Only Zi

The Unexpected Surprise

Day

“Assalaamu’alaikum Zi you how are you?” Zahra's voice across the phone

“Alhamdulillaah healthy my brother, Alhamdulillah this afternoon Zi has completed the trial Brother Zahra”

“God is amazing lightning huh Zi, let fast what Zi?

“Let's work fast brother, Oh yes Brother Zahra already got work Kak?”

“Alhamdulillah already Zi, not long from graduation sister, you plan to go home or want to find a job here Zi?”

“Hm. after thinking it looks like Zi work in Jakarta first Kak problem if you go home, Zi is still not imagined will apply for a job where, continue the opportunity also feels small Kak there. Brother Zahra there may be vacancy info for my majors Kak?”

“If now seems not yet, but later if there is info vacancy Brother would tell you”

*****

Zi is still enjoying her free time after graduation, looking for job info in print, social media, the official website of several companies and finally she tries to apply to some companies that feel good.

One week later

“Ki can leave me room for a minute?” Call Za from his desk.

Soon Rizky Pun entered while saying his greetings

“Why Za, how can I help you?”

Za began to explain that they currently have several projects with almost the same completion schedule.

This means that this company requires several new qualified employees if necessary who are already experienced.

Finally Za asks Rizky to find a new employee to pursue a deadline at their company, because Za believes Rizky can recommend some of his experienced acquaintances, even if not experienced at least the person can and wants to work hard.

“What should not involve HRD alone Za?”

“Already no need, for this business I trust lo Ki, for HRD later let me overcome, so later the application files to be sent to the loan table only ya”

Rizky could only nod at the request of her best friend.

*****

“Assalaamu’alaikum Zi there is a vacancy, maybe want to try” a message from Iqbal

Zi was stunned, this was a big company between sure and not to try it, because honestly Zi herself was not confident enough with her current ability, but there was no harm in trying it instead.

Finally Zi decided to submit a proposal to the company.

*****

From the 14th Floor of the Hartono Group Building, a man looked at some of the application files that were in front of him at this time. “Crazy a lot also yes, even though only share in the campus architecture group course”

Before long, of the many files that entered he was stunned to see a name in front of him “Oh yes, why did I not think to tell this child, he said, really work makes me forget the women's affairs”.

After deliberating with Za it was decided they would call 20 people who would be selected 9 women and 11 men after choosing from 50 files.

Monday morning they were ready in the interview room, Zi used a black skirt and blazer suit that she accidentally bought after getting the info passed the selection of the certification, which was not available, without forgetting his wide hijab that he let unravel outside his blazer.

Zi's appearance at that time appeared “asing” among other interview participants, because among them only Zi who uses a wide hijab while the other girl uses a short hijab wrapped around her neck.

Iqbal gets the order no.9 while Zi gets the ultimate number. While all the participants were waiting in line for an interview, Za, the Head of HRD and Rizky walked past them and there was a face of amazement, fear and surprise.

Oh so Rizky and Kak Za employees here too. Think Zi and Iqbal

As a man introduced them one by one, how shocked Zi's expression was, in disbelief at what he had just heard.

Astaghfirulloh, what a disaster. How could and how could I be trapped in this place. Which is true, where can I work with an ice-cold man and a flat face that. Ish Pede once I, accepted in this sebonafide company of course not necessarily”

While waiting for a long queue, Iqbal and Zi chose to perform the duha prayer first, at the mosque located on the 1st Floor.

Iqbal chose to leave the mosque immediately, while Zi decided to lie down there first, in order to make his mind and heart more calm.

*****

“How to Bal, smoothly?” It turns out that it's not good so the final order of the dag dig dug is too long"

“Alhamdulillah smoothly Zi, just relax Insha Allah you can, if it is Rizkiya Insya Alloh oral you will be facilitated”

“How sinister the question is not, ouh unthinkable so the chairman of BEM only sometimes terrible, this so Boss” Zi began to wring his hands, so, a higher level of anxiety he felt compared to when he had a thesis trial.

“Bal, I mending meet the killer lecturer alone rather than being asked the same person as Kak Za”

Iqbal chuckles

“Not ko, not creepy just indeed the question sometimes surprises”

“Ya same then”

Shortly after Zi's turn, Zi was seen kamit while waiting for the 3 people in front of him to read the file he gave.

1,2,3,10 questions that are asked alternately by 3 people in front of him can be answered well, Zi, even though there is one question that is not answered perfectly so that it is equipped directly with the answer by the flat-faced CEO.

“What's your reason for applying to this company?” Ask Za back

“Because in my opinion, I can develop myself and realize my dream in this company” Zi replied firmly

“Why can be so sure?” Rizky started to wonder

“I read some profiles about this company, I think even though the news that appeared in the media is not the form of this company completely, I think, but I have a feeling that this company is a fairly recognized company in Indonesia”

“If it turns out that your dream cannot be realized here, and this company does not match your expectations, what will you do?” this time the HRD chief asked

“If my dream is not realized because of a mistake I made myself, I will try to improve myself, but if my dream is not achieved because this company failed me, I doubt it, because there is no way this many employees can survive if the place he initiates ideas, energy and his mind does not get compensation in accordance with the hard work he does. I think this company is very professional in treating its employees”.

“You sure you look like that when you work?” ask HRD back

“Very sure Pa, because so far what I wear has never limited my wiggle room, let alone affected my performance. But if the company objected to the way I dress maybe I will miss the opportunity to work here”
