The main session featured a talk show with two inspiring alumni: Kukuh Al Rasyid, S.Si. and Ishaidir Siregar, S.Si., who are now working as geoscientists at PT Geoservices. Moderated by Marlina Tjendra (Geology 2021), the talk show was engaging and full of reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The speakers shared their personal experiences, ranging from their reasons for choosing geophysics as a major, the process of finding their first job, to the challenges and dynamics of working in the geoscience industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI initially chose geophysics because I liked physics and earth sciences, but at first, I kind of \u2018ended up here by accident\u2019 since I didn\u2019t get into the major I originally wanted. However, it was here that I discovered my passion and career path,\u201d recalled Kukuh Al Rasyid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Ishaidir emphasized the reality after graduation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCompetitions and GPA are indeed important, but they\u2019re not enough. What matters more is perseverance, consistency, and mental readiness to face rejection and keep trying,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The speakers also highlighted that the most striking difference between academic life and the professional world lies in the responsibility and pressure to meet professional expectations that directly impact the team, company, and environment. They also emphasized the importance of communication skills, cross-generational teamwork, and the ability to adapt to more complex risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n After the talk show session, the event continued with a prize-winning Q&A session that was met with great enthusiasm from the participants. Questions about strategies for entering the professional world, tips on networking, and the dynamics of the geoscience industry flowed actively from the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a closing, the speakers delivered motivational messages to the students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPrepare yourself starting now\u2014don\u2019t wait until later. Expand your network, don\u2019t be too idealistic about a single plan, and stay open to various possibilities. Sometimes the best path comes from the direction we least expect,\u201d said Ishaidir in his closing statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event concluded with the presentation of souvenirs to the speakers as a token of appreciation, followed by a group photo session capturing the inspiring moments of the UI Geoscience Seminar X STARBORN MENGAJAR 2025 series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Departemen Geosains Fakultas Matematika dan Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam Universitas Indonesia (FMIPA UI) kembali menggelar UI Geoscience Seminar X STARBORN MENGAJAR 2025 pada Senin, 29 September 2025, bertempat di Aula Prof. Dr. G.A.
