One of the Toughest Part in Life: Finding the Right Job

Well, this journey starts at a part of my life where i was on my final year of college.

yes, it was when the career service team of SBM starts to tell us to start to figure out where we're going to work when we graduate, what short of job we really want and all that kind of stuffs.

well, my journey starts when i applied for P&G, i think it was in the beginning of 2006. i did all the things that i should do, but the internet in ITB was so lame and pathetic, so it made things worser... in this first journey, I FAILED!

then, i can't really remember which one was the second.
during those times i was always applying for nearly all job offered by the SBM Career Service. Until the time on July 2007 when they held the 1st SBM's Career Fair. I applied to 10 companies out of 12 (i guess).

after that i always checked my SBM email and apply for the companies that interest me.

about a month before my graduation ceremony, there was an email notification that i am eligible to follow recruitment process in two companies, Brittish American Tobacco ands Garudafood. After struggling for 2 long days, eventually I FAILED AGAIN!

During the fasting month, i got a really surprising call from one of my dream company, BANK MANDIRI. for this one i flew miles away from Pekanbaru to Jakarta. I got a bit lucky this time. I pass the first tests, which was TOEFL test. But I FAILED on the second test, Apptitude Test.

Then, a about two weeks after my graduation ceremony, i got a notification from HSBC. WOOOOWWW... i was so thrilled that time. i followed the test, but at the moment i already know that I'M FAILING. well, it came true.

next, if i'm not forgotten, was a futures excahnge company in Pekanbaru. it wasn't a big company, but they also DID'NT ACCEPT ME!

then, i applied for english teacher post in LBPP LIA. that time i was really counting on this one. but, unfortunately i failed on the 4th test...ohh..daammn...

i move on to get more application...

i got a call from PT Fastfood Indonesia a.k.a KFC, i did the interview, but haven't heard anything from them since then...

the last one would be, one of the biggest media group in Indonesia, MNC. for this one i also flew miles away from home...it was a really exhausting 1 day test. the next day i know I FAIL Again! FYI, in this recruitment process, there were 11,000 applicants, +/- 1,000 was called for test, and finally there will only be 30 people hired...wooww...

hmmm...i really have no clue where this journey will end. i just can keep on hoping, praying, and believing, that Allah has prepared a really great place for me...

za. i know this is one of hardest part of ur life. but... dont give up, okay?

nyari kerja kayak nyari jodoh ya za, gampang2 susah :) za, rata2 kan yang elo apply big companies semua. yah ada satu yang lo bilang gak terlalu besar.. but.. big company means more competitor.. jadi coba cari yang sedeng2 aja dulu.. :)

di balik kesusahan selalu ada kemudahan za :)

dont worry (be happy. hehehe..). kamu tidak sendirian. aku pun merasakan seperti yg dirimu rasakan. gagal, gagal, gagal, dan gagal lagi. tp justru itu yg buat kita jadi belajar utk jadi lebih baik lagi dan belajar utk bisa nerima kekalahan. walopun kadang suka drop lagi klo denger cerita tmn2 kita yg lancar2 aja menggapai karir mereka. hehehe :p

pokoke yg terpenting kita tidak boleh berenti berusaha dan berdoa. jgn ngeluh aja bisanya. keep smiling.. okeh??
