Unleash the brain

September 30, 2011

So…this is the last day of Sept 2011, couple of days ago I celebrated my 32nd Bday how old is that :( . But well, this is the moment I am about to enter my new adventurous, challenging, and full-of-excitement days… All I am talking about is new role in new work place.. Only within 2 weeks I got the position I’ve been craving for, a desk-field job, great office, a dream team, and very good cash .. thank be to GOD..It’s an oil n gas company based in Malaysia. The office itself is at Plaza Bapindo Mandiri Tower 21st Floor. A series of work requirements I took, interview, health test etc. Offering letter signed, a week after the interview, a week later the Boss invited me for a lunch meeting at Pacific Place. The meeting was also to inform me that I will be sent to West Sulawesi for a site-visit on my 1st day at work…how interesting is that. A bunch of questions linger in my head..but well, I am so excited..so this is the moment that I will again.., unleash my brain…wish me luck!

Interview with the Vampires

September 16, 2011

Howdy!! we finally graduated from Curtin mixed feelings came altogether, happy for there is one thing left behind (study), sad for leaving Perth, excited for having new job experiences,…but overall SUPER Happy and thanking GOD to put us this far.. The day is Friday (Sept 16), I am blogging, while waiting Ranya sleeps in the bed. It’s just 8pm but she seems exhausted, Unda is hanging out with her friends at Plaza Senayan. We decided to stay as Ranya will have her 1st class tomorrow back to Cikal.

Anyway, I wanna tell a story about how kind universe has been to me. Soon after I completed my master degree, many job offers are coming in. regardless who am I with at the moment, I believe that I have the ability to do what they want to offer. There are so many silly story about all these job thingy. all comes the other way round. I had a couple times a job interview right here, at this house. most of them were not like an interviews, more like a chit chat..with their whole big smile when they talked. Very far from the interview situation. They were also asking me what position do I want to have..errr a lil it awkward, mann..never in my life I heard that a company asking the applicant for a job they want..is this some kind of kissing ass or what?. Last week I had an interview with an oil n gas company named Inpex, the General Manager do the interview himself. I heard no news up until now, it’s still on process I suppose. last week on Wednesday I had another interview with a state-owned bank, the Vice President herself do the interview. End of the day, she said that my application had been forwarded to Citi, with a note from her saying that “this guy (me) would be perfect to work under Dita (read: Dita Amahorseya). I was like..errrr I know this Lady and she’s great. But I don’t know if I can work with her. I taken the challenge though and I wait…and I wait…no news. Actually, I’ve been hearing her name when I was in Maverick. Everyone said she is fair, and strict as well. I have no problem with that , at all. And…yesterday I got a miscall and an sms..it’s the lady another oil and gas company..her text said “Can you please tell me what’s the suitable time to call you..” I read the text 1 hour after it was sent. I immediately called her…, the point is she wanted me to come to Luna Negra to talk further about my employment in her company with the HR Manager. And today I met them at 2pm. The interview itself did last long, but the chit chat took us 3 hours. Prelemenary decision made, I am accepted (alhamdulillah ya Allah) with an amazing offer, in term of number and facilities. They promised me to come up with the paper works by next Monday. Let’s see how it said..and I’ll tell you what’s the situation. why Vampiers, take a conclusion yourselves :)
