If there is an interview, for the beginning because I new in Jakarta, my aunt give permit to use her driver to follow me. Sometimes, I using rent a car because I don't want to take benefit from my aunt's kindness. Sometimes, if not too far, I was using public transportation to reach the place. It teach me to stand alone and I'm proud of it :). Cos, I want to proof with my family that I was not weak as they thought. I've ever work in trading company at Exchange Building in Sudirman Street about 2 - 3 weeks because I don't have client. In that office, I must looking for a client by myself. At that time, I thought to have one client which have 100 millions was impossible so I quit from that job. Beside that, it's a high risk job. If I lost my client's money, I must change my client's money and I don't want do that because I don't want my family suffered.
Not long from I quit my last job, my uncle offer me to work in his office as a call center. He said that the job is a shift job. It's OK for me as long as not too risky for me and family. So, I'll take that job. I was call for interview in early of May, 2005. I went to Daan Mogot in West Jakarta with my aunt's driver because she doesn't want loose me if I went alone. She said that it's a dangerous place like Bronx in America. I obeyed her because she knew all over the place in Jakarta. My aunt's born in bigger in Jakarta. But, I don't want if my aunt's driver wait me because I remembered if he must pick my cousin in their school. So, I told to my aunt's driver to drop me in INDOSAT Daan Mogot. He asked me how I returned home ?. I said it's okay, I can ask the security in here the direction.
It's true.... The interview need a long time!!!. If I was stubborn, My cousins will went home with nobody and I don't want they were lost. Back to the story, They were about 20 - 30 people in there. They were from different university and different subject. I was the only one that cames from Central Java and from Diponegoro University, Semarang. I was proud of it ;). I got my interview at 14.00 p.m. and I didn't have lunch. Fortunately, the interviewer heard my pray :) so they prepare some food or snacks for the candidates. The interview contains of general question such as from where I heard this news, where was I born, psychological question such as how are your reaction if you face with the boring situations, how are I controlled if there are bossy client or customer, etc. They were asked me in English, so I explained my opinion also with English. After that I went home. Before I went home, I asked my husband(before he's my boyfriend) Yuwono Ratenha which bus I must take to return to my aunt's house. Unfortunately, he doesn't knew.
So, I asked the security in Daan Mogot, which bus that can take me to the bus stations in Blok M - South Jakarta. He explained to me if I want to go home, I must take a bus number 18 or 69. He explained to me if number 18 was regular bus and I must pay about 2000 rupiahs. If I'll take number 69 it's a bus with AC and I must pay 6000 rupiahs. At that time, there is a bus with number 18, then I ran into the bus. Before it, I said thank you to the security. Why I asked the direction to Blok M ? Because it's the only bus station that I knew and I ordinary use it if I have a date with my hubby :). At that time the bus was not crowded so I can choose the place. I sat down at the front.
When I arrived at my aunt's home, I called her and informed her if I already at her house. I don't want if she worried about me. She asked me about everything that asked in that interview. She was liked my second mother :). A months later when I nearly forgot and when I walked at Cilandak Town Square in South Jakarta, suddenly my phone rang. It's from unknown number. She told me that I was chosen as a candidate to fill position as a call center for the next step so I must come to Gatot Subroto Hospital in Salemba Raya Street for general check up. I must come to that hospital on Monday at 08.00 o'clock sharp. I said that I understood with she said. My aunt asked me from who ?, I answered it's from INDOSAT and she asked me to come on Monday for general check up. My aunt and my cousin said congratulations :). They're happy for me. I said thank you to my aunt that she already helped me and knew my struggle. I said Alhamdulillah to Allah SWT which help me to find a job.
I went to Gatot Subroto Hospital by bus. I must wait for a while, because at that time there are some general check up for army. I met with my friend that come to the interview in Daan Mogot. I introduced myself and we change our cell phone number. After I did my general check up, I came home. If I'm not forget, two days later, I went to KPPTI for general briefing. At that time, I thought, I was place in KPPTI but I miss it. I was place in Daan Mogot. About a week, I have some training about product knowledge of INDOSAT such as Mentari, Matrix. Not only product knowledge that they give. We must tandem with the senior one. It's really difficult at the first time for me. There is an interesting story when I had a training program. I followed a lottery prize from AQUA. The winner will given new beetle car. So, I interested to join it. Everyday, when I get my snack during training, I asked my friends to collect the title of the cup. They asked me what for ?, I answered if I followed a prize.
They with pleasure to help me to collect the tittle and give to me. Day by day, I collect and I sent to AQUA. Two months later, I've got news from my mother in Kudus, if I had a package from AQUA and one day after, AQUA called me and told me if I won one of their prize. I was happy for it :). Thanks Allah that kind to me. Back to story again, The first place that I've had was on Mentari. I was in a group and the team leader was called Mr Lukman Nurdin but he most popular with Buluk (It's from Betawi's word that means he was single but his age was old). He was strict and discipline because his group was the best agent group at that time. The member of Mr Lukman are Mira Asmarani, Dewi Masyitoh, Hendi, Sriyono, Miradona, Wiwik, Asla, me, Afianti, etc. In Mentari, I was only about 4-5 months after that I must move to IM3 because there will be regenerations and the service level is going down day by day.
I was surprise, because when I feel to close with the member of Mr Lukman, we must separate again. From Mr Lukman member that must move to IM3 are me, Afi, Miradonna, and Mbak Wiwik. The rest of that was moving to outbond and half of them move to FMC and 999. Before we move to IM3, we have a vacation for farewell party. We hang out to Dunia Fantasi at Ancol. We went with Mr Lukman's car. All of us were in his car and it's suits us. About 10 - 11 people are in Mr Lukman's car. Can't you imagine ?. We play at Dufan and we went from Dufan at 19.00 o'clock. We ate in Chicken Baked Gantari at Blok M. After ate, Mr Lukman drop me in to my aunt's house. It was unforgettable memory :) and it was fun. The next day, Me, Afi n Miradonna moved to IM3. We did some training again about IM3. It took about 3-4 days for training.
Once again, I must get a good member and fortunately, I was join with Afi again. My first team leader was Mr Didiet Nuryadie. He was more strict than Mr Lukman and the vice team leader was Dwi Lestari Rushartiningsih. She was my brother's friend. My brother ever told me that his friend in architect worked in INDOSAT but he forgot in what division. He told that her name was Dwi. I've just guess when I move to Mr Didiet's team, there was a name called Dwi. I tried to ask her when she come to my desk. I asked her if is it true that she was a girl of Anton ?. She called yes, it's true and she wondered how I knew the name of her boyfriend. I explained her that I have a brother which study in architect. His name is Anto. She was surprise at that time. She said to me how the small world :). I said yes, it's a small world. Mr Didiet's team are Mr Didiet (of course), Dwi Lestari R, Edwinna Rozanna, Afianti, Moh. Gani, Dian Setyarini, a man which I forgot the name (sorry) :). In IM3, I've already change for team leader three times and so with the member. After Mr Didiet come out because of married, my next team leader was Mr Bambang Sugiharto. He was friendly team leader but strict too because he knew that it was a best team. When Mr Bembi that's we called for Mr Bambang S as my team leader, the member of him are Ozi, Moh. Gani, Dian S, Wanda, Edwinna, Dwi L, Miradonna. The last before we moved to Matrix, my last team were lead by Dwi L which before she was my vice team leader. Because of her achievement, she became a team leader.
In the end of July 2006, I moved to Matrix. Again and again, I have in best team and best team leader. My leader in Matrix was Mr Herman but we called him with Herboy because he was single :). He was very strict person more strict than Mr Lukman, Mr Bembi and Dwi L as my leader. If we have fault, as soon as possible, he came to his member and told which was our fault. When I was in Matrix, my world like in a hell because of the situation is different than in Mentari and IM3. Our customer in Matrix more complicated smart. The member of Mr Herboy are Mr Herboy himself, Mr Abu Khair, Khrisna Nugraha, Irwan Apriyanto, Fitri, Sudi Hasnita, etc. Same as I was in IM3, in Matrix I've three until four time change team leader and member. The last time before we moved again to Starone, my team Leader was Titi Nurmala. She was friendly and not strict like Mr Herboy. Everyday in Matrix are disaster and I don't want go there again, amin.
I moved to Starone in the early of January, 2007. It was the best time to move, because after that in Daan Mogot got flood. All the member in Daan Mogot must go to KPPTI. Once again, I save with Allah's hands and moving division. My team leader in Starone was called Miss Riza. She was friendly but strict. In starone, the situations not dangerous as in Matrix :). In February, my supervisor actually asked my friend Linda to help 999 division, but when she goes there, there wasn't a place for her. So, she moved again to Starone. In the next day, My supervisor asked me if I want to move to 999?. I said yes. I've ever told to my friend that already exist but at that time, she moved to other division. In 999, my work more relax because it's just information such as football match, movie schedule, train schedule, etc. I was happy to move in 999. Thanks to Allah SWT that already gave me a nice place :). But, I was no longer in 999. I must follow my hubby to move to Semarang, back to my hometown again. Now, I was still searching a job :( but I knew that Allah SWT have another plan for me and I believe it:)
