Cikarang (Work And Love)

Episode 15's

Send a job application letter at the post office.

The morning has come back, as usual people do their activities. Working in the morning, there are also those who just came home from work because they entered the night. Every day is never empty, many people pass by either on foot or by vehicle.

Warung bongkok, one of the places in Cikarang. In Warung Bongkok there is a factory, PT. Sandang and there's a steel mill. Every day the streets are never empty. Especially when leaving and going home from work. The streets are crowded, with vehicles and people going to and from work.

That morning Dinda and Tini were getting ready to go to the post office. They walked up near the bamboo monument. That's where they waited for Erna's mba to go together to the post office. Not long after that Erna came. Eventually they took public transport to the post office.

Upon arrival at the post office in the Cibitung area, it turns out that there are also many people who are at the post office. On average, they will send a job application letter. On the sidelines waiting for the queue, Dinda looked at the notice board. On the board there are many on the paste sheet of paper that contains information about job vacancies.

Because he brought a pen and notebook, Dinda wrote several factory addresses that opened job openings that fit the criteria of his requirements. Dinda feels that the most important thing is to apply for a job wherever it is. Not choosing certain factories because the important thing is applying and getting a job.

Tini saw Dinda write down several factory addresses that were opening job openings. Tini also felt Dinda did not waste the opportunity. Finally Tini and Mba Erna advanced forward to the desk of the post office employee. Giving a large brown envelope containing a file of cover letter to post office employees.

After paying the administration, they left the post office. The clock shows 9 o'clock past 15 minutes. They talked on public transport. Want to apply for a job where, they are confused because they have not heard the information again. They finally decided to go back to the contract.

That day Dinda and Tini just went to the post office with mba Erna. After arriving at the contract, they rest for a while while watching television. They wrote several more job application letters to be sent to the factory address Dinda wrote at the post office. They have been looking for a job for almost a week but nothing has happened.

Their days are busy with finding work from one factory to another. But a week has not been successful in getting a job. It turns out that finding a job is not as easy as imagined. Dinda thought in Cikarang there were many opportunities to get a job. There is only one chance to get that job. However, reality is not as beautiful as one might think. The number of job vacancies, but only a few are in accordance with the conditions requested by the company.

Vacancies for employees and employees of High School graduates and their equivalent, age, work experience, are among them. Dinda hopes it won't take long to get a job. Because his pocket money is running low. How later Dinda had to tell her parents if she got home before getting a job. Really Dinda did not want it, which is to go home without results.

Every time, especially prayer 5 times, Dinda always pray to be facilitated to quickly get a job. Even night prayer Dinda do, because in addition to the habit, it is a thing that must be done let alone there is a desire. Dinda believes that God will surely ease his path.

A week has passed without news of job vacancies. Even if you hear there is a job vacancy through an insider. Namely through people who work in the scope of the factory and there are also those who go through some outsiders but have to pay some money.

What an irony is not it?, when people are difficult to find job vacancies to get a job, and also income. There are some people who take advantage of this condition. People who want to help someone to get a job but ask for a few pieces of money.

Dinda and Tini sometimes ask for a rented mother or a rented father, there may be a telephone call for tests at a company whose job application is through the post office. At that time hp was not like now everyone had. Still use public telephones and home telephones. Hp is still considered an expensive item, therefore not everyone has.

A week passed Monday arrived, Dinda and Tini were preparing to leave for one of the factories in Jababeka area one. They set out to see the announcement of their job application last week. Together with Mba Erna, they set out together.

Arriving in front of the factory they headed, it turns out that in the factory there are many people waiting for the announcement. Not long after that a piece of paper was put on the wall next to the gate. One by one, people read the announcement. Those who passed the initial selection they went inside through the gate. And for those who do not graduate straight home.

Dinda and Tini and mba Erna passed the initial selection. They entered then waited on call to do a written test. There are so many people, but for some groups. Each of them talked to each other. Ask each other questions and answer and get acquainted. Both job applicants, but still they are rivals to get a job.

After passing the initial selection the next stage is the written test. Some people began to be called by the security guard. They consist of 6 people per group. The others are still waiting to be called. Dinda, Tini and Erna are called for the next test.

They went inside directly up to the top of the 2nd floor because there the place did a written test. They sat in the front seat of the table in front of the 3 people who were already waiting. One began to speak to the job applicants. One of them gave a piece of paper that read a mathematical problem. There are 15 mathematical problems in the sheet. And one only looks at job applicants. They are the personnel, and the Supervisor of the company who will select the job applicants.

Within 10 minutes, they were asked to do 15 problems. Dinda, Tini and others including mba Erna are getting ready to work on it. The nervousness, gurgling and tension felt by Dinda made her hands wet with sweat. With prayer in her heart, Dinda began to work on the matter without feeling any difficulty.

Now the time of 10 minutes has run out, one by one the matter was taken back by Mr. Supervisor. And directly in check and given value. Each job applicant sees the value given by the Supervisor. On the sidelines paying attention to the value given, one of the personnel said that they had finished for today. And come back, today's test announcement is Wednesday two days later at 9am.

The job applicants finally came out one by one. They immediately left the factory including Dinda and Tini and Mba Erna. On the way home, they chatted about a math test that was difficult for them. With 15 questions of time 10 minutes on average can only do 10 problems even then do not know the answer is right or wrong. They only see Mr. Supervisor giving values that are not clearly visible to them.

It was only prayer that they finally said that they could pass the written test and could continue for the next test. Dinda and Tini feel like they don't know if they're graduating or not. They felt the answers to the written tests were unsatisfactory. Talk to each other until they arrive at the bamboo trench.

They separated, mba Erna immediately returned to his contract and Dinda and Tini also immediately returned to the contract mba Lilis. It might be a tiring day for both of them. Evening arrived, Dinda and Tini as usual chat with Mba Lilis. Lilis is not overtime today, so it is still relaxing in front of the television. It was so late, they finally rested.
