Jika kita ingin melamar suatu perkerjaan di perusahaan lain alangkah baiknya kita mencari informasi tentang perusahaan melalui website/medsos lainnya tentang  perusahaan tersebut.

Seperti gambar diatas info lowongan kerja harus masih baru, kurang lebih 1 minggu. Biasanya kita dapat mendapat info loker dari koran, majalah, medsos dll. Supaya lamaran diterima oleh manager perusahaan yang dilamar, tentulah menggunakan bahasa yang baik dan penulisan yang benar, serta kerapian dalam tata letak juga harus diperhatikan.
