Girl Without Nasab & Ningrat Son

Job Search in Gudeg City

Only a week after graduation, Irene began to guerrilla to find work. The young girl did not want to stay unemployed for long. According to Irene herself if she is too long unemployed and more at home, Irene can be lazy and reluctant to immediately find work.

Irene even surfed on Facebook and Instagram looking for job postings. Not only that, sometimes Irene traveled around in several regions in the city of Gudeg to find work. Believe me, the real struggle begins when completing education. Although he has a degree and diploma, but getting a job is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Especially with the number of graduates every year, but the employment available is so limited every year.

This time after circling around looking for work, Irene stopped by her sister's house. Moreover, the afternoon was so hot, Irene thought she wanted to take shelter first, later a little afternoon just returned home.

"Assalamualaikum Mba Didi," said Irene as she knocked on the door.

Not long after, Indi himself opened the door. Indi smiled to see his sister coming to his house.

"Waalaikumsalam, enter Ante Irene," said Indi.

Entering her sister's house, Irene finally sat in the living room. She was so happy when her brother made her a drink.

"Where from?" ask Indi to his sister.

"Abis muter-muter looking for a place to apply for a job, Ma'am. Oh my, it's hot. That's why I stopped by here, Ma'am," Irene said.

Indi nodded his head, he did know this afternoon was so hot. Moreover, his sister was riding a motorcycle, circling the streets in the city of Gudeg must have been very hot. However, the thrill of finding a job is also like this. Warming up in the hot sun, asking a lot of people, entering applications, or rejected because it does not comply with the specifications or the like.

"Mbak Indi used to look for a job?" Irene asked her sister.

"No, I graduated straight to work in Dad's office. Moreover, the graduates are like Dad, so immediately recruited," Indi replied.

Indeed Indi since childhood wanted to become an interior designer just like his father. So, once you have graduated Indi works in the office owned by Dad Pandu himself, studied directly to his father. While Irene was taking up child education, Irene wanted to become a teacher. Therefore, Irene went around to the children's schools and asked if there were any job openings.

"If you become a PAUD teacher, how much does Rene pay?" ask Indi to his sister.

"No idea, Ma'am. Moreover, usually PAUD is only a foundation. Maybe small, Mother. Asked to serve first" he replied.

Actually, that is how it is when you have aspirations as a teacher or teacher. Often times when working is not salary oriented first. Teachers are asked to not only work, but also serve, Wiyata Bhakti first. Teaching is serving and serving, even though the salary is small, but it must provide the best education for students.

"My time is still honorary ever paid one hundred thousand per month, Rene. If it has been lifted it is delicious," said Indi.

In Jogjakarta itself has a regional minimum wage of 1.9 million rupiah. It even recorded the lowest regional minimum wage in Indonesia. Even so, some people who live in Jogjakarta feel happy. Sufficient yourself with a variety of cheap culinary and fit in the bag. Just imagine, the price of Cat Rice is only a range of two thousand to three thousand rupiahs. Sometimes it only takes ten to fifteen blue rupiahs alone can eat full at Angkringan.

Indi nodded his head. If calculating income by standard in the city area is fairly small. It will be very different from other big cities. However, Indi also believed that when his sister had aspirations as a teacher, Irene must have considered everything including the income earned.

"Continue the result of the muters already obtained?" ask Indi.

"Yet, Ma'am. The opportunity to become a teacher of children is not easy, Ma'am. Don't know how later. I tried to get a job in the city. The new school year is also long, so relax a little. Only, have graduated and not immediately worked it so embarrassed the parents, Ma'am. Cook is big, still given pocket money with Yayah and Nda," Irene story.

"It's okay. It's a sign of affection from Yayah and Nda. Ma'am used to be even paid Hayah loh, because it works with Yamah," Indi replied with a laugh.

Irene finally laughed as well. Even so, Irene actually wanted to be independent and work alone. There is a desire to give both parents the income they get. Shame, if you are old and have graduated from college, but still given pocket money by his parents.

"Eat first yuk, Rene. Maak cook Ayam Balado. Mumpung Nang-Nang bobok, you eat first calmly," said Indi.

Irene finally obeyed her brother. Head to the dinner table and immediately take the white Rice, Sauteed kale, and Chicken Balado. Irene looked so hungry that she looked so good to enjoy her food.

"That's a hell, Ma'am. I haven't eaten the food in a long time, Ms. Didi, it's so different" said Irene.

"Too bad? I deliberately gave her a bit of chili" said Indi again.

"Not bad, Ma'am. It's even delicious."

Finishing her meal, Irene washed the tableware herself. After that, he sat back on the sofa while opening his phone. Check back for messages that have just been in.

"If the work in Jakarta is how, Rene?" ask Indi now.

"Yes, it's available anyway. It's just like Mother disagrees. So, I was trying to find a job inside the city first. Later if it stops there are no jobs, yes I go to Jakarta, Mbak. Only, registration until the interview I asked by online. So, online first. If I go back and forth there baby, Ma'am. Heavy costs especially if not accepted would be a waste of money. Good luck, Ma'am. They can select and interview process by Zoom."

What Irene said was true as well. If you go back and forth to Jakarta to register and other procedures will certainly be heavily charged. Especially the distance from Jakarta to Jogjakarta. Travel tickets, even where to stay should be considered as well. Another story when just came to Jakarta when it really has got a job.

It is not easy to find a job now. Limited employment is something that is often faced by job applicants. Just like Irene who had to find it first even though there was no certainty as well.
