意味
Searching for employment
文化的背景
Job hunting is often seen as a family responsibility. Relatives will actively look for 'info loker' for you. The term 'nyari gawe' is very popular among the youth and creative industry workers. Twitter (X) and Instagram are huge for 'cari kerja'. People use the term 'info loker' to ask for leads. Despite the informal 'cari kerja', having a 'LinkedIn' profile is now mandatory for white-collar job seekers in big cities.
Use 'Lagi'
Always add 'lagi' (currently) to sound more natural: 'Lagi cari kerja'.
Avoid 'Melihat'
Never say 'melihat kerja' for 'looking for a job'. It sounds like you are literally watching someone work.
