwita has expressed interest in enhanced data reporting features for more comprehensive career analysis — and considers the current platform substantially valuable to the institution's growth and student outcomes.
