I got a chance to change my life through this.. Associate Member program, brought up by my campus’s IT Division. I am so excited.. Wow! I never thought I’d have the chance like my brother had. My brother was employed by KPMG Indonesia when he was on his 2nd semester. KPMG is one of the 4 big auditing company among Price WaterHouse Cooper (PWC), Delloite, and Ernst & Young. I was so proud of him. AND envy. I thought I’ll never be able to catch up with him..
It was my first time. When we were enjoying our General Orientation, one of our seniors told us about this program. And then, I was like “Whoa! This is my chance! My shot! This is what I’ve been waiting for!! I gotta join this!” So, when the time comes for us to have somekind of tour, a welcoming party, I registered along with others. I don’t know how many percentage I have to become success in this. I don’t know how hard the test is going to be, I don’t have the basics of computers, I just know I gotta do this. So, I ignore all doubts. Like in Lukas Graham’s song 7 Years, “I only see my goals, I don’t believe in failure. ‘Cause I know the smallest voices they can make it major.”
I go through my first logical test. I just, like I said, do it.. Having no idea about what the hell I’m doing there. But, surprise, surprise! I passed! I didn’t have any notifications. I thought I failed at the first test. How stupid I am. And, all in the sudden, I passed! So, we went straight to the next. Training.
1st training was about HyperTextMarkupLanguage (HTML). It was, pfffttt. Easy. No sweat. Went through it. Been there, done that when the test comes. Then comes the next. SQL. It’s quite hard at first. I thought I just have to learn harder. Frankly, it was really hard. Time goes by, and it just got harder. My passion breaks down and my hope fades. Then, comes the test. I tried. Jesus. Heaven knows I tried. I thought, “alright, Sion. This is the end of your journey here. No more hope. You failed this test.” I even told that to my friend, Okie! He said, “no way, man! Just believe yourself. You will pass through this. I don’t do much either. But, maybe better than you are.” A few days passed and I got the schedule of the next training. I was shocked. I passed again! The third was, php if I was right.. It wasn’t so hard.
Php is our final training. So, whatever this project is going to bring, It’s going to be a join operations of HTML, Javascript, SQL, and PHP. My thought was right. It is a join operations when we got our project. Damn. This is hard. I managed to make some javascripts, HTML pages, create an SQL Server in phpMyAdmin, and connect to it using PHP. But (there’s always a but), I can’t use the data that I have entered to MySQL. The deadline is closing in and I don’t know what is wrong with the code. Damn! Until the end, I was unable to use it. So, I hand it over.
A few weeks, maybe months I can’t remember, there was no information. No phone calls, no messages, no emails. Until, we got emails that wants us to come by to be briefed about our stationing during the On-Job Training (OJT). This is like, a dream coming true. I was so happy. Apparently, the OJT didn’t turn out as I suspected. I didn’t manage to finish the job on time, and my seniors looked disappointed. I thought, this is it, then. Bye bye. Turns out I was wrong. A few weeks later, we suddenly got email that request us to be interviewed. I don’t believe this! I made it to the interviews! Then, a total silent. Just nothing. Until, I got an email that wants me to signed the employment contract. I was so excited. My soul was jumping around. YES! I finally made it! Even my email was sent late because they forgot, but I got it! I passed!
After the OJT and signing of the contract, we got invited to another training for iOS. It was fun! I like it. Then, we got stationed. I was sad when I was separated from my friend Okie. He got stationed at Technology Development just like on training. While I got stationed at Binus Creates. Yes. I forgot. on training, I got stationed at Marketing section. But, then, after a week of no words, I got re-stationed to help TechDev Team and I got to join Okie again! While my other friend, Khallisa, is still the System Analyst for Marketing section.
Well, I think that’s enough for now.. I’m quite tired. See you next time, guys!
