INTRODUCTION Work is one of the life goals of every person, where the goal is to carry out the life lived as well as being a factor to meet the needs they have.
But of course, getting a job is not as easy as imagined, meaning it requires careful preparation so that it has the potential to distance yourself from This applies to all groups and levels of education, including students.
Based on the official website of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), states that the unemployment rate in the student category in 2021 is at 999,543.
One of the factors, which influence the emergence of unemployment is personal unpreparedness .
ork readines.
to be able to answer and meet the resources needed.
Hasibuan (Agusta, 2.
stated that work readiness is a person's capacity to improve their ability to work to get a reward.
Thus, improving job readiness while in college is very important.
According to Caballero, et al.
, .
, work readiness has four aspects, including .
personal characteristic, .
organizational acumen, .
work competence, and .
But the fact is that every person is different about the level of job readiness they have, one of the factors found is personality differences (Winkel and Hastuti in Agusta, 2.
According to Jung .
n Alwisol, 2.
states that personality is the system of everyone that will affect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, from consciousness to the unconscious.
Many theories explain personality, one of which is the big five personalities.
According to McCrae and Costa .
n Feist and Feist, 2.
, the theory has five dimensions including .
Openness to Experience is a type of identifying related to the percentage of interest in a particular field or expertise both in general and Conscientiousness is a personality type that is assumed as a process of identifying a person's ability to be careful in seeking and setting a goal.
Extraversion is a personality type that is closely connected to a person's behavior to understand and recognize the ability he has in building and establishing relationships with others.
Agreeableness is one of the personality types that has a percentage in giving a rating between high and low.
Neuroticism is one type that has two characteristics, namely reactive and resilient.
Based on research by Izekor .
explains that there are at least several dimensions of the big five personalities that affect readiness to work.
Then.
Ramadhania and Dewi .
gave a similar explanation that there is a dimension of HEXACO as a development of the big five personalities that affect job readiness in nursing students.
The difference between previous research and the latest lies in one of the variables used, namely the work readiness variable.
And there is still a lack of research that links the variables of the big five personalities and the variables of work readiness, both qualitatively and quantitatively by making students as subjects.
The purpose of the study is to determine the level of work readiness in final-year students of Semarang State University and to know the influence of the big five personalities on work readiness variables in final-year students of Semarang State University.
METHOD
This study used a quantitative approach, with a correlational type.
The population in this study is students of Semarang State University.
Based on the criteria, namely final year students .
and taking study programs and majors in pure science from each faculty.
The sampling carried out is a random sampling technique, it is done because of the large number of populations owned.
While the data collection method used is Likert Scale.
The scale used in the research is the work readiness scale with 40 items and the BFI (Big Five Inventor.
scale with 44 items that have been adapted and standardized by (Ramdhani, 2.
The definition of operational variable work readiness is the level of ability of each individual to prepare themselves to face the world of work and the work they will have.
So that the higher the score obtained by the individual, the better and more mature the level of work readiness owned.
Meanwhile, the operational definition of the big five personalities is one of Moh.

the psychological measurement tools that aims to classify and assess the personality of each So, the higher the score owned by respondents on one of the traits, the stronger the traits are attached to the respondent.
In this study, the data analysis used was Multiple Linear Analysis with the help of software.
The series in data processing includes, conducting f tests .
, coefficients of determination (R.

The basis for making decisions regarding hypotheses will be based on Ghozali .

Thus, it can be concluded that work readiness for finalyear students of Semarang State University for the class of 2018 is included in the medium category.
The results of the descriptive analysis test are similar to the research conducted by Baiti, et al.

Based on the results of the partial hypothesis test in the table above, state that of the five dimensions of the big five personalities, there is only one dimension, namely extraversion which positively and significantly affects work readiness.

The results of the t .
test are continuous with several previous studies, which stated that the extraversion dimension affects work readiness.
Izekor .
and Ramadhania and Dewi .
jointly provide the results of the extraversion dimension positively and significantly affecting the work readiness variable.
Then, a recent study conducted by Zholudeva, et al.
, .
provides information that extraversion is a predictor variable that positively affects work readiness with a significance of 0.
The results of this study are expected to be a parameter material regarding the level of work readiness in final year students .
, which at the level is in the medium category with a percentage of 78% or around 198 students.
Nevertheless, students should not stop developing and improving their capacity.
This aims to increase selling points in the world of work and industry in addition to other formal certificates.
The limitation of this study lies in the lack of previous research to support the latest researchers .
Then, as a result, the limitation found is the low influence .
between the variables of the big five personalities on work readiness.
