Searching, Waiting and Praying..

Now I really really feel how difficult looking for the job is. It is very difficult to decide what my interests are to determine what positions that will suit me the most. I have sent more than 5 applications to 5 companies, but only 1 company that gladly replied me.

I was very tremendously happy when I was invited to job interview by Accenture at Jakarta. My bf gladly accompanied me, driving almost 3 hours from Bandung to Sudirman, Jakarta and another 2 hours from Jakarta to Bandung. My bf's sister lent me her shirt, pant, suit and shoes. I really really thanked to them. I was interviewed by the Senior System Integration that has been worked there for 9 years. That was a wonderful experience since that was my very first job interview and I knew I really screwed it up. But, I think the interviewer likes me since she gave me a call in the morning. Unluckily, my stomach did not feel good at that time, so I asked her to call me in another hour. Unluckily and sadly, she never calls until now.. I've tried to call her back, but she always away for her works. So, finally, I just take those as my first experience in job interview.

When I went back for holiday at my hometown, I also sent 2 applications. But only 1 that invited me for the writing test, interview and medical check-up. The job really really did not associate with my degree. I feel so sad right now that I can not practice what I have been taught during my degree. But, my parents always remind me that the position is not important. Our degree taught us how to think logically which then can also be used in any sectors in working.

Now, I just sent 1 more application for company on Singapore. Did my resume really do not impress them? I know I don't have any work experiences before.. Is that the reason? All I am doing right now is still Searching, Waiting and Praying...

Politics atmosphere in South Sumatra

For the very first time, every province can choose their own governor like what is happening right now. On 4th Sept 2008, every people in South Sumatra will use their rights to vote their own favorite leader.
All the brochures, flags and still many more properties are everywhere on every side of South Sumatra. There are only two candidates, ALDY and SOHE.

ALDY consists of Alex Noerdin and Eddy Yusuf. Alex Noerdin is the leader of Musi Banyuasin (MUBA) area, a small area in South Sumatra. He is the first man that contributed a lot to the education of MUBA people. It can be seen from his website. One of his contribution is that he gives FREE MEDICATION and FREE SCHOOL to everyone on MUBA. He also plans the similar thing if he can be the future governor. He even has prepared many 'small special places' that will function to give free medication as soon as he wins the election.

SOHE consists of Syahrial Oesman and Helmy Yahya. Syahrial Oesman is the current governor while Helmy Yahya is one of the artists that also a creative director on some companies. Oesman has contributed a lot to the infrastructure in South Sumatra, especially Palembang. Palembang is included as the big 5 province in Indonesia. Last time, we did not have a mall, but now we have 3 malls. We even have a highway that is on construction. The best thing is that when Palembang become the champion on the football tournament.

However, the bad situation keeps on arising since we can see some videos (not sure if they are real or fiction..) from youtube.com, started from unsatisfaction from MUBA's residents to Noerdin about Free medication and Free School until his scandal and his suspicious SMU's certificate. This website also shows the Oesman's action on Genting.

I just confused. Nobody's perfect in this world. Every candidate has their own strengths and weaknesses. So, it will be better to follow your heart and select the one that can make our South Sumatra better and better..
