<![CDATA[Rapid digitalization has changed how job seekers access vacancies, prepare application documents, and communicate with prospective employers. However, access to smartphones does not automatically ensure that productive-age citizens can use digital technology for employment purposes. This community service activity aimed to strengthen the soft skills and digital literacy of residents of RT 011, Kwitang, Senen, Central Jakarta, as basic components of employability. The activity involved 15 participants and was implemented face-to-face through lectures, discussions, simulations, direct practice, and individual assistance. The materials covered professional communication, teamwork, discipline, responsibility, time management, preparation of a simple curriculum vitae, professional use of email, online job searching, evaluation of vacancy information, and interview simulation. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test and post-test scores, observation, and participant feedback. The average score increased from 56 in the pre-test to 80 in the post-test, representing a 42.86% improvement. Participants also demonstrated greater confidence in introducing themselves, expressing opinions, identifying reliable job information, and preparing employment documents. The activity produced presentation materials, evaluation instruments, and an educational poster entitled “6 Steps to Improve Employability.” These results indicate that integrating soft-skills training with practical digital literacy can provide an initial improvement in community work readiness. Continued mentoring and more flexible scheduling are recommended to broaden participation and support the sustained application of the acquired skills. Digitalisasi telah mengubah cara pencari kerja memperoleh informasi lowongan, menyiapkan dokumen lamaran, dan berkomunikasi dengan calon pemberi kerja. Namun, kepemilikan telepon pintar belum selalu diikuti kemampuan memanfaatkan teknologi untuk kepentingan pekerjaan. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan memperkuat soft skills dan literasi digital warga RT 011 Kelurahan Kwitang, Kecamatan Senen, Jakarta Pusat, sebagai komponen dasar employability. Kegiatan diikuti oleh 15 peserta dan dilaksanakan secara tatap muka melalui ceramah, diskusi, simulasi, praktik langsung, dan pendampingan individual.

Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pre-test, post-test, observasi, dan umpan balik peserta. Nilai rata-rata meningkat dari 56 pada pre-test menjadi 80 pada post-test, atau naik sebesar 42,86%. Peserta juga menunjukkan peningkatan keberanian dalam memperkenalkan diri, menyampaikan pendapat, mengenali informasi lowongan yang layak, dan menyiapkan dokumen lamaran. Kegiatan menghasilkan modul presentasi, instrumen evaluasi, dan poster edukasi “6 Langkah Meningkatkan Employability”. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa integrasi pelatihan soft skills dengan praktik literasi digital dapat memberikan penguatan awal terhadap kesiapan kerja warga. Pendampingan lanjutan dan penjadwalan yang lebih fleksibel diperlukan untuk memperluas partisipasi dan mempertahankan penerapan keterampilan.]]>
