Cikarang (Work And Love)

Episode 17's

Passed the written test.

The morning showed his face. The morning sun was warm and welcoming. Dinda has been preparing to leave for Jababeka area one. Tini had also prepared to depart together with Dinda.

The two of them after breakfast and closed the door and locked it began to leave. Walk towards the bamboo monument and cross the crowded streets by motorbikes and buses, as well as transportation.

Mba Erna who was waiting for them immediately greeted him. Finally they departed by public transport k 39 c to the terminal and directly to Teleng. Take a small road to Jababeka area one. The road is always crowded by two-wheeled vehicles especially when leaving and returning to work.

Some people also walk. It was a crowded street, even until midnight. Maybe because of the shift work that applies in the factory in Jababeka area one. Some go in the evening home in the morning, go in the morning home in the afternoon, and go in the afternoon home in the middle of the night.

Dinda, Tini and Mba Erna who chat about shift work make Dinda who just set foot in Cikarang feel a bit worried if later get the existing job in the evening. But mba Erna assured Dinda, that if in Cikarang it is crowded almost 24 hours, let alone hours to go home from work even though at night.

Walking through several factories, they finally arrived at PT. MMI. Having previously conducted a written test, today was his announcement. Several people were already in front of the factory waiting for the announcement. There were some people who passed by then asked if the factory was opening job vacancies. But because it was answered by his security guard and also the applicants who had done a written test, the person who asked then left.

Not long after, the security guard came out with a piece of paper in his hand. The paper is attached to the wall next to the factory fence. The applicants went directly to the piece of paper that was attached. From the announcement, some people passed the written test and went straight inside the gate. Dinda, Tini, and mba Erna also passed the written test.

They entered the gate waiting for the next test. Some people were also with Dinda and others. After a few minutes, the security guard began calling 5 people to take the next test. The next test is the interview test, where the applicants will be asked by personnel or HRD.

Waiting and waiting finally arrived at the turn of Dinda, Tini, and mba Erna called into the factory. They were accompanied by 2 other applicants. Enter the room and sit in a chair in front of the personnel or HRD.

One by one job applicants are asked by the personnel or HRD. Including Dinda, who since it was not the first time Dinda had experienced something like this, Dinda was somewhat calmer. Previously Dinda had been asked or in interviews when applying for work in her village, precisely in the city where she lived. So Dinda does not tremble or groggy faced with questions from personnel or HRD.

A few minutes had passed, and Dinda and her friend had already done an interview test. At that time the personnel informed him that his decision was 2 days later. So for the day it was over, they were allowed to go straight home.

It turns out this is the reason, from earlier job applicants who have finished conducting a live interview test go home. Dinda, Tini and mba Erna also went straight home. They hope after this the final decision is acceptable to work in the factory.

Day after day, still with the same routine. Those who work, they leave and go home from the factory where they work. During the holidays can take a walk out either playing to friends or shopping needs.

Every day also Dinda is still looking for work with Tini eagerly walking down the factories in the region. Whether it is hyundai, ejip, delta silicon, Jababeka one or Jababeka two. Walking from one factory to another factory just ask the security guard, whether there are job vacancies.

All of that is done because they want to get a job, to earn salary money to help the economy of parents. Try to be independent by finding your own money for the needs of his life.

Decision day will be accepted for work or rejected has arrived. As usual Dinda and other applicants who have conducted interview tests before have been present in front of PT. MMI. They are job applicants waiting for the announcement.

The security guard came out of the factory with a piece of paper. That paper will determine the fate of the applicants who have been waiting for it. Dinda continued to pray in her heart that she would be accepted to work in the factory.

The security guard began to speak to the applicants. Then notify that received work directly into facing personnel or HRD. Precisely the second floor leads to the employee cafeteria. And those who are not accepted immediately go home and next time may try to reapply if there is another job vacancy.

The security guard began to call one by one the job applicants. The name called is the person who passed the interview test as well as the person who was accepted to work at the factory. One by one they started to enter the gate and enter the factory.

When there were a few more people left, it turned out that Tini and Mba Erna were called by the security guard. Dinda heart feels stubborn because his name has not been called by the security guard.is still waiting and there are only a few more people left. Dinda's name has not been called yet.

Finally the name Dinda was called by the security guard and it turns out the name Dinda is the last name called. Dinda feels grateful, because it has been accepted by the company. Dinda went into the factory after those who had been called.

Inside the canteen room, Tini and mba Erna glanced at each other and whispered asking Dinda. Until they finally saw Dinda enter, Tini and Mba Erna were happy. Finally they can be accepted to work in the factory together. Meet and make friends and apply for work together. Now they are accepted to work in the same place.

They are so grateful that their struggle is paying off. Struggling to find a job and now finally get the job. All prospective workers sit and stay in the employee cafeteria. Waiting for personnel and HRD. Not long after that came the personnel and HRD.

Personnel explained that the names in the room are prospective new employees in the company. Before they work there are some rules that they must obey. Among them is contract work. Work with a certain time, meaning in the specified time they work in the company. After that, they automatically quit their job. Unless extended by the company, they are still working.

Personnel explain everything that concerns the company. The workers listen carefully. After completion, personnel call one by one the names of prospective workers to sign a specific time employment agreement or contract work.

After signing the contract, they immediately went home. They leave in the morning on Monday. Start work in the morning at 7 to go home at 4 pm. One by one they exited the employee cafeteria and continued out the factory gate.

Dinda, Tini and mba Erna walk together and take public transportation together as well. In the car they chatted and finally agreed to Monday, they would go to work together.

Finally Dinda and Tini feel grateful and happy to be able to get a job after almost two weeks in Cikarang. Their hard work while searching for a job paid off already. Indeed, their working time is not long, only a 3-month contract. But from the personnel said if later it can still allow still work it will be extended his working period.
