Guideline to Filing in the LCVP ER/BD Booklet

Introduction
You are about to begin reading the guideline to filling in the LCVP ERBD Booklet.
Relax. Concentrate. Dispel every other thought. Let the world around you fade. Best
to close the door; the TV is always on in the next room. Tell the others right away,
"No, I don't want to watch TV!" Raise your voice they won't hear you otherwise
"I'm reading something! I don't want to be disturbed!"
Find the most comfortable position: seated, stretched out, curled up, or lying flat.
Flat on your back, on your side, on your stomach. In an easy chair, on the sofa, in
the rocker, the deck chair, on the hassock. On top of your bed, of course, or in the
bed. You can even stand on your hands, head down, in the yoga position.
Well, what are you waiting for? Stretch your legs, go ahead and put your feet on a
cushion, on two cushions, on the arms of the sofa, on the wings of the chair, on the
coffee table, on the desk, on the piano, on the globe. Take your shoes off first. If you
want to, put your feet up; if not, put them back. Adjust the brightness so you wont
strain your eyes. Do it now, because once youre absorbed in reading there will be
no budging you. Try to predict now everything that might make you interrupt your
reading. Cigarettes within reach, if you smoke, and the ashtray. Anything else? All
right, you know best.
So what is this guideline all about?
Well, the purpose of the guideline is to give you a clearer picture of what the
booklet is for, and how you should go about filling it in. So a couple of things to keep
in mind:
1. The purpose of the booklet is not to evaluate/test/select which applicants will
be accepted as a VP. Rather, the booklet is meant as an educational tool
designed to help you start thinking like an LCVP.
2. It is very important that you read the booklet and answer the questions in
order (berurutan). Try not to read a question before youve done the previous
one.
3. You dont have to add a lot of BS (Beautiful Sentences) to your answers. Make
your answers short and to the point.
4. You dont have to apply for an LCVP to benefit from filling in this booklet.
Even if youre a staff thinking of not reterming, reterming, or applying for
manager, this booklet will still help you.
5. Therefore, I recommend all ER/BD members to fill in the booklet just
for the experience.
So with that, lets get started.
Structure of the Booklet

The booklet is divided into two main sections: general questions, and functional
specific questions. General questions are the same for all the LCVP booklets (other
than ER/BD), while functional specific questions are specific to ER/BD only. This
guideline is mainly aimed at the functional specific section, not on the general
questions section.
Indonesian Translation
Yes, thats right. Because some people might understand the booklet better if
written in Indonesian (not you of course, your English is perfectly good), there will
be a translated version of the questions written below, as well as a short
explanation on what the question is asking for.
1. Apa yang dimaksud dengan Golden Rule of Selling dan bagaimana prinsip
ini akan beraplikasi ke aktivitas ER/BD di masa depan?
{Pertanyaan ini jawabnya singkat aja, gausah panjang-panjang. 2-3 kalimat
cukup kok.}

bulan. Nah, rencana lu itu meeting rutin ini mulai terjadi sejak bulan

mulai September? Ataukah menurut lu butuh waktu, dan baru mau
mulai bulan December? Pilih target bulan untuk setiap point perbaikan,
contoh: monthly meeting VP sama member: October.}
c. Apa biaya atau cost dari setiap perbaikan yang lu suggest? Artinya,
untuk implementasi perbaikan itu, manager dan staff lu harus
melakukan apa?
{Contohnya: kalo lu mau meeting per bulan sama member, artinya
kalo staffnya ada 15, per bulan harus minjem ruangan dan nyocokkin
jadwal 15 orang. Jelasin per point perbaikan lu.}

Ya atau tidak per point.
{Gausah dijelasin.)

penampilan menarik. Jelasin 1-2 kalimat aja, pendek aja.}
c. Kan kita tau nih, yang orang katakan ga selalu sama dengan apa yang
mereka lakukan, jadi lu tau dari mana kalo manager yang apply itu
bener-bener punya kriteria yang lu mauin? Lepas dari mereka bilang,
iya gua ganteng ya. Cari cara buat ngetest untuk masing-masing

In case you havent noticed, most of the explanations to the questions involve a
specification on how long the answer should be. This is not an absolute rule, but
simply an idea of how long the answer would be if I were to fill in the booklet. Long
sentences only make it so that it takes longer to read your booklet. Remember that
most people only start reading the booklet on election day, and that there isnt
much time in election day to read the booklet. The audience will naturally skip

longer booklets. Also, you will notice that I use gua and lu. Again I emphasize that
how you say something is less important than what you actually say.
What do I do once Im done?
Well at this point there are two possibilities. If youre planning on applying for the
LCVP position, then you can send your booklet to Daniel Tansie (If Im not mistaken,
and cc to azalia.zatadini@aiesec.net and me) and hell process the application. If
you werent planning on applying at all, then please send the booklet only to me at
shaun.davin@aiesec.net. Why do I have to send the booklet if I dont want to apply
you ask? Well you dont have to, but you probably have some good answers in your
booklet. I could just easily forward your email to the next VP, and maybe he or she
can learn something from your answers. Now, if youre not sure on whether you
want to apply, you could hold on to the booklet and make your decision on the
application deadline. So have fun filling in the booklet! If you have any questions,
feel free to ask me anything.
